Farmers Committee Makes
Recommendation Of Wage
Scale For Labor on Farm

same should be referred to the Labor
Draft Board
In any of the above work, where a
man board himself the wages should
be adjusted between laborer and far
mer, and should not exceed 75c per
day in excess of the above scale
1t was also recommended that
where farmers hire cotton chopped
by the acre the price should range
from 75c to $3.50 per acre, depending
on conditions of the land and the cot
ton, and the difficulty in chopping.
1t was also recommended that both
the farmer wanting labor and the iazn
wanting work should let his wants be
known to the Labor Draft Board
through Mr. Ersland, at the Farm bu
reau office.
At this meeting there was a large
attendance of farmers and business
men. II was thought this scale OF
wages was highly important and that
any farmer who wilfully broke this
scale trying to take help away from
his neighbor, would be performing a
very unpatriotic act.

SIX POUND
RATION FOR
HARVESTERS
Food Administration Holds that Farmers
Be Allowed 10 Purchase Extra Flour
for Harvest Hands

That there shoald be no trouble In
farmers securing additional flour
with which to feed the harvest hands,
also that the harvest hands should
have no more lour aAewed than the
prescribed six pounds per month, is
the opinion of the state food admin
istrator expressed in letter recely-
ed today by c. Nj. Hollingsworth,
county food administrator In addi-
ton the letter deals with the order
that while an ice cream mGnufac-
turer is allowed 100 per cent pur-
chases of sugar, they must not use
this sugar for the manufacture OF
sherbets. The letter follows:
There should be no difficulty In
farmers obtaining flour for harvest
hands, on the same ratloning allow
ance as for other psrsons. When a
farmer employs extra harvest hands,
he should purchase flour for them ac-
cording to the length of time he will
feed them, on q basis of six pounds
per month per person. Every farmer
should purchase one pound for every
five days each harvest hand is to
work for him.
- number OF requests have come
to this office for additional flour for
harvest hands. AS long as the rest
OF the citizenship is on a six pound
flour allowance, and the soldiers are
eating Victory Bread" there is no
reason why harvest hands should be
given extra flour allowances, neither
should there be any difficulty in Sc
curing for them the six pound ra-
tion.
Under the sugar rationing plan,
ice cream is classed as an essential
food product and ice cream manufac-
turers are allowed 100 per cent su-
gar purchases, based on last years
consumption, but they will not be al
lowed this 100 per cent if they use
sugar for sherbet and water ices, as
The manufacture OF these two pro
Ducts Is considered a waste of su-
gar"
