Farm Labor Avaiable-Some time ago
a census was taken through the schools
TO obtain the names OF farmers who
wanted help for the summer. This list
is at present in the Office of the county
agent, but | find that many of the men
whose names arc on that list have OBJ
tanned help by this time and | wish to
enlist your cooperation in utilizing To
advantage all of the help that becomes
available. Last year the farm bureau
furnished about 90 farmers with help, in
GLIDING many school boys.
AT the present time, | have list of
boys who want work on farms. These
boys are of different ages, varying from
Ia TO 10 years. They are available for
immediate use. They are willing to try
out for one or two weeks at SOC to 81
per day, depending upon their size and
experience. If you want to try one of
these boys, send in your application at
once and we will try to get you the help.
These boys are all anxious to do what
they can to produce food TO kill the kas-
er and / recommend that you give one
of them a trial if you need help.
Another source of help that will be
available soon is that to be furnished
from the Lyndon school, where about
loo high school boys are taking course
in practical farming that should fit them
to be of substantial value to you. These
boys will be given two weeks trial with

your own trade with them after that
Let us plan to make use of this help

boys cannot take the place of good
man, but there are many farms that can
we'll afford to use them to increase pro-
iuction for this season, besides giving
the boys chance to prove their patriot
SIN.
We also have applications for places
IN farms from experienced men who are
,ut of job for one reason or another.
Let us hear from you who want help
