Report of Knoxville Farm Labor Association
(page 1, Col. 1)
Due to the great number of our boys having answered our national call, this association was formed to assist the farmers in harvesting their crops. Eighty-four of our citizens, including professional and business men, furnished two hundred and fifty full days, and one hundred and ten half days, making a total of three hundred and five full days labor.
Seventy four different farmers called for help and in every instance the demand was supplied.
In behalf of the farmers, I wish to extend thanks to all who so willingly responded to this patriotic duty.
I have received many expressions of appreciation from the farmers for the splendid service rendered.
Respectfully submitted,
E. R. Lacy, Agent
