Meredith Appeals for Farm Labor to Prevent Decline in Production
Secretary of Agriculture E T Meredith urges city men and students to spend vacations on farms to aid harvests as hired labor remains only about 72 percent of normal.

Asher Hobson represents the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Kansas City, with farm management planning likely to announce aid soon. County agents and agricultural extension directors will provide names of farms needing labor.
