The Department of Agriculture
will represent the Federal authorities
in determining farm-labor needs and
in assisting in organizing all avail
able farm labor in the rural districts.
The Department of Labor will devote
it's attention to organizing labor in ur-
ban communities and industrial re-
gions, and will cooperate with the
labor forces where necessary by
obtaining extra labor from the popu-
lous centers.
The plan provides for strictly local

Community man." who, with the as
sistance of such committees as he
may appoint, canvasses his own neigh
bOrhood, finds out what farmers need
help and what men are available for
supplying the local need, and effects
such adjustments as can be made To-
cally. If, after all local adjustments
have been made, there remains either
a dificit or surplus of labor, he re-
ports to the County man." whose bust
ness it is to effect adjustments be-
tween the several communities in his
county. The county man in turn, re-

reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which, in close
cooperation with the United States
Department of Labor, is charged with
the distribution of mobile labor for
the country as a whole.
Thus each unit in the system acts
as a clearing house for it's own ter

by each community man whenever
changes in the local labor situation
make desirable further adjustments
that cannot be met with the material
at hand or when surplus of labor
develops which he cannot use.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL
IN THIS FERTILE SECTION

The greatest crop in the nations
history was predicted by E. J. Blanch
ard, chief statistician of the govern
ment's land reclamation bureau in
Chicago last Monday. Mr.. Blanchard
was on his way to Washington to
make his official report.
Mr.. Blanchard based his statement
On information gathered while tour
in the state of Colorado. In connec-
tion with this report we want to say
that Sedgwick county is going to do
her part in crop production, as there
never was time when conditions
looked more favorable for a bumper
crop in this section. Following up
the recent rains in this section, real
warm weather the past week or SO
has made the growing conditions ex
ceedingly good, and wheat, millet, bar
ley, rye, beans, alfalfa sugar beets,
etc., are fairly jumping out of the
ground as the result.
Land in this section has advanced
from $1,000 to $500 per acre and we
might rightfully term this section Il
veritable garden spot" Our farmers
are all jubilant over the bright pros
poets, which undoubtedly means adj
ded prosperity to all the citizens of
this entire community.
There seems to be no doubt but what
the farmers of this section are going
to be rewarded with bumper" crops
+his year for their labors and there is
a great activity prevalent along agri-
cultural lines as well as other indus
try.

to have committee in each communi-

Attendance Limited.

The maximum attendance at every train

War Department would prefer larger
attendance. but the serious shortage of
regular army officers makes it unwise
to attempt more at this time. 1t is be-

thorough instruction. than TO give a
much larger number inadequate in
