PALESTINE, Texas. March 10
Since his return yesterday from Hous-

to figure some way to improve the
batting of his Brownies. In the two
games with Houston the st. Louis
stickers clouted at only .14O clip and
won only two out Of the four games
played with the south Texans.
Curve ball pitching had a lot to do

PROMISE OF PRO-
lection TO FARMERS

1t is announced that at the re-
quest OF the Food Administration
the Federal Trade Commission
will investigate alleged dishonest
methods of food dealers who ord
CIR perishables from distance and
if the price goes down before the
arrival OF the goods, reject the
goods as inferior in quality, thus
forcing the seller to take a reduc-
ed price or litigate.
Ii there is any foundation for
the common reports among farm
ers, dishonest practices of this
kind have been going on for the
last quarter OF century, and per-
haps longer. The direct result
Of such practices is to deprive the
producer of his legitimate return
for his crops. thus discouraging
production in the future and limit
ing ing him in farm operations by
denying him capital with which to
finance his business. The back
to the farm movement has had

the baker, the hardware man, the
school teacher, editor should not
do his bit" in the fields. Organi-
zation is all that is necessary. The
olunteer cannot go out into the
fields looking for work. He must
know just where he is to go, what
he is to do and how much he will
be aid The volunteer must be
brought in touch wit .hthe farmers
OF his community.
We do not pretend to advise
how such organization shall be
developed and perfected, but men
familiar with farming conditions
can organize volunteer labor in
such way as to increase vastly
the supply of workmen for the
farms at the right times.

LABOR FOR THE FARMS

When the government begins
to urge bigger crops than ever for
next year the farmer will consider
his experiences of this year and
become discouraged.
Some time ago we called atten-
ton TO the loss Of thousands Of
bushels of potatoes in Idaho. 1t
transpired that most Of these po-
tatoes were frozen on the ground
because there was not enough
labor at the right time to save
them. And yet we believe we are
not mistaken when we say that
vast quantities OF these potatoes
were only a few minutes away by
automobile from towns where pat
riotic men dWelt. II the citizens
of these towns had organized to
save the potatoes there would
have been a much smaller loss.
Instead the farmers were compel
led to depend upon whatever mi-
gratory labor they could induce
to work for them.
Next year the harvest season
will present similar difficulties.
The crops will be big, but the lab
or supply will be limited. The
patriotism OF the townspeople
then will be tested. Now is the
time for the towspeople to organ
ize. In every town, village and
hamlet the men who depend for
their prosperity upon the prosper
ity OF the farmers should begin to
devise ways and means OF making
the next harvest a success. W ork-
ing under the guidance OF the
state councils OF defense they
should prepare to provide labor
for the farmers.
