the work Of the departments farm
labor work in single states or two or
more adjoining states. These farm
help specialists will cooperate directly
with state agencies, central and local
employment agencies Of the United
States department of labor, and with
the county agents and community farm
directly with meeting labor needs In
their special localities.
The farm help specialists through
preliminary labor surveys will en-
deavor to ascertain In advance the
prospective needs for extra labor in
each community. They will work with
state and local agencies to supply Ia
Dor deficiencies from local supplies IL
possible, or from the nearest point
where labor can be secured outside the
community In need Of assistance. All
local sources of labor first will be
drawn upon and only when the fullest
possible utilization of local labor
proves inadequate, will labor be
brought in from outside. In cases
of necessity, however, through the de-
pnrtment of agriculture and the depart
ment of labor, arrangements WILDE
made for Interstate movement Of help,
In which the department Of labor will
cooperate in obtaining extra labor for
farm purposes from the populous COM
munities.
1t is pointed out that the farmer in
need Of labor should proceed as fol-
lows: He should report his need to
his county agent or to member OF the
community farm help committee. II
possible, his need will be supplied from
lists of men available In the county.
If local labor is inadequate, the coun-
ty agent or committee will report to
the state farm labor specialist, who,
In cooperation with the state officials,
will draw on the nearest available Ia
Dor within the state.

RIGHT USES FOR SKIM MILK
None Should De Wasted as II Fur

to Human Beings.

All skim milk should be used-none
wasted. 1t should furnish the maxi

to animals and converted into meat.
Surplus skim milk, of course, may be
used economically to feed hogs, yet
100 pounds of it, which will produce
Is pounds Of cheese, produce only
4.S pounds Of dressed pork If fed with
corn. Skim milk, If made into cottage
cheese, furnishes nearly seven times
as much protein and nearly as much
energy as the dressed pork 1t would
produce. OF course the most nourish.
ment is obtained when skim milk is
used direct, either for drinking or
cooking. AS far as possible, therefore,
skim milk should be used for human
food and only the excess fed to live
stock.

ORGANIC MATTER AIDS SOIL
Humus Formed When II Decays Helps
Hold Available Food Till tho
Plant Can Use II.

Organic matter serves many pur-
poses In the soil. In decaying 1t helps
make plantfood in the soil available
as well as that In the organic matter.
The humus formed when it decays
helps hold the available plantfood till
the plant can use 1t. The organic mat
ter makes the soil more friable and
less likely to puddle and cake into
hard Jumps. 1t also reduced erosion.
The organic matter plays most i'm
portant part in the soil and as it de-
Gays 1t needs to be added quite often.
The best form in which to add 1t is as
manure, and the land should every few
years be put into some crops as grass
es or legumes which also add organic
matter.

Club Boy Purchases Farm.

Willie Johnston, member OF sew
eral of the boys agricultural clubs In
Coal county, Oklahoma, has made
enough money for his mother, since
his fathers death, to buy farm. At
the same time he has been helping
other boys Of his neighborhood to grow
better crops. Maybe there Is a les
son in Willie Johnston's experience
for other boys-whether on the farm
or In town-who would like to enroll
In club work. Ask your county agent,
the state agricultural college, or the
United States department Of ngricul-
ture to tell you how ,vu can enlist In
such service and make money.
In the fall of 1915, when his father
died, Willie was loft to support his
mother and five younger sisters. The
family was farming rented land and
had no money with which to buy a
home. Willie WINS fourteen years old.
Early in 1915, w. T. Yonkum. the coun-
ty agent, had enrolled him In the Corn
club. and that year he won q prize
at the county f,ir.

SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Subject Which Agricultural Depart.
ment Has Given More Thought to
Than Any Other, According
to Secretary Houston.

