better to suffer imprisonment under
the terms of the conscription act than

FARM MACHINERY HELP

Speaking Of the ways in which our
farmers may meet the difficult labor
conditions, one agriculturist says.
Farmers can do much to increase
their own efficiency. Larger, stronger
horses and more Of them on large i'm
plements and working in larger fields
free from all 0! structions will help. A
system of crops that calls for less pow
ing, and the use of stock for harvest
ing some crops will also help greatly.
The gang plow, double disk and
three-section harrow are all practical
and all enable one man to direct four
horses instead Of two to the two row
cultivator, the siXfoot mower, and the
12-hoe drill are practical as are also the
side delivery rake and hay loader, and
all greatly increase the efficiency of
man and team. Disking the oat ground
instead of plowing and sowing clover
with the oats will eliminate lot of
work

WANTS 1900, 900 FOR FARMS

Plans for supplying 1000, 600 workers
for the country's farmers this summer
has been announced by Secretary of
Labor Wilson Working with the Agri-
cultural Department, the Labor Depart
ment's employment service will comb
the country for men to till the soil. A
preliminary census has disclosed that
some two million men will be needed
Orders went from the Labor Depart
ment to 20 zone officers and 80 employ
ment stations scattered through the
country to begin preparations for find
ing the number of men. The first eff
forts are expected to million.
The vast army of farm workers to be
moblized will be assisted by great
army of workers, plans for whose mo-
bilization are completed by the Labor
Department.
1t is hoped, says the Labor Depart
ment announcement, that with the as
surance these arrangements give of
ample and steady supply of labor, the
farmers of the United States will large
ly expand their planting operations.
The Department of Agriculture will
find holes in the labor supply and the
Department of Labor will be free to ex
tend its fullest powers in locating work
ers to fill them. In this way we trust
that minimum of time and effort ex-
pended may be expected,
A farming survey of the Agriculture
Department will be made largely by
thousands of county agency and agri-
cultural demonstrators. Cooperation
will be given by state agricultural insti-
tutions, other state agencies, voluntary
associations and individual who are will
ing to help.
