The prospect of an early spring is
| bringing many calls for help from
farmers to the eleven free employment
offices conducted by the state indus
! trial commission. In the first two
weeks of March, 2a6 calls were re-
ceiyed for farm hands, and BAT men
were sent to farm positions, of whom
l04 were reported back by tht farmers
as having been hired The largest
number of farm placements were made
! by the employment officers at La
| Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, Oshkosh
and Wausau, and there was a brisk
/! demand for farm help also at the off
ices at Green Bay and Sheboygan. In
some places there is difficulty in
getting experienced men to go on the
farms, because they are looking for
an improvement of employment coli
ditions in the citits in the near future
The principal difficulties in meeting
calls for farmers are in cases in
which the wages offered are below
standard and for calls from a great
distance. 1t has been found to be
practically impossible to get men to
travel more than 80 or 40 miles unless
the farmer is willing to advance the
fare, protecting himself by having the
baggage checked to him, and taking
the advancement cut of the first
months wages. The wages offered
range from $50 to $50 per month, with
/ 500 per month the most common wage
offered in most parts of the state. At
this time there is an especially keen
| demand for married men who are will
ing to move into tenant houses on
large farms with their families The
