In speaking Of the establishing of Il
farm labor bureau In Vernon: for tho
benefit of our farmers, State Commits
sioner Of Agriculture l.. S. Brigham
writes in part rs follows:
While ! believe that we must seek men
wherever We can find them anC OF what
ever nationality it is possible to obtain,
to relieve our need for seasonable labor,
yet ] want 20 make a strong campaign to
induce people Of a more desirable type 10

countries in the hope that they become
permanent settlers. ! am going to follow
W every possible clue that viii lead to
our getting men Of this character in the
hope that We can get some new blood into
IN" state. ] cannot guarantee quality OF
men and cannot see that the contract of
either party IL carried out OF enter into
this contract in any way. but will simply
act as n 'gO-betwcen' to put tho people
who need workers and the people who
need work in touch with each other" '
Going more into detail Commissioner
brigham says: The plan Is 10
allow all farmers who are in need
of farm labor to apply to this
bureau, stating fully their wants.
kind Of farming they are engaged in, the
wages they are willing to pay, etc. The
plan of sccuriuE labor Is two-fold first, to
enable the dhoreIs in our towns and cit
les Of Vermont to get in touch with local
employers, It IS proposed to allow labor
ers to register at this bureau stating their
experience, wages they desire. etc. Then
it IS proposed to issue circulars revised
from time to time putting registered en-
ployes and laborers in touch with each
other.
'Th second plan to enlarge the labor
supply is to try to attract labor from out
side of the State. The most promising
source Of supply is the pewly arrived i'm
migrants who come to this country in
great numbers every year, a large per-
centage Of them having been engaged in
farm labor in their home countries.
