SAYS COUNTY AGENT
SOLVES FARM LABOR
Norfolk Commercial Club Re-
CARDS Him as Link Be-
tween Field and
Worker.

The Norfolk (Neb.) Commercial
club thinks it has solved the jarl la
Dor problem, so far as Madison coun-
ty is concerned, according to S. Fl.
McCiary, secretary Of the club, who is
in Omaha to explain the Norfolk plan
to the State Conservation congress.
Madison county supports county
agent, who is in close touch with the
farmers and their labor wants. The
county agent lists the labor needs OF
the farmers and turns the list 20 the
Commercial club. The Commercial
club, III turn, lists all transient and
resident labor in the town In this
way the farmer and laborcrs are
brought together. The Commercial
club of Norfolk is supplying laborers
to many farmers in Madison county.
"We anticipate no labor shortage in
Madison county until harvest" said
Secretary McClary. THE farmers re-
alize the labor situation and are max
ing their plans accordingly
Each merchant and clerk in Norfolk
has volunteered to give two days work
each week during harvest. The names
and ability Of these men have been
listed with the Commercial club.
When a farmer phones the CONNER
cial club that he wants two farm hands
the club sends FIVE merchants or
clerks.
The plan considers that FIVE mer-
chants and clerks are equal to two
farm hands. OF these five persons
one at least is retired farmer. In
this way the farmer loses no time in.
strueting the men from town as to
how to do the work. The FIVE mer
operate in a crew under the direction
OF the retired farmer.
Forty men in Norfolk have volun.
teered the use OF their autos to take
these town laborers to the farm. They
are notified by the club and take the
men to work, returning for them If
the evening. The city clerks are pait
at regular rates.
I'VE do not expect to serve all o
Madison county in this way" said Mr.
McClary. 1--WE are operating within
a ten-mile radius of town" ..
The plan is to be presented to the
committee on labor problems of The
state conference for discussion.

Head of Farm Congress Says High
School Boys Are Needed On Farms

Omaha High school boys, after all,
are to have their inning on Nebraska
farms. Contrary to the statement
made last week that high school boys
were not wanted on the farms this
year because their muscles we're soft,
they are badly needed and will be the
salvation Of the farmers, according to
o. G. Smith Of Kearney.
Mr.. Smith is president Of the Ne
braska Farmers congress and is
chairman Of the executive committee
of the big conservation congress
which opens at the Auditorium this
evening. He is also a member OF
the policy committee. which is in
control OF the big meeting.
ut was an awful mistake to say
that high school boys cannot be used
on the FARMS" said Mr.. Smith. THE
boys will prove the salvation Of the
corn crop. Farmers do not want boys

they do want those who will come

by the way, there has never been
time in Nebraska when the soil was
in better condition than now nor
when corn prospects were so good.

Exhibits at Food Congress
Teach Practical Lessons On
Nations War Crisis Needs

hibit. 1t is in charge OF a woman
who knows her business. She will
teach you what foods to purchase and
what are expensive, regardless Of the
prices you pay. And she will tell
you about some cloverseed that is so
badly adulterated that while the
farmer thinks he Is paying Sl7.50 a
bushel. he is really paying $54.
There's lot OF canned goods that
have gone to the bad. She will tell
you how it was done and why it
spoiled"
Heres an exhibit OF packing house
products. It's not all advertisement
of the particular packer that furnished
the goods. It's an educational exhibit.
Here's the dairy exhibit. Do you
know that three fourths OF the milk
is thrown away? And the milk men
are getting ready to raise the prices
again. They feed good corn and good
alfalfa hay to their cattle and then
throw away more than half of the
products.
"One OF the questions. this country
will have to meet is the shortage in
the milk supply. This little exhibit
will teach you how every drop Of the
milk, including the water, can be put
to use. Study it and you can sell milk
whole lot cheaper and make whole
lot more money than you can under
the present wasteful system.
"And here's the cooperative en-
ployment bureaus booth. It's mix
ture of federal, state, county and city
affairs. N takes orders from farmers
for help and it finds jobs for those
who want to go to the farms. But
when you attempt to register for a
Job you've got to show that you are
really competent. You can't get job
as a milknian unless you can really
milk COW. No suffers can get by.

sity corn bulletins. 1t shows how the
information for the bulletins is gath

who will make use Of them.
