CONSERVATION OF LABOR


 The activities of the bureau will in- clude the conservation of labor already on the farms by urging our farmers to render it permanent for the entire year by paying a wage more commensurate with the increased cost of living; by putting all tenant houses in good repair; by permitting help to keep a cow a hog, chickens and a garden, to so arrange by a system of crop rotation and diver sfication to keep all hands employed continuously throughout the year, and not simply for the crop season. They will advocate the restriction of crops so far as possible to the labor supply al ready existing; the more general use of labor-saving machinery, tractors, culti- vators, etc. the, increased use of barn yard and commercial fertilizers; the ab soute abandonment during the period of the war of the Saturday holiday or half holiday; the temporary release of older boys in the county schools during the crop season; the employment of Boy Scouts between the ages of 15 and 21 for farm service; the strict enforcement of all vagrancy laws, both in the city and country.
 Many of these suggestions have been followed in other communities where farm labor shortage exists and been found to- be an effective means of pre- venting any shortage in crop produc- tion.s
 The recent farm labor and crop survey made, at the suggestion of the farm ma nagement office of the department of agriculture shows that Jefferson county is short about 15 per cent Of its farm labor requirements. It will be the en- deavor of the farm labor bureau to meet this local need.

ARM HELP BUREAU
 ! IS ORGANIZED FOR AID 0F FARMERS
Bureau to Actively Coop crate With U. s. Employ ment Service Recently
 Established Here

To aid the farmers of Jefferson county to secure and retain sufficient help on their farms to keep them al maximum production throughout the year was the object of an important meeting yester- day, which culminated in the organiza- ton of the Jefferson county farm help bureau. The meeting was held in the private dining room of the Birmingham Clcic association at the noon hour, and the bureau immediately organized for active work in this county. It will be composed of Dr. N. R. Baker, county su- per1ntendent of education, as chairman: : iamlin l.. Brown, county demonstration agent as secretary; Hon. J. B. Vines. member of board of revenue; C. L. liar old, secretary manager Birmingham Civic association; T. P Hay, Jr, secretary food preparedness and marketing bureau, and Q. P. Ford. secretary Farmers
 union. Leslie Gilbert of Montgomery, farm help specialist in Alabama of the United States department of agriculture, was present and assisted in the organi- zation and suggested plans for work.
 The bureau will actively cooperate with the United States employment ser vice, which has recently opened offices in this city. in the more efficient. dis tribution of labor, and with the city employment office recently established by the city commissioners. It was felt that where there is such universal shortage in farm labor, it will be impossible to secure labor from adjacent states to shift into this section. For that reason, most of the activity of the bureau here will be to conserve and encourage the labor already available in this county, and secure better results therefrom.
