 Farm Volunteers the Vital Need.
 After two months of conversational upon the crop producing problem and attacks that have been driven home from every angle with millions of words of talk, there are thinkers in Danielson who are be- ginning to realize that talk isn't get ting them anywhere, that it doesn't help eliminate the serious difficulties that stand in the way of getting a section and that if anything is going to be done it must be done immedi- ately; otherwise the crops won't be any larger than they were last year in this section and prices will be ter -ibly high again next fall and winter.
 There are three all important aids that must be brought to the farmers if they are going to have the backing they should have in producing heavy fertilizer and farm help. The farmers are absolutely up against rock on the help question. They can't get men at the old prices and ant afford to pay the prices that are being asked by those who would what they are getting elsewhere.
