Get in Line Boys to Fight World Famine on Farms
The U S Boys Working Reserve aims to enroll and train five hundred thousand American boys ages 16 to 18 to work on farms during the next harvest season. It argues farm labor is essential to boost U S food production for both domestic needs and starving populations in Europe and Asia. The 1918 program enrolled over 200,000 boys and reportedly raised U S production enough to feed about 50 million people for a year, proving reserve boys’ value and leading to the program becoming a permanent government activity.
