COST OF MAINTAINING HERD
Producer, Says Doctor McCamp-
bell of Kansas College.

A serious problem that confronts the
cattle producer is the cost of main
tanning a breeding herd, according to
DR.. G. W. McCampbeII, associate pro-
fessor of animal husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
With the judicious use of straw,
sflage and cottonseed meal the prob
lem becomes less perplexing. In
periods of normal prices, COWS at the
Kansas Agricultural Experiment sta
ton that were receiving silage and
cotton seed with other roughages such
as straw, and kaf1r butts, were main
tanned during the winter months at a
cost slightly less than four cents a
day and were in thrifty condition when
turned to pasture in the spring. Main
tanning a cow herd when properly
managed is profitable.

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
help committees which will be charged
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 la
Dor deficiencies from local supplies If
possible, or from the nearest point
where labor can be secured outside the
community in need of assistance. All
local sources of labor first viii 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-
partment OF agriculture and the depart
ment of labor, arrangements viii be
made for interstate movement Of help,
in which the department OF labor viii
cooperate in obtaining extra labor for
farm purposes from the populous COM
munitieS.
It 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 a member of the
community farm help committee. Il
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.

Club Boy Purchases Farm.

Willie Johnston, q 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 a 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 ike to enroll
in club work. Ask your county agent,
the state agricultural college, or the
United States department OF agricul-
ture to tell you how yOu can enlist "a
such service and make money.
In the fall OF 1915, when his father
died, Willie was left 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 was fourteen years old.
Early in 1915, W. 7. YoakUm, the coun-
~ agent, had enrolled him in the Corn
club, and that year he won a prize
at the county fair.

LABoR-sAVINe MACHINERY
TO CONSERVE MAN POWER.

One of the important meas
ures urged by the department Of
agriculture to help meet the Ia
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
at 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
rails 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 q 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.

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. It 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 q 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 regularlyS 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 di-
vided the country into four farm labor
