Many Farm Laborers
Supplied by Agent

One deartment Of the work Of Coun-
ty Agent ". 4. buchanan that has
been of immediate benefit TO many
farmers of the county has been the
successful effort to supply farm help.
For a period Of several weeks the
county agents office has been placing
an average Of over five men day. one
day. at least as many as nine men
were furnished with jobs. In fact the
agents office has been about able to
supply the demand that was made on
it for help. altho at times the demand
exceeded the supply.
Experienced help, in some cases. has
been furnished within twenty-four
hours after the application was made,
and in some cases when the applicant
applied, if he had had experience, he
was placed on a farm within few
hours. The demand for help, of course.
has been mostly for men who nave
done farm work. and more difficulty
was found in, placing inexperienced
help and boys.
But a number Of the latter classes
were furnished with places. One father
in this city wanted his 16-year- old boy
to work on a farm during vacation
He could not find him place. but
within an hour or two after he had
applied to the county agent the boy
had job with a good farmer. The
boy had had no farm experience.
Mr.. Buchanans source CT supply
was the T.-R.. He advertised for help
both in the classified columns and
with display advertising on the market
page. Being unacquainteN with the
circulation Of the paper he was SUR
prised when scores Of men from sur.
rounding counties began answering the
advertisements. Inquiry was always
made to find out IL the applicant had
read the ads, which nost vi siien
had.
A follow-up system is employed IN
the county agents Office to ascertain
II the help supplied remained on the
job, and was satisfactory IN laree
majority Of cases the help has stuck.
This service is free for the farmers
of the county, but thru the advertising
done by the county agent farmers II
