 will be necessary to do to help the farmers to produce more crops. After this data has been obtained it will be easy to learn with reasonable accuracy just the number of laborers that will be needed The reports will show how much money will be required to finance the crop, what the acreage is of differ ent crops and what the probable acre. age of summer crops will be. It will be
 possible to ascertain the amount of seed which will be required.
 As soon as the needs of the farmers are known steps will at once be taken to supply those needs. It will be easier
 for a farmer to borrow money this year
 than ever before. With the embargo on Mexican laborers off it will be easier to get laborers in from that sec
 tion than it appeared a short time ago
 that it would be, but before any con-
 siderable attempts are made to bring
 in laborers, it is absolutely essential that the number of laborers already
 here be known as we'll as the number that will be required to produce max mum crop.
 Local leaders have been selected in each of the A districts which are com
 munity centers, and through these leaders the farmers of the district will be notified, and in addition letters are being mailed to every farmer in the valley asking him to attend the meeting nearest to him. The arrangements have been largely worked out by the county agent, w. A. Barr, and to each of these meetings some one will go as a delegate of the county agent to tab
 ulate the data required. The districts with the local leaders and the speakers
