May 1. Hence the program already started will continue under the super- 

 vision of the Massachusetts State College Extension Service at Amherst. 

 In close cooperation will be the Massachusetts Farm Labor Committee ap- 

 pointed several months ago by Governor Saltonstall, the high schools, the 

 U.S. Employment Service, and other interested groups. 



In dealing with the farm labor problem first attention should be 

 given to the full utilization of all labor resources within the comraunity. 

 ViThere there is not enough labor available locally the farm labor assistants 

 will attempt to recruit workers from nearby communities. The need of year- 

 round workers on farms presents a much more difficult problem. There is 

 no supply pf year-round workers. Consequently close cooperation with local 

 selectiTO^D%iards is needed to keep present necessary year-round workers on 

 productive or essential farms. 



The county agricultural agents have full responsibility for the 

 recruitment and placement of farm workers in their respective counties. 

 They will be assisted by these nev^ly appointed emergency farm labor assist- 

 ants. These men will do everything in their pov;er, but it will be necessary 

 for any farmer who has a farm labor problem to take that problem to the 

 county agricultural agent's office. For Suffolk County the emergency farm 

 labor assistant is John B. Casey, head master of the Jamaica Plain High School. 



In close cooperation with the farm labor program will be the woman's 

 land army and the 4-H farm labor project,
