Farm Plans To
Recruit 200
   Tentative plans were
made for the recruiting
of nearly 200 farm workers
in the next three weeks,
at a meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the blocks
and the farm section Thur s -
day evening at Town hall.
   A tour of the project
farm will be conducted next
week in order to increase
the interest in this pro-
gram.    It was felt by the
group that those with farm
experience or with an in-
terest in the farm would
feel an urge to get out and
help if they actually vis-
ited the field and saw the
progress made.
   Meetings will be con-
ducted in each block to
impress upon the residents
the importance of the farm
program and the acuteness
of  the   labor  shortage.
   Representatives in the
block will make direct con-
tast with unemployed persons
to urge them to work on
the   farm.
   The meeting was opened
by Project Director James
G. Lindley, who urged the
people to make the  “apa-
thetic. . . conscious  that
they are a minority group
here and are not popular."
He asked the old and the
young to forget their sqaub -
bles as "the farm need you
both" and "the center' is
going  to need  the   farm."
   John Spencer, new chief
of the agriculture divi-
sion, said that people who
pass the farm, are watching
its progress with interest.
"Many," he declared, "expect
and some hope it will fail.
This is a challenge to all
of you."
   A report on the progress
to date of the vegetable
acreages were made by Roy
Nakatani who introduced
each of the unit supervi-
sors.    Henry Shimizu re-
ported on the poultry unit
and George Miyake on the
beef  cattle and feed  crops.
Miyake emphasized, that it
was "our "bellies" that were
concerned and the attitude
that the government would
feed us would not furnish
us with food that no longer
existed.
