eral labor bureau is taking preliminary
steps to assist the Iowa farmer In
harvesting his grain this year. We'd
nesday letter was sent by the bureau
to all the county agents in the state

the fact that there is now available.
or will be when all the schools close.
a reserve of 5000 boys from IA to 16
years who can be called out to help on
the farm in emergencies resulting
| from labor shortage.
! The letter suSS ests that II is tho
patriotic duty of every farmer to use
as much OF this help this year as he
| can. for next year II Is anticipated
that the need OF help will be even
greater than this and hence these boys
should be given an opportunity to get
some experience this year which will
render them more valuable next sea-
son.
The work OF the state federal bureau
Is constantly increasing. During the
month Of May 5000 persons were
placed at work, which is LOO more
than in April. During the week end
ing June I, SIS workers had been
placed, tho this week was n day short,

pended on Memorial day.

in May were farm hands. TAe others
were n miscellaneous lot, the largest
number being common laborers. How
ever, the bureau aims to take care OF
workers In any line, and places are
found for office men and women
