Mr. AmoryCounty agricultural executive committees have been informed of the local arrangements under which farmers can apply for the help of Service men when no civilian labour is available. Committees will also be aware that a Service man may apply to his commanding officer for compassionate leave if his absence would cause severe hardship on his or his parents' farm.
