It has emanated from the Minister of Munitions and has been taken up by the Council of Agriculture, which has circularised all branches of the Farmers' Union, pointing out the country'a need, and the fact that there are about 3000 hoys in our secondary schools whose services could be obtained during the holidays for harvesting and oilier farm work.