The farm labor problem has pre-
scented and continues to present many
difficulties, Secretary Houston said the
other day. 1t Is one Of the two or three
subjects to which the department has
given more thought than to any 9TH
ers, he said, not only since this coun-
try entered the war, but for many
months prior to that time. There has
been before the farmers the question
of retaining a sufficient number Of
year-round skilled laborers and also
of meeting the urgent needs at the
planting and harvesting periods. Farm
ers in the neighborhood Of cities.
where there has been great redirection
of labor and capital, and also where
the environments and other special en-
terprises have been under way, have
been greatly embarrassed, Secretary
Houston said.
Labor Survey First.
Constructive effort, according TO the
secretary, is needed along several
lines, which may be briefly stated as
follows: A systematic survey of the
farm labor situation to ascertain the
possible needs of farmers and to deter
mine ways of meeting them, the pro-
motion Of fuller cooperation in the
utilization of labor among farmers In
the same community, the further de-
velopment of machinery for assisting
in the transfer of labor, making avail
able labor which heretofore has not
been fully or regularly utilized, the
releasing Of men for agricultural pur-
poses as far as possible by replacing
them with women, the largest possible
production and the fullest use of farm
labor-saving machinery.
To cooperate effectively In the farm
labor problem with the United States
department Of labor, state councils
Of defense, state commissioners of ag-
riculture and labor, and other official
state and local agencies concerned
with supplying needed farm labor, the
department Of agriculture has d.
vided the country into four farm labor

EXPERTS TO AID
WOOD INSTEAD OF
COAL" MOVEMENT.

Ten experts of the forest serv-
ice, United States department
Of agriculture, have been assign
ed to cooperate with the
fuel administration to relieve
the fuel shortage In the eastern
states. They will give their ut
tention to ways Of increasing
the use of firewood, In order to
lessen the demand for coal.
They wilr demonstrate to farm
ers and other woodland owners
methods of cutting by which
firewood can BIO obtained with
the best results to the timber
growth. Plans for securing and
distributing firewood will be
worked out. 1t Is hoped to es-
tablish municipal wood yards at
various places and to decide
upon satisfactory methods for
utilizing waste from sawmiIls
and other woodworking plants.
A special appeal will be made
through directors Of extension
work in the various states to the
farmers to cut wood this winter
while other work n slack.

LABoR-sAvING MACHINERY
TO CONSERVE MAN POWER.

One Of the important meas
ures urged by the department of
agriculture to help meet the la
Dor needs this year Is the largest
possible production and fullest
. use. Of farm labor-saving ma
chinery. The department has
actively interested itself In Sc
curing priority for raw mate
rails used In the manufacture of
farm implements and also in Sc
curing favorable consideration
ut the hands of transportation
committees to provide facilities
for moving the materials to the
manufacturers, and the COM
pleted products from the manu-
facturers to the distributors and
also to the farmers. Both those
dealing with priorities Of mate
rlals and those dealing with pri-
critics Of transportation have
evinced a complete willingness
to assist. This is indicated by
the fact that the priorities COM
mittee Of the war industries
board gave raw materials need
ed for farm implements a posi-
ton Of preference over all ar
ticles except those urgently re-
quired for military and naval
purposes, and that the trans
portation committee took steps
to secure the prompt movement
Of the raw materials and Of the
manufactured articles.

PRACTICAL SMALL BARN PLAN

This barn is very practical for the
man with small place, and is very

work horses. There Is ample storage
for hay and grain and things are ar
ranged so as to be handy for the work

A good way to build it would be to
run the concrete foundation walls up

WHY MANY SOILS
ARE ALWAYS COLD

1t Is claimed that FIVE times
as much heat is required to
evaporate water from the sur
face Of soil as would be need
ed to raise the temperature of
the same amount Of water from
the freezing to the boiling point.
This explains why wet and poor
ly drained soils are cold. Tile
drainage removes the excess Of
water. Then the heat Of the sun
Is able to make some Roadway
In warming the soil. But IL the
soil is constantly saturated with
water the constant evaporation
keeps the temperature down In
spite of the suns warmth.
