vest and work of t~hreshing Is all
over-that l don't know what we
would have done without a county

Since the advent Of the latest wheat

All Of this surplus had left the

practicing the utmost economy at

Sioux City, Dec. 2.-The hogs on
sale again were made up of a very
good quality, but discrimination con-
tinued to be shown against the light
kinds. Shipping demand again was
dull, the packers buying practically
the entire lot.
The week vas featured by increas-

in the level of prices. However, the
strength of today sends the price
level for the close of the week to
within 10 q 15c of the opening. The
market today was in general quoted
higher at the opening and
easier at the close. Top hogs sold
at $17.45, and the bulk of sales was
made at $500 @17.30.

FARM BUREAUS HELP
SECURE FARM LABOR

During the year South Dakota
farm bureaus placed 1852 laborers
on farms. This was accomplished by
definite plans made by the farm bur-
eaus whereby the county agents were
made responsible for getting local
labor organizations built up in the
counties with a labor agent in each
community, who obtained and dis
tributed farm help from employment
offices at Huron, Sioux Falls. Aber-
deem, Redfeld. Mitchell and Rapid
City. In communities where tran
sient harvest labor could not be Sc
cured, the bureau organized shock
troops consisting Of local t~ownspeople
who went to the fields in systematic
squads.
Among the recommendations made
by a number of farm bureaus relative
to labor problems of 1919. the fol-
lowing are of interest: That a COM
plete registration be taken of all
males between 16 and 65 years and
classified by the War Labor board;
that all labor be distributed thru the
United States employment service by
the use OF clearance cards for all
laborers; that free transportation be
given to laborers on the presentation
OF such clearance cards, and that
these arrangements be put into eff
feet as soon as possible to insure
maximum food production in 1919.
