with the excessive acreage of the av-
erage farm, which runs from $50 east
of the river to 420 west of the Mis-
souri,. More laborers who will work
by the year, or tenants who will
work all or part of the farm on
rental or crop payment basis will
mean much larger percentage OF
land under cultivation and far great.
er yield Decidedly the most crafty
ing feature of the farm labor situa-
ton this season has been the percent
age of genuine farmers who have
come seeking employment with a
view to gradually working into the
possession or rental Of the land which
they have been hired to cultivate.
Beyond the Pale.
One objection raised by the intelli'
gent farm laborer to employment in
North Dakota is that the state offers
few laws for the protection of the
itinerant farm hand. AS a rule, the
floating laborer is unknown in COM
munity except to his employer; he
has no standing in the neighborhood,
and should differences as to wages
crop out or a disabling accident oc'
cur, the employer always has the best
of the argument. The farm hand
argues the need of some court where
Justice will be surveyed cheaply and
impartially, and where the laborer
may depend upon recognition az a cit
izen whose rights are to be safeguard.
caminetti Interested.
The United States employment
service, under whose general supervi-
sion is being made the effort to solve
the farm labor problems Of the great
agricultural states, designates its To-.
cal employment agencies or bureaus
as temporary field offices. A. Cam.
inetti, commissioner general Of immi.
grafton, is giving the project his per.
sonal attention, and the work Is un.
der the direct supervision of T. V.
.Powderly, chief of the division of la.
Dor. The establishment of the North
Dakota Office is a result of visit to
Washington made by Mr.. Flint last
February, when he had an interesting
conference with Mr.. Caminetti. Sim.
liar field headquarters are established
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
The present is the third year Of the
work, which is still very much in san
experimental stage. but which already
has demonstrated great possibilities.
Especially does Commissioner Flint
hope to- see the success of this new
enterprise upon the part of Uncle
Sam result in a real back to the land
movements movement which will
bring from the crowded cities and
from the high priced farm lands of
the east and middle west, men and
women with actual experience in
farm life who may become, first,
hired hands," then tenants, and fin.
ally owners of the hundreds of thous.
ands of acres of cheap but wonder.
fully productive lands which today
are lying fallow because of the lack
Of human energy with which to de.
velop them.

Labor Agent Stanley Shows
What May Be Accomplished
In Labor Distribution

has received calls for S,577 harvest
hands. 1870 stackers, 50 male cooks,
244 female cooks and 1890 men with
teams, a total of 10,456. There have
been assigned to places, direct from
the Office, 148 men who called per-
sonally upon the local agent; 1919 who
made application by mail; 100 who
were picked up on the streets of is
marck-men who wanted to work but
who did not know where or how to
find it--and probably $50 were di.
rected through commercial organiZa-
lions, newspapers and other agencies.
How the deficit of $500 hands was
supplied has not been learned, but it
is presumed that the lack was made
up by the ordinary type OF floating
laborers who follow the harvest from
the south and east
Farmers Ready to Cooperate.
A gratifying feature OF the work
to date has been the ready and eff
cient cooperation of the farmers.
Queries sent out at the beginning OF
the harvest and in advance of the
threshing season resulted in very
complete information as to the num-
Der and nature OF men wanted, wages
paid an dconditions of labor, with the
probable term of employment Offer
ed. With this data on hand, the
agent of the department Of labor was
in position to advise exactly as to-
the situation in various parts of the
state, the wages paid and the oppor-
tunities offered for different types OF
labor.
Men dispatched from the office at
the capitol were furnished with a
blank, addressed to the prospective
employer, reading as follows:
Bearer, ---------, has been
directed to you for harvest work as

TO report ----date."
All Reach Destination.
Practically all Of the men sent out
from the farm labor exchange reach
ed their destination, and the cards
were taken up by the employer and
returned to Mr.. Stanley. In no case
was any Misrepresentation charged.
In addition to the card furnished the
employee, a blank is n(iled direct
from the Office to the employer, who
is advised that on certain date such
and such a man has been directed to
him in response to his application.
There remains little chance for the
harvest hand to lose his way, unless
it is done willfully, and he leaves the
Office of the employment agent with
the assurance that job will be wait.
ing for him at the end. of his journey.
H.. Wide Range in Wages.
Among the interesting points estab-
lished by the cards filed in applying
for hands is the fact that wages in.
crease materially as one travels west
and north through the state. The
range for harvest hands was $3.50 per
day in the southeastern section and
$2.96 in the northwestern. while the
general average for the state was
1921. For threshing hands the av-
erage was so cents the day higher,
averaging around $3.40.
FEW !. w. WIS.
Comparatively few w. W.. men
applied at the Bismarck office. Those
who did stated that their principal
grievances were the treatment re-
ceived and the hours of labor. There
was no particular complaint as to
wages. The great majority of the ap.
plicants for work belonged to the
class of seasonable laborer, the indus
trial nomads of America, who follow
the various crops from the gulf to
the dominion. There was, however,
very fair representation of farmers
sons an dtenant farmers from the
middle west, who, with their crops
out of the way, availed themselves of
this opportunity to visit without ex-
pense to themselves, North Dakota,
and to personally investigate agricul-
tural conditions, with view to be.
coming permanent settlers.
Many Want Steady Work.
Among the tenant farmers, particu-
larry, there was a gratifying demand
for all-year.round employment Com
missioner Flint regards this as a.
hopeful sign, believing it to forecast
the day when every North Dakota
farm of more than 100 acres will sup
|port at least one tenant farmer, in
addition to the operator. The chief
drawback in North Dakota today,
from an agricultural standpoint, he
believes, is the scarcity of good, per.
manent labor or tenants. coupled
