STATE farm LABOR
SITUATION ACUTE
Agriculturists Want Square
Deal alRcgardin9 MANI Power
Distribution
GOVERNMENT WILL
GIVE RELIEF

Considerable light was thrown on the
farm labor situation last Saturday at a
meeting Of the farm bureau labor COM
mitteemen OF New Castle county in the
old Federal Building here.
According TO these men the farm labor
shortage is very acute as there are no
extra mon TO be had IN the rural dis
tricts TO harvest the corn crop, which
is very large one this year. The acre
age OF winter wheat, Of course, depends
on getting the corn or the land quickly
so that tho ground can bo plOwed and
seeded to wheat. IL is quite likely that
/ the poor wheat yield this year may be
attributed, TO some extent, TO the lack
OF labor at corn harvest time a year
ago, Before the melting adjourned an
appeal for men was made to Federal
Director Benkhart Of the United States
Employment Service. Mr.. Benkhart
promised TO do everything that he
could TO obtain help for the farmers.
A similar meeting OF the farm bureau
labor committeeman was held In Kent
and Sussex counties. The object Of all
these meetings was TO get definite flg-
ures on the shortage Of farm workers
In all sections OF the State. These lg-
ures when completed will be presented
TO the district draft board, so that they
may not make heavy drafts OF men from
the farms. This work, somewhat tho
nature Of a survey. Is in line with a
plan OF the Secretary Of War, Secretary
Of Agriculture, and the Secretary Of
Labor. TO put into deferred classes ell
the men in the new draft who are neces-
sary in agriculture and industry. In
order to accomplish this, figures on the
actual shortage OF farm workers must
be obtained and presented TO the dis
trlct draft boards. The farm bureaus
have taken up this work throughout the
State by calling on the community labor
committeeman to furnish these reports
In every county the community COM
mltteemen responded by q full attend
ance at the meetings which were called
on Saturday. The spirit at these meet
lngs was well represented by the re-
marks OF William Anderson Of Sussex,
who said: Il think we all realize that
everyone Is short Of help, the ship
yards as well as the farms and all we
farmers want is a square deal We must
go over the top with the farms just
Ike we nave with the Liberty Loan and
the Red Cross drives"
The following Is a list OF the COM
munlty labor committeeman in New
Castle county who attended the meet
ing:
Horace Dennlson, Hockessin; r. J.
Yearsley, Hockessln: j. A. Buokson,
