BRITISH AGRICULTURE
ASSISTANCE FROM CHILDREN GATHERING THE HARVEST (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) RUGBY, June 10. Stating, that it. would be necessary to depend this year to a much greater extent for gathering the British hardest on the help of local volunteers, school children and young people, the Ministry of Agriculture says a special tribute must be paid to the help already given to agriculture by schools and school children. Last year about 250 schoolboy harvest camps attended by at least 8000 boys were formed, and they gave valuable help to farmers.. This year there will be considerably greater acreages of crops to be harvested, and the Ministry looks to the school children for even more help, but this does not mean that the Government wishes to exploit children, and it will not relax the ■ safeguards designed to protect their health and welfare.
