Farmers protest draft impact on farms and labor supply
The piece argues farm labor losses stem from wartime shifts, not just the draft. It links rising prices and factory demand to a steady outflow of workers from farms, urging terms that keep more young men on farms and noting farmer loyalty despite hardship. It also mentions luncheon at the soldiers home and a senior class play tomorrow.
