GOVERNMENT is TO HELP
GET men FOR HARVESTING
Federal Agents to Cooperate With
State officials in the Securing
Help to Handle Crop

The farmers of North Dakota will
be given additional federal aid this
year in securing help for the harvest
and threshing field. A special feder-
al agent is now working in co-opera-
tion with Hon. r. F. Flint, the state
commissioner of agriculture and labor
at Bismarck. This agent is in close
touch with federal agents in other
states to the east and south, and as
the harvest work is completed in
those sections will assist in moving
the labor from those sections to places
where they may be needed in this
state. The effectiveness of this work
will depend much upon the accuracy
with which this department is inform.
ed as to the needs of each specific
section of the state. Commercial and
farmers clubs are asked to help in
this work. Careful attention to these
matters will save much loss to COM
munities by distributing the labor
where it is most needed. Application
blanks will be furnished by the de-
partment of agriculture and labor at
Bismarck, N. D., and when these are
returned to the department will aid in
placing help were most needed as
rapidly as possible.

three large carload tanks from the
Langdon warehouse during that time,
the amount aggregating 1000 gall
