How do White blood cells get rid of Harmful microbes?

White blood cells use phagocytosis to remove foreign particles from the blood stream. These cells will literally engulf foreign particles that are the same size as itself. There are two types of white blood cells which act as phagocytes: macrophages and polymorphic leucocytes. To be phagocytosed, particles need to bind to the receptors on the phagocyte. Then the particle is engulfed and absorbed.

Which organ in the body produces white blood cells?

WBCs are originally formed in the Bone Marrow inside the Bone in an immature form. From there, it migrates to the Thymus Organ where it gains its maturity and differentiation into T cells or other types of cells. It then circulates in the blood stream so it is pretty much found in every organ where the blood flows. :)
