MORE FARM LABOR
HERE THAN In 1919
AVAILARLE SUPPLY IN MON
+ TANA is NOW So PER CENT
AGAINST 81 YEAR AGO
Over Whole Country the Shortage Is
More Acute, Percentage of Supply
of Farm Hands Being Only About
90 Per Cent of Demand; Bad as
During the War.

The available supply of hired farm
labor in Montana is but IS per cen
of the demand by the farmers of tn
state. Montana fares better thai
many of the states in the far west
ern group. None has more labor il
sight than needed. Utah has SO pc
cent of the needs, Nevada, SO PEE
cent; Wyoming and Idaho IS pc
cent; Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakot;
and most of the other states in the
west and the entire country are shor
{of farm labor. Montana is a little
better off than in 1919, when she
had but 81 per cent. In 1918 she
had 92 per cent.
These figures were gathered by
the department of agriculture, but
are not typical for the country be.
cause in the whole United States the
percentage of supply of hired farm
labor is only about So per cent of the
demand.
Much Below Demand
Most of the states are finding the
labor supply much below normal de-
mand. For the country it is 70 per
cent. Montana has but IA per cent.
of the normal demand.
The shortage is almost as bad as
it was when the armies were in the
field.
1.-THE present shortage" declared
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith,
"has arisen in spite of the fact that
farm wages are Is to 25 per cent
higher than last year. The situation,
unremedied, cannot fail to have an
unfavorble effect on production, and
will tend to prevent reduction in the
prices of farm products. While the
total acreage undoubtedly will be re-
duced as a result of the present sit
uation it will not be as large in pro-
portion as the reduction in the labor
supply, because the farmers, with
their families, are exerting them
selves to the utmost to overcome the
handicap of labor shortage.
Urges City Men to Help
Cultivation this year will be less
intensive than formerly. More land
will be put into grass and such other
and the titled fields will be less in
tensively cultivated"
Mr.. Meredith is urging business
men ana students TO spend their
holidays this summer helping relieve
the labor shortage and high living
costs.
The department of agriculture is
arrangements to get such
men as are available into the grain
fields. Persons who can go to the
farms are asked to write the direc-
tors of agricultural extension att the
agricultural colleges in the various
states who are prepared to supply
farmers in their counties who need
arm labor

ROUND BARNS SAID
TO BE CHEAPEST
COST LESS TO CONSTRUCT AND
HAVE SILO IN CENTER TO
SIMPLIFY FEEDING
These Barns Are Simple and Easily
Put Together; Stock That Is Kept
in Round Barns Can be Cared for
With Small Amount of Labor,
Which Counts Today.

Round barns are less expensive to
construct than rectangular ones OF
the same area.
In this day and age when the cost
of building materials has gone sky
ward the merits of the round barn
farmers who are compelled to build
barns in the near future are planning
to construct circular ones.
A popular size for round barns is
so feet in diameter. The building
material, which has been found to
be the most satisfactory, is hollow
clay tile. The height of the walls
up to the caves is 20 feet These
clay tiles, which have dead air cham
bers in them, make an exceptionally
warm barn in winter and a cool one
in summer.
A farmer, who has a round barn
of this size has built stalls in it for
seven horses and Is dairy cows, and
says the arrangement of stalls for
this number of animals is satisfac-
tory. Bins are constructed between
the space allotted to the cattle and
the stalls in which the horses stand.
The entire upstairs is used for stor-
age of hay and forage.
A feature of this barn is that a
siIo is constructed in the center. The
building is like a si1o with a barn
built around it. 1t is handy to get
this silage into the feeding trough.
Feeding stock on cold day has no
terrors for this man. The conven-
fence of this barn is it's outstanding
feature.
These barns are simple and easy to
put together and will always be safe
and solid. Stock that is kept in a :
round barn can be cared for with a
minimum amount of labor.

To Test Irrigation Plants

. Following the irrigation and drain.
age institute held here the first OF
the year, the agricultural college has
received numerous requests from per-
sons and associations who wish to
have demonstration and experimental
work in irrigation carried on this
year.
Professor H. e. Murdoch, agricul-
tural engineer, announces that ex-
periments have been started on the
Waller project on duty of water.
These experiments are carried on I'M
der Professor Murdock's supervision
on land furnished by people on the
Waller project. Lack of funds pro-
hibits the college from carrying on
other general experiments and dem
onstrations of the kind, Professor
Murdoch says.

Jumps caused by pressure may cas-
lily be pulverized and the material
is just as good as amy other. Lumps
in the bag caused by setting should
be thrown away as they have no value
as cement.
Concrete construction of ordinary
farm buildings, fence posts, walks
and such require no special skill and
may be done by any farmer who will
follow the few simple rules in con-
crete work.

HOW TO MIX CONCRETE:'
ECONOMY AND STRENGTH

1t is common mistaken idea that
fine sand Is much better than the
coarser sand, but tests made by gov
eminent experts have proven that an
exceedingly fine sand requires seven
times the amount of cement that a
coarse sand does to give the same
strength to the concrete. Coarse sand
is considered of sufficient size to be
retained ON a screen with 20 meshes
to the linear inch. 1t is often more
economical to screen out the fine
sand where a large amount is present
and use only the coarser sand because
of the saving in cement. Sand of a
uniform size does not give a good
strength to the concrete as does a
sand varying in size and shape. 1t is
also essential that the gravel be
coarse, clean and not uniform in size
or shape. The gravel makes more
than half of the total bulk of the
concrete.
One of the first problems in plan
ming any concrete construction is the
quantity of each material necessary.
The quantity may be estimated as
follows: suppose $50 cubic feet of
cement is needed. A mixture of 1924,
that is, one part cement, two parts
sand and four parts gravel by vol
ume is used, requiring two bags of
cement and making a total Of IL
cubic feet of concrete. 1t will re-
qufre just 100 times as much of each.
material as in two bag cement mix
ture, or 200 bags of cement, 375 GU
bic feet of sand, and $50 cubic feet
of gravel to make $50 cubic feet of
concrete. Calculations may be made
for any size structure on this same
basis.
The use of concrete should not be
delayed too long after mixing for
Portland cement begins to set in 20
to 80 minutes after mixing and
should be placed In position before
the end Of this time.
Cement work should not be done
when the sunshine is very hot or
when there Is danger OF freezing be-
fore the concrete Is firmly set. II
too hot the concrete may dry out be-
fore 1t has had time to set and II |

ling.

Take sample 10x15 garden
which proved very satisfactory to its
owner,
The rows should run north and
south where possible. Rows 1, 2, 8,
and 4 were planted to spinach soon
as the ground was workable. The
first two rows were planted a week
earlier than the second two. They
were a foot apart. Midway between
the rows of spinach, onion sets were
tucked in. After onions and spin
ach were gone, two rows of tomatoes
were put in, six plants to a row and
the rows two feet apart. Between
them string beans were put in. The
tomatoes were grown to single
stem and staked.
Four double rows of peas made up

string beans were put in six inches
apart in the rows and the rows one
foot apart.
Row was planted to beets, thin
ned for greens and then eaten as the
roots attained edible size. They were
followed by winter radish. One foot
away came row 10, planted to car
rots. Cos lettuce was grown between
the rows and out of the way before
there was any serious interference.
The last row was given to head
lettuce and this was followed by Gu
cum bers trained on a chicken wire
support Late string beans might
be substituted.
Small, thickIy planted gardens
should be heavily fortified.

Small gardens are the principal
factor In combating high prices of

to yield its cut in the cost of living.
The majority of small gardens

with many only 10x10.
