Farm labor shortage in Maury coun-
ty is to be met by organized methods
of securing workman for both tenn
porary and emergency employment
A. j. Brandon, special farm agent fol-
Tennessee, Federal employment ser
vice. was ill~ conference today with
Judge w. B. Turner, chairman of the
county council of National defense
and U. S. employment reserve agent
for the purpose of making plans for
a definite census of farm labor needs
in this county. Mr.. Brandon is or
ganizing the counties of Tennessee
with the purpose Of recruiting farm
labor in those counties that have a
surplus and supplying farm labor to
those in which shortage exists.
Judge Turner has appointed the
following assistants in the various
districts of the county: First, E. N.
Woodland and r. G. Mullins, Santa
Fe; Second, NJ. e. Allen, Columbia;
Third, Percy Brown, Spring Hill and
G. f. Lumnsden, Match; Fourth,

Eighth, J. F. Porter, Williamsport and
Frank d. Fulton, Columbia; Ninth,
John M. Burns. Columbia; Tenth, j..
T. Akin, Hampshire, and DIR. M. A.
Beasley, Hampshire.
Active work will begin at once to
supply farmers with all necessary
labor both for permanent and special
work. The employment service will
undertake to direct back to the farms
the vast number of laborers who have
been drawn away by industrial en-
ployment and high wages in other
lines of work. The farmers will be
shown that it is necessary for them
to adjust their wage scales in keeping
with other industries, but at the same
time the laborers will be made to un-
derstand that while farm wages may
not be so high in actual money as
they can secure in other employment,
other considerations such as house
rent, supplies and better living condi-
tons are to be counted in the earn
ings Of laborer on a farm.
1t appears that for ordinary work
on the farms of Maury county there
is no damaking labor shortage, but
for the planting and harvesting sea-
sons there is a distinct shortage
which will cause heavy losses if not
promptly filled. Maury county farm
ers have pledged heavy increases in
wheat acreage this year, but it will
be difficult to fulfill these pledges
If more labor is not available.
Mr.. Brandon was formerly prin-
cipal of the Brandon Training School
at Shelbyville and is well known
the state. He retired
last year from his profession but was
called into the farm labor agency by
the government and is devoting his
entire time to that work. He stated
this morning that he believes the
employment service will
be able to meet the critical situation
and prevent any decrease in produc-
ton.

All this will soon be changed, how
