Industrial Centres
May Furnish Labor
For Food Production

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The United
States Employment Service will rely
upon each locality, so far as possi-
he, to supply the labor needed for
inducing the nations food crops this
simmer. If more helpers are required
il any locality they will be obtained
fsom the surplus of workers in in
dnstrial centres. In the mobilization
and distribution Of both classes of labor
the farmers will have the fullest CO.
operation of the service without ex-
pense to themselves.
Preparations for sending special
agents into North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, the first states making urgent
appeals for assistance in recruiting
darn workers. we're announced to-day
by A. l. Barkman, chief of the farm
service division.
: The service also will aid in supply
Ing labor for the sugar beet district in
Colorado and the cotton section in
the Imperial Valley of California,
where growers report shortage Of men.
Many Mexcans, formerly employed for
such work, have returned to their
native land because of misunderstand-
lngs regarding the draft law.
Increased requests for men are ex-
pected from the East and New England
as the season progresses. The Central
West apparently is better off for farm
workers than other sections. due to
the smaller number of factories.
Surplus of workers in the East is at
trbuted to the fact that many thou
sands of men unskilled in industrial
work attracted to factory centres have
been unable to find jobs. Many came
from the farms and now seek to re-
turn.
Higher wages than ever paid before
ior farm labor are expected to be a
fruitful aid in the back to the farm"
