FARM LABOR WILL BE
SCARCE THIS YEAR.
Haymakers Are Advised to Plan Care
fully, So That Fewer Men Can
Accomplish All the Work.

The hay crop. even when the labor
supply is normal, causes more worry,
anxiety md disappointment than any
other crop. The time for harvesting
is comparatively short. Other crops
require attention at the same time.
And the weather is to be. reckoned
with.
This year, when farm labor all over
the country is very scarce. the difficult
lies of haymaking will be much great
er. and larger quantities of hay will be
lost than usual-unless l~abor-Saving
methods are more generally employed.
A great deal of labor is wasted every
year during hay harvest, say special
lists of the L. =. Department of .Agri-
culture, not because of actual idlenesis
on the part of the workers. but because
labor is expended unnecessarily on op-
cratiOns that do not utilize it to the
hest advantage. If an old method can
Ice superseded by Il new one that will
enable the same number of men to ac-
cnnpliSh more work in the same length
of time, or fewer men to accomplish
the same work in the same length of
time, it will mean more hay saved,
more profit TO the farmer, and IL better
condition for the country.
Although there is n scarcity of man
labor, there are still plenty of horses
On most farms, and therein lies the so
luton of the problem, according to the
