MASSACHUSETTS PLAN OF INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT
WITH FARMER
To the Committee on Food Production and Conservation
(Department of Mobilization of Schoolboys for Farm Service)
Dear Sirs:
I hereby apply for ____________ boys to be employed by me
as general farm labor according to the terms and regulations
on the reverse side of this application.
I shall require these boys to begin work upon ______________
and probably require their services, if satisfactory,
until ______________________________________________________
I agree to pay each boy $4 per week for the first two
weeks, and $6 per week thereafter; such payment to be
made on Saturday of each week. (Afterwards changed, see
chapter on "Farm Cadets," p. 250.)
If the boy lives in a camp, I agree to pay $4 per week
for his board, and if he lives with me, I will furnish his
board; the above to be in addition to his wages.
I agree to employ the boy on rainy days as well as fair
days, and on rainy days to use his service as far as possible
under cover.
I agree, if the boy is unsatisfactory, to give him one
week's notice or one week's pay, providing him with a
statement in writing giving my reasons for his discharge.
Whenever in the opinion of the local supervisor, the conditions
of living or of labor are not satisfactory, the boy may
be withdrawn without prejudice to him.
