URGEsaTHR CITY MEN no HELP.
Farm Labor Shortage Threatens Cur
Stai1ment of Production,

.'W washington, d. C., May 19.-W1th
a shortage Of hired farm labor as
acute as in 1918, threatening to cur
tail food production on American
farms, e. T. Meredith, Secretary of
Agriculture, has issued an appeal to
city men, college students and 9TH
ers to spend their vacations working
on farms, particularly as helpers in
the harvest fields.
Reports secured by the Federal de-
partment from its representatives in
practically every State in the Union
show that the supply Of hired farm
labor In this country Is only about
~ per cent Of the normal supply
compared with approximately 81 per
cent Of a normal supply a year ago..
This years shortage is almost ex-
actly the same as that Of two years
ago., when large numbers of men
were in the military service.
The recent shortage has arisen in
spite Of the fact that farm wages are
10 to rs per cent higher than last
year. The situation unremedied can
not fail to have an unfayOrahle effect
on production, according to the Uni
ted States Department OF Agricul-
ture, and will tend to prevent any
reduction In the prices Of farm pro-
ducts. While the total acreage will
undoubtedly be reduced as a result
OF the present situation, it will not
be In as large proportion as the re-
duction in the labor supply, because
the farmers, with their families, are
exerting themselves to the utmost to
overcome their handicap. Cultiva-
ton 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, 1t Is
said, and the titled fields will be less
intensively cultivated.
Appeal to business Men.
Secretary Meredith calls on all
business men and students to spend
their summer vacations helping re-
2ieve the present situation and so
aid in combating the high living
costs. In making this appeal it is
recognized that, at the outset at
least, such labor is not as efficient
as experienced farm labor, but the
excellent results secured in 1918,
when city men in large numbers aid
ed the farmers, leaves no doubt as
to the success Of the present drive
IL the men will respond.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture was represented by Ash
err Hobson at the meeting Of the Ma
tional Farm Labor Conference, held
in Kansas City on April 16, Of which
r Uohson Is assistant chief, Is lay
ing plans looking toward Offering ef-
fectfye aid In dealing with the farm
labor situation, particularly In the
harvest season. 1t Is expected that

out. IL you belong to the American
Legion you can bring up your ideas
at q meeting, and IL they seem good
we Will adopt them. and we will be
ablestogsslier to- give them "a practi-
cal working out.
Ocbnee has some excellent records
Of individuals who have performed
great services for their country. But
in the way Of cooperation or COM
munity service she has accomplished
practically nothing. Her people do
not seem willing to stick together or
to work together for a common good.
Every man is for himself. Our peo-
pie either do not know tho value Of
cooperation, ,$or else they are too
selfish and narrow-minded to do any
thing that will help any one but
themselves. }S
Ex-service men know the value Of
organization and cooperation. They
had to have 1t on the drill fields, on
the battle lines, in the chow dis
pensing department. They know
what unity of purpose and action.
can accomplish. 1t Is now up to them
to show the people Of Oconee what
can be done by organization and CO.
objectionable two words go to-
gether)--right here "in their own
yards"
The way to do this is for all ex-
service men and women to join the
American Legion and work together
to carry out the Intentions Of the
organization.
The nationwide membership drive
Is now on. The objective Is three
million new members. Oconee coun-
ty should furnish at least five hun
dred Of these. II she does not, 1t will
show that the men who worked with
such high purpose in the service
have refrigerated and slumped back
into the old rut Of inertia and selfish
satisfaction OF pre-war days
And incidentally 1t will show that
the ants work more intelligently
than human beings.

Battle of the Bats.

Two friends went for a country hol-
iday and secured very comfortable
quarters in farm house. During
their first night they were reused BY
the sound of something Hopping about
the room. Striking a match, they dis.
covered large bat.
After chase, they caught the scared
thlng, and, being unable to open the
window, just shut it away in the draw.
er of the dressing table.
They had just dozed off when there
was another bat and another battle.
This one joined the first in the draw.
er. The same thing happened again
until they had caught and imprisoned
ten bats. Then they got little peace.
In the morning they invited the
landlady up to view their bag. Open
ing the drawer proudly found there.
In one poor, weary bat, and the land,
lady laughed.
II suppose you never thought there
was no back to that old drawer ?" she
remarked.
