WHAT WILL FARMERS
Do FOR HELPERS
There Will Be a Scarcity Of
Farm Hands When Spring
Work Starts; Bumper
Crops Predicted

Farmers throughout this section
and all over the country, for that mat
ter never experienced more prosper
GUS times than at pesent, for the
are receiving the highest price for the
output of their farms than ever before
Yet farmers are worrying and yo;
can not blame them.
Spring is coming soon a time OF
year when the planting of crops will
start. Ground must be plowed in pre-
paration for planting crops. This year
a greater acreage of all kinds of crops
especially food crops are o be planted
in this section, for word has gone out
of Washington to every farming dis
trict in the country to plant more
food crops and not let a foot of ground
remain idle.
But here is the trouble and a CON-
Gition that is causing farmers no end
of worry--the question of labor. Farm
ers blame the big oil and gas operat
ing companies for this condition be-
cause they have lured farm hands
from farms by offering them fancy
wages but you can not blame these
big operating companies or oil men
generally They have a vast amount
OF work to do and they need laborers.
TO get men for various lines of work,
they were compelled to offer the larg-
est wages ever paid in the oil country
There is hardly man working in the
Gil fields for less than three dollars a
day. Can't you see why farm hands
desert the plow and fields, for forty
dollars month and board when they
can get three dollars or more day
for eight hours work? That is the
condition existing in the farming dis
tricts of this section of oklahoma
What are farmers going to do? The
state council of defense intends com
ing to the rescue. Labor is to be con-
scripted all over the country In
some sections there will be found a
surplus Of labor SO mea will be sent
from these sections to oklahoma an(
II
elsewhere where there is a demand
for labor II is going to be the great.
est year in the history Of tie agricul
tural districts OF this section Farm
ers are going to enjoy greater pros
perity this year than ever before
