M.. Dewan, Ontario. Minister of Agriculture, in voicing a plea to all urban centres for an official organization of man power. during• the rush of hay, grain and corn harvests to aid hard-pressed •and over-worked farmers:. County farm' surveys, ,:said the Minister,` 'show that farmers feel they must crop every possible acre to keep Canada and Britain provided with wholesome war foods. During the next few weeks farmers will be working •long • hours . at high pres- sure to get `seed into the ground: Harvesting this crop is a national problem which it is probable can be met only. by adequate help from' cities and towns. Mr. Dewan ' pointed out that a number of urban centres had . al- ready formed organizations to aid farmerswith their crops. He re- quests that Boalyds of Trade, Service Clubs, town and•city councils could take thelead and co-operate to form, similar organizations in all centres. Volunteers can then ,register with. their local' organization; for harvest work on farms , of friends or rela- tives,. or •go out in carloads, of` four or five to nearby. farms. Local •or- ganizations already formed are co- operating• with the Farilti Service Force, Agricultural' Representatives and Employment, Agencies, Mr. De - wan declared. No one could predict harvest wea- ther. •Heavy rains would add much .difficulty,. Properly .harvested (crops mean just as much to urban dwell- ers . as to farmers; for unharvested crops would mean a food shortage. The best form of efficiency, •said. Mr. Dewan, is the:.' spontaneous co- operation of a free people. The Agricultural War Production committee of Bruce County intends to organize the towns and villages of the •countythrough their, local. Committees, to registerlvoltinteers for harvest work on farms of rela- tives or friends, or go out in' car- loads of 4 or '5 to nearby farms in the evenings and half holidays, or, in short, to' meet, any , problefn that Might . arise in harvesting the 19'42 crop. .
