FARM LABOR SITUATION.
Suggestions BY Agricultural College
On Making it More Effective.

In all part of Vermont there ap-
pears to be serious shortage of farm
help. The supply available to offset
this shortage seems to be v-ry limited.
To remedy this situation as much as
possible, the present labor supply on
farms must be used to the very best
advantage.
Most men on farms keep busy all
the while. The point is not in just
keeping busy, but in directing efforts
so that the most is accomplished. The
agricultural college Of the University
of Vermont through it's extension ser
vice suggests the following ways
whereby farm labor may be more eff
fective.
Plan Work Ahead.
Work should be planned far ahead
so that a $40 per month hired man
need not be idle after finishing one
piece of work. Again it should not
be necessary to stop and do on fair
days what might be done on rainy
days, as repairing machinery and har-
ness, cleaning and treating seed for
sowing, or sharpening tools.
