ITS THE BUBBLES IN THE FLAKES THAT DISTINGUISH States CVER 500 BCYS IN AGRICULTURAL ARMY, And Every One of Them is Busy in the Planting Line. en- than 3500 boys ticut Junior and they are busy, em, on planting said nrolling Of Arthur Howe turday at the office of tl committee of food supp.y, Connectic council of defense. “We can use double that number of boys if we can find them,” he continued. “In fact, our big problem now is to find enough boys to meet the demand. A peach grower in- quired yesterday asking for 50 boys for himself and 30 for his neighbor. An- other farmer asked to be put down for 40 boys to be used a little later in the season.” As yet, Mr. Howe has no idea where he can enlist these volu teers, but he anticipates no difficulty in obtaining them as soon as the need becomes known throughout the state. He is planning.a definite campaign to enlist them at once before the close of school. Up to the present time all the boys enrolled have been placed on individual farms. However, in order to meet the demand where farmers need a large number of boye and do not have suffi- cient accommodations for them, camps are being planned. These camps will be under the supervision of competent directors who will be responsible for the welfare of the boys. The camp will be divided into squads, each squad under the leadership of a college m who will work with the boys and have charge of them in the field. Pro- ons wiil be made for boarding the 'y the expense coming from their earnings. lLocal arrangements will be made in every case in regard to wages and hours. One such camp will be in operation in New Haven within a few days, the boys to be employed by truck gardeners. Others will be established as soon as the bovs ¢an be enlisted and competent leaders secured. Mr. Howe is especially anxious that men who are competent to take charge of such a camp get in touch with him. It is possible that the lack of such leaders may hold back the work, for no camps will be established without competent men Iin charge. No camp of less than 10 will be established.
