ASKS SCHOOL YOUTHS
TO WORK ON FARMS

To relieve the farm labor situation as
far as possible by urging schoolboys
and business men of Memphis to spend
their vacations in helping to cultivate
and harvest crops on different farms
and plantations, DR.. Il. r, Lloyd, direc-
tor Of the farm development bureau
Memphis Chamber Of Commerce, has
received a letter from e. T. Meredith,
secretary of agriculture, who requests
that every effort be made to obtain
the much-needed help. Mr.. Meredith
stated that the whole country is facing
what is likely to be a crisis in food
labor which can end in no other way
than actual want and famine unless
farmers of the country are aided to a
certain extent
In 1918 the supply of hired labor was
approximately 72 per cent less than
normal and according to reports from
the United States department of agri-
culture the situation is about the same
this year.
Mr.. Meredith expressed the belief that
business men and sohoolboys, after re-
alizing the seriousness of the situation.
will respond TO the call as was charac-
teristic of them during the war, The
farmers and their families are doing
their utmost to keep up production but
as it is now practically impossible for
the food crop will be greatly reduced
Should the meR~who spend their Vaca
tions during the summer at seaside
and mountain resorts, volunteer to help
their country in this manner, the far
mers will then be able to plant a nor
NAL crop.

az ". &. PINE.

I Contractors, dealers in builders sup
Plies and realN estate men are going
through one pf the quietest periods
they have ever known.
This Is in large measure due to the
difficulty in obtaining money" said
ID. D. Thomas, local contractor. Both
banks and building loan companies have
made it so hard to obtain money TO
build with, that the man in medium
circumstances can not build now. And
the man with money is not in a much
better fix, as materials are absolutely
not on the market. Cement is not TO
be had. Tile, slate. tar, asphalt shin
giles, steel. All are beyond their reach
of even large industrial companies,
who desire to own their own home"
The shortage in cement is due TO
the fact that labor is not producing as
it should, according TO Mr. Thomas
Thomas Cook, of the firm Of Thomas
81, 4 Co.. dealers in. building ma,
pound of coal to produce one pound Of
cement, and the shortage of coal is d.
rectly responsible for the cement short
tage. He sees no relief for a year or
more. Mr., Thomas holds this view as
regards cement, saying that the one
factor which will do more toward keep
ing cement scarce is the agitation for
better roads in all parts of the coun-
try. He says that cement plays the
largest part In road building.
steel lS nigh and scarce because
so much of 1t must be sent to Europe,
to aid in reconstruction of that conti-
mont" Mr. Thomas says. III they
could pay cash for it, things would not
be so bad, but they have no money
and are forced to"b buy on credit. or
course, It is up to this country to
help the broken nations, but 1t will
keep steel up for long time. With
the exception of steel and cement,
look for a slump in building materials
within the next so or 90 days
Contractors are not taking any more
contracts. They are forced in self-de-
Tense to promise the work at market
prices, and they can do no better than
that. Naturally, with prices OF every
thing going CONSTANTLY up, the builder
does not want such indefinite terms.
and decides to wait till conditions are
normal to build. This will bring prices
in the building line down sooner than
most people expect, always with the
two exceptions l have mentioned. As
for the, lumber market, it is not nearly
as high in proportion TO other ma
terials This may be due to the fact
that it is being used less and less for
residences, 1t Is not being used at
all now for building large business
houses. To sum matters up, think the
country will see a substantial decrease
soon in the price OF building materials,
excepting cement and steel" -
