DO YOU NEED HELP?


Farm help is one item of prepared
ness. il 1t is, the intention of the U. ).
departments of agriculture and labor
to prevent any loss of, crops thru lack
of helpxE either now or at harvest
time. MiI that Is asked of farmers
is information as to how much help
they need and are going to need.
There is no surplus of labor any
where particularly, but with general
co-operation of all communities of
the nation the extra labor may be
shifted about from one point to an
other as a contractor shifts his men
to keep them doing the most good
lat all times. ~
These government departments
have undertaken to do the co-ordi-
mating OF the nations farm-help
forces. 1t is up to all farmers who
hire help to get into line and work
with the government. Notify almost
any federal official or organization.
The county agent, or officers OF the
farm bureau would be most easily
reached SO far as we OF Bingham
county are concerned. u y
A bulletin just out gives instruc-
tions as above, and begs that farmers
will use all local men available be-
fore asking outside aid, and warns
that one should not count upon q
laborer until that iaborer Is actually
hired. In other words, there will
be small show Of catching a man or
two from the regular floating supply.
