The regular monthly «meeting of the Bates county poultry association will be held at the court house in But- ler, Saturday afternoon, April 13, 1918. George M. Hartrick, Realizing the great shortage of farm help available now and for the ‘coming season, and the great import- ance of thoroughly niustering for farm service all the forces in every community, the U. S. Department of Agriculture co-operating with the Col- lege of Agriculture of Missouri have placed Ira F. Reed in Missguri as Federal Farm Help Specialist and are pushing to immediate completion the organization .of the Farm Help Vol- unteers-of, Missouri, and every person not already doing their best at farm work owes it to their country to en- roll at once for local service. This organization is a mighty band of Patriotic workers for service in their immediate vicinity at some kind of farm work, either all or part of their time and by the completion of the organization, each cominunity will have at home an official im charge of | the labor problem, who with the patri- | otic co-operation of the tommunity should do a great deal in solving the | labor shortage, locally by an econom- ic distribution of all available labor. While in Butler Saturday and Mon- day Mr. Reed appointed Dr. J. T.} Hull as Director of the Butler Divis- jion of the Farm Help Volunteers of Missouri. He will immediately ap- point the necessary enrolling commit- ; tee and effect a thorough organization of Butler and also has authority to; serve other parts of the county in ef- fecting like organizations there, Dr. Hull will also be representative of State Labor Commissioner, W. H. Lewis, in Bates County, and Bates County is thus foremost in the state in availing itself of the advantages of- fered by this great plan. Dr. Hull accepts the appointment purely as a patriotic duty, without re- ‘have sold for $1.50 a bushel and. the: jgreat good to Bates and help of every true American, All farmers—needing—help~shotld-consult} |him, and every patriotic person who | for hire at farm work should seé him or the committee on enrollment and | enroll as one of this mighty band of workers who will help produce and! conserve the food necessary to the un- furling of Old Glory in Berlin.
