FARMERS CALL FOR
HELP; NEED MEN TO
HARVEST BIG CROP
LA SALE COUNTY IN BAD NEED
F., OF FARM HANDS-OFFERS or
GOOD PAY FAIL TO MEET WITH
RESPONSES.

The farmers of La Sale county ac-
cording to agricultural Adviser Brooks
are in need of help to harvest their
crops, and unless it is obtainable with
in the mex, few days many of them
will have to work nights or oblige
their women folks to help with the
work in the fields.
Farmers have been Offering $500
per day for farm help during the har-
vest period. but have been unable to
get any acceptance. Many OF those
approached have replied that "Oh
that is only for a couple OF days and
we will not give up a steady JOb Tor
one that pays good price for only
a short time" Others approached
said, this Is the week OF the races
and we have job at the race track
and do not care to go into the coun-
try"
/
very rapidly under the intense heat
of the sun during the last few days,
and it will be necessary that it be cut
and harvested this week to save much
OF 1t from crinkling down and shelling
out
The farmers of La Sale county are
| already beginning to feel the secretly
of labor and it will be all the more
noticeable when the young men drawn
in the first draft are sent out OF the
country. 1t is feared that second
draft win mean that the old men and
women will have TO till the farms un
less farmers are exempted from ser
vice. This matter was presented tt
the State Council Of Defense. They
asked that the farmers be exempted
in order that the food supply could be
conserved and the standard maintain
ed. This plea was not made from any
lack of patriotism but was presented
in spirit of good faith upon the
theory that the continuance OF the
food supply was just as necessary &c
the army as new recruits.
It's upon the corn belt Of Illinois
that the nation depends for its food
supply. More food comes from The
corn belt section than any other sim
liar area in the entire world,
There is not much question bu
what the crops will be saved this
year, but it means working nights
and Sundays and very little time FOL
rest and amusement.
Agricultural Adviser Brooks has ap
plications for scores and scores o
men to work on the farm, But as ;
rule workmen would prefer to work il
the factory or under the stress of al
tifcial heat from furnaces than to la
, Dor in the sun. They claim that
person can be overcome by heat in
factory and suffer no i'll consequences
but one who is overcome by heat y
the harvest field never RECEIVERS. Man
of them will not take a chance in tn
harvest fields under the present hea
for any price.
