In our own country we have been

When We at retrospect over

FEDERAL AID FOR
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS

The farmers of North Dakota will
be given additional federal aid this
year in securing harvest help. A spe-
cial federal agent is now working in
cooperation with R. F. Flint of the
state department of labor at Bismarck.
This agent is in close touch with ag-
ents in other states to the east and
south, and as the harvest work is COM
pleted in those sections, will assist in
moving the labor from those sections
to places where they are needed in this
state.
The effectiveness of this work will
depend much upon the accuracy with
which the department is informed as
to the needs of each specific section.
Commercial and farmers clubs are
asked to help in this work. Careful
attention to these matters at once will
save much loss to communities by dis
tributing the labor where it is most
needed.
Application blanks will be furnished
upon request to the Department of
Labor at Bismarck, and when these
are returned the department will place
help as rapidly as possible.
