MORE FARM LABOR
THAN IN 1919
AVAILABLE 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 cent
of the demand by the farmers of the
state. Montana fares better than
many of the states in the far west
ern group. None has more labor in
sight than needed. Utah has SO per
cent of the needs, Nevada, sc per
cent; Wyoming and Idaho IS per
cent; Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota
and most of the other states in the
west and the entire country are short
of farm labor. Montana is a little
better off than in 1919, when she
had but 81 per cent. In 1918 she
had go 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 cen 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.
"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
u~nfavorble 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
"Cuitivation this year will be less
intensive than formerly. More land
will be put into grass and such other
crops as require a minimum of labor
and the titled fields will be less in
tensively cultivated"

the labor shortage and high living

The department of agriculture is
making 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 at the
agricultural colleges in the various
states who are prepared to supply
names of county agents with
farmers in their counties who need
labor.

HOW TO MIX CONCRETE;l
ECONOMY AND STRENGTH

1t is a 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 sever
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 8 IL
cubic feet of concrete. 1t will re-
quire just 100 times as much of each
material as in a 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. If
too hot the concrete may dry out be-
fore it has had time to set and if
frozen may expand and crumb-
ling.
Cement readily takes up moisture
so it should always be stored in a
dry place. When the cement takes
up moisture 1t sets in the bag, and,
as it sets but once, the Jumps formed
in setting are worthless. However,
do not mistake Jumps formed from
pressure with those which have been
