SECURING LABOR is
DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Maintenance of Steady Supply
Worries Stock Farmer.
He Is Compelled to Use Temporary
Help at Harvest Time Which, In
Many Cases, Is Unreliable and
Quite Expensive.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
One of the most serious phases OF
the farm labor problem Is the main
tenance of steady supply of labor
operations. In both Of these matters
the farmer who has little or no live
stock has a much more difficult prob
lem to solve than the one who main
tains the maximum amount of live
stock consistent with his farm opera
lions. For example, the farmer who
devotes his entire effort to grain pro-
duction or cotton production Is con-
fronted with keen demand for labor
at the most critical period In the crop
year. He has the rush during the
planting season, which shortly is fol
lowed by the tremendous demands OF
harvest. Between times, especially
during the winter, this demand Is not
so urgent and he is, therefore, COM
PEELED to use temporary help (espe-
cially at harvest time), which, in many
cases, is unreliable and expensive.
The farmer whose operations make
possible the distribution Of the maxi
mum amount of labor throughout the
year is In a much stronger position
from every standpoint than the one
who is compelled to call in large num-
bers Of temporary helpers at critical
times.
Live stock production is year
round proposition and therefore makes
possible such a distribution of labor.
Furthermore, live stock are interest
ing to nearly all human beings. There
is much more to interest the average
man In watching the growth OF the
young animals or the fattening of feed
ers, and much less drudgery even In
feeding operations, than there is in the
tilling of the soil and the cultivation
Of the crops. Beautiful as growing
crops unquestionably are, and neces-
sary as they are to the maintenance OF
live stock, the farm which only has
growing crops lacks for most people
the vital thing which is necessary to
make country life attractive.
Many farmers recognize the appeal
which animals have for the average
| man and cater to this in handling tneir
| employees. For example, there are
| cases where the farm owner gigs the
| laborer share in the animal produce
of the farm, such, for example, as ev'
cry tenth pig, which becomes the prop

The wise use Of cover crops will
conserve the fertility of the soil and
better Its physical condition In many
cases.
In purchasing commercial fertilizers
consider the cost of the crop to be
grown as well as the price of the fer
tilizer.
A good dog is like good son--he

Cars of fruit and vegetables are
often dumped at large market termi-
nails but persons who witness this pro-
ceeding should not conclude that this
practice is uneconomic or done to
keep up prices, according to men In
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. The whole
sale dealer is not in position to re-
sort and repack damaged produce and
often enough decay is present to rem
der the produce unstable in its orig
inal container or bulk shipment.
Sometimes hucksters do go over the
damaged cars and salvage a limited
amount of food. More often, however,
the labor cost of such salvage work is
greater than the value of the products
saved.
Losses May start on Farm.
There are many causes for loss OF
perishable foods between the farm
field and the market. Some of these
causes go back to the time crops are
harvested. Take potatoes, TOT instance,
which are injured in digging. Unless
these injured potatoes are sorted out
and not packed with the good pota-
toes, rot may develop in the shipment
and spread rapidly to other potatoes
especially If the temperature in the
car is favorable for rot to develop.
Another source of great loss in per
ishables is found In lack of care In
loading. The packages must be spaced
to permit air circulation and also
braced to prevent shifting Tempera.

Where there Is year-round require
