FEDERAL STANDARDS
PREVENT INEQUALITY
Cause of Considerable Dissatis-
faction Removed.
With Passing of MisapprehensIon In,
creaslng Sentiment Being Mani
tested in Favor of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

misunderstanding as TO the applIca-
ton of the federal grain standards and
as to the benefits to be derived from
the sale of grain upon a grade basis
have been the cause of considerable
dissatisfaction among producers and
country elevator operators. but with
the passing of these MISREPRESENTATION
an ever-increasing sentiment Is being
manifested in favor of the purchase
and sale by grade at country points.
The old system of basing the price
at which wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality of the crop i'm any commu-
nifty or section was totally unfair to
the producer of good grain. Under the
'mine-run" basis Of purchasing grain
the producer of good grain received
no more for his clean, heavy wheat
than did the producer of light weight
and otherwise inferior grain. Instead
of premium upon heavy grain, a pre-
MUM was paid upon. inferior products.
The application Of federal grain
standards is calculated TO prevent such
inequality, and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought Is
being accomplished.

With a shortage of farm labor, as
acute this year as in the critical war
year of 1918. threatening a curtailment
of food production on the farms. espe-
cially at the trying season of harvest
ing, the United States department of
agriculture is endeavoring to stir up
the interest of city men in spending
their vacations in the fields, particu-
iarly as harvest helpers.
Everyone remembers the now famous
"shOck troops" of the war years, who
went into the harvest fields of Kansas
and other large wheat-producing states
and lent a hand at gathering in the
nations bread supply. They included
men in many walks of life-college
students and city men, including bank
ers, lawyers, doctors, clerks and state
and city officials. These veterans, to-
gether with other volunteers 20 swell
the ranks. are urged to mobilize again
this year to help relieve the present
shortage and so aid in combating high
costs of food products.
Rendered Good Service in 1918.
In making this appeal it is recog
niZed 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 came to the aid of the
farmers leave no doubt as TO the sue
cess of the present canvass if the
men respond.
The present labor shortage has
arisen in spite of the fact that farm
wages are Is 20 % per cent higher
than last year The situation. mreme-
died. cannot fail to have an unfavor-
able effect on production, according
TO observers of the department, who
are watching the condition closely. 1t

Pests Not Only Cause Direct Loss Of

The sus' ained production or milk IA
well known to depend largely on the
comfort and contentment of the dairy
COW. Flies not only cause direct loss
Of blood and poisoning from their
bites, but also keep stock from feeding
properly. The loss Of milk from this
cause is one Of the serious problems
that face the dairy farmer.

will tend, they say. to prevent any re-
ductbn in the prices of farm products.
While the total acreage undoubtedly
has been reduced as a result of the
present situation, 1t Is not in 50 large
proportion as the reduction in the
labor supply. because the farmers with
their families exerted themselves TOT
the utmost to overcome the handicap.i
Cultivation this year was less inten-
sive than formerly. More land was
put into grass and such crops as re-
quit ed a minimum of labor, and the
titled fields consequently suffered.
Grain States Need Help.
From many of the harvest centers
are coming appeals for help. In some
of the big grain-producing states of
the West, such as Idaho and Nebras-
ka, the demand for labor for planting
the crops and tending them was fairly
well met. Harvesting and thrashlng.
however, means more help. and 1t Is
this that the farmers I'm these areas
are worrying about. Help must come
from the cities, and 1t is to arouse the
interest of city men and obtain their
aid that the department and other
agencies of the government and the
states are directing their efforts.
Persons who are DESTROYS Of re-
spending to the appeal should get In
touch with directors of agricultural ex-
tension at the colleges in the various
states. These directors are prepared
to supply the names of county agents
having farmers In their respective
counties who need farm labor. BY this
means anyone wishing TO help can get
in direct communication with the
farmer. In the grain-producing states
local employment headquarters are es-
tablished at various centers.
