L. Wilson, director of Extension Work, U. S. D. A. X . Get in the scrap! secretary o' ‘czar” for the nation, and Paul V. McNutt, chair man of the War Manpower com* mission and Federal Security ad ministrator, as controller of tlr U. S. manpower, many of the seri- us problems which had been im peding the all-out war effort will lessened, perhaps dissolved. Despite the increased demands for more food to feed the U. S.. the Allies and those in occupied countries, many farm leaders have stated less production in stead of more faced the nation be cause of crop restrictions, and lack of help. Secretary Wickard now has the sole responsibility of providing remedies for these in creasing complaints. Hand in bend with the farm la bor situation facing Mr. Wickard will be the activity of WMC chairman McNutt in seeing that there will be sufficient labor for any Job, whether on the farm or in war production plants, to pro duce sufficiently for victory. The power which new labor “czar” McNutt has includes con trol over the selective service commission, besides the authority to move workers in non-war in dustries into war industries. War Production board chairman Donald M. Nelson-, and Price Ad ministrator Leon Henderson, will work in conjunction with both Mr. Wickard, and Mr. McNutt so that the food and labor program de cided upon will continue opera tion with a minimum of inter- runtion. Now many of the seemingly im possible problems which have faced American farmers will be solved through the offices of Messrs. Wickard and McNutt. Th'' labor shortage difficutly ‘ which was growing daily despite make shift stop-gaps by various govern ment offices, such as the moving of surplus farm help from one part of the nation to another, will be relieved both through the stop ping of vountary enlistments in the various branches of the armed forces, deferment of necessary farm help, and the movement— through authority of the presi dential order—of labor to the farm, when necessary, from non war industries. Mr. McNutt's authority gives him what is practically dictatorial powers. He now has power over more men In this country than any person has exercised in its history. The power now vested in the two new “czars” for food and labor are of the type, and extent, that every available bit of labor, food and material necessary Jor the winning of the war, and the feed ing of millions during the war and afterwards, will be fused into a working combination that is as efficient, and completely organized as possible. President Roosevelt, when the authority was delegated by him, announced that in case any con troversy should arise in which either Mr. McNutt, Wickard, or Secretary of Interior Ickes—who was recently appointed petroleum administrator—were involved, he would personally arbitrate the matter. All three of the new admini strators are midwesterners. Two of them, McNutt and Wickard, are from Indianna. Ickes is from Illinois. x 4,106 Bales Of Cotton Ginned In McCor mick County To December 1st BELK’S Finishing 1 the year with a million dollar volume SALE Sale Now Going On.
