Rules for Use of Prisoners of War by Frederick County Farmers
The Frederick County Fruit Growers Association outlines conditions for employing German POWs on farms. It requires noon meals, weather contingency notices to the Camp Commander by 7 00 AM, driver and transportation at the user’s cost, ferme restraints, detailed mileage logs for 1 cent per prisoner per mile, and a 50 cent per day cap. A foreman must direct prisoner work. guards cannot fill that role. If not needed next day, the Camp Commander must be notified by noon previous day to avoid charges. Monthly statements cover preceding month’s prisoner labor. Sub contractors pay 5 cents per prisoner per day to offset rental and other costs. Placements are handled via the County Agent’s office in the County Courthouse. Contact A F Lillard Farm Labor Assistant for details.
