ASSISTING THE FARMER
Meetings Arranged Between
Land Owners and Prospec-
tive Farm Laborers.

Nine engagements for meet
ings between farm owners and
prospective employees are shown
on the engagement book at the
free employment agency in the
office of the state statistician for
this week. The engagement book
rs a new departure in the bureau,
having been introduced at the
request OF land owners who are
looking to the bureau for help for
the coming crop season, and who
are always anxious To look pros
pective employe over before en-
tering into seasons contract.
The farmers generally have Sig
nihed a willingness to bear the
expense of a trip to Indianapolis
rather than to forego the chance
of obtaining help, which accord
ing to the information in the
hands of the bureau. is unusual
" scarce this year.
Farm laborers, as a rule, are
employed to begin work about
March 1, and many farmers have
put off communicating with the
bureau in the belief that they
wouldI be able to obtain help at
home, but the letters being re-
ceived indicate that the disap-
pOintment on this score is some
what general. and that the bu-
reau will be called ON to furnish
help in all parts OF the state be-
fore the month is closed.
Almost al. the letters asking
for help signify specifically that
the applicants must be sober"
Most of the farmers will have
nothing to do with laborers who
are given to drink.
