FOOD SUPPLY WILL BE
CUT BY LABOR SHORTAGE

New York May lS Serious shortage Of
food next Fall and even higher prices
than those which now prevail are in pros
jpect as a result of the nation wide short
Rge of farm labor Farmers are so handi-
capped by lack of help and the backward
season that acreage devoted to staple
crops. such as wheat, corn. oats, rye and
potatoes has been heavily reduced in ev-
cry section of the country Reports to
the Standard Daily Trade Service, which
has made n national survey of the stu
alton, indicate that the labor shortage
will probably become even more critical
as harvest time approaches.
Everywhere blowing and planting are
far behind schedule. In some districts. it
IL asserted, reports indicate that not more
than 50 per cent of the blowing and plant
ing usually finished at this time of the
year has been done.
EARN production in New York state"
the Trade Service asserts. will be from
IL to Is per cent below last years output
mainly because of the lack of help. In
| Pennsylvania 81 per cent OF the farms are
unable to secure an adequate supply of
workers and the prospects are for an even
more severe shortage during the crop
garnering period The State secretary of
jagriculture says the food supply probably
will be seriously affected. In New Eng
| land the farm labor supply is from 81 to
A. per cent below normal and - per cent
reduction In the acreage devoted TO gen.
eral farm crops is the result The reduc-
ton in market garden acreage is even
more serious, being estimated at nor less
than 50 per cent.
| I'm the federal reserve district of
| which Cleveland is the center the sit
uation is serious that a bitter
| struggle is going on between the
farming and industrial organizations
for the labor supply. Manufacturers
have combed the farms of the district
| for workers. so that farm agents say
| one will not find half a dozen young
men on the farms in full days travel
Now the farming organizations are
sending recruiting agents directly into
automobile plants and other factories
in a desperate attempt to win back
some of their hands.
"The shortage is described as alarm
ing in the Chicago district and heavy
reduction is acreage is reported. SINH
lar conditions are reported from st
Louis. For steady help farmers are
offering good wages and such attrac-
tons as short hours house garden
pasture for horse and a COW, 500
pounds of pork and part Of the fruit
| crop.
'In the Northwest many farmer:
are abandoning or greatly reducing
their usual crops and are planting hay
and other things which can be handled
with a minimum amount of labor
THE Mississippi Valley is short al
least 100000 men and grave fears OF
the prospect during the harvesting
period are entertained. Tho situation
in the South is generally the same az
that existing in most other localities
On the Pacific coast, however, the
shortage of labor apparently is less
acute than in other sections"

AS soon as you have had more oX-

told the first questioner You Will under

Legislatures around in their pockets The
Republican organization has done every
thing It honoraby could To induce the
Delaware Legislature to act. The only
thing left would be for us TO go down
and try to buy some votes and that isn't
done any more in the Republican party.
A little later. when ne made plea Tor
Republican support because RepuDhcan
officials could be counted on to insure
good government, another woman rose
and shouted
GLOW can you make such a promise
when you can't count oh the Republican
Legislature you already have in power
in Delaware"
Mr.. Hays recounted that Of the 81 states
which already had ratified. twcntN-nlhe
were Republican and asked his pues-
TONERS why they didn't call on some of
the Democratic States. He predicted that
'if Delaware didn't ratify some other
state would in time to make the amend

Kisses and "cat calls" drowned out
some of the interrogators, and as the
heckling continued women i'm all parts
of the hall greeted new Interruptions
with yells of sit down" and throw

persisted. and after declaring that
this kind of conduct on the part OF

while two women were OH theii feet

others were joining in with misses ana
cries of dsapproval at the disturbers,
Tonight headquarters of the ma
