SUPPLYING SEASONAL FARM
LABOR.

The department of labor, through
the United States employment serv-
ice, maintains a service in the inter
ests of farmers and farm laborers.
This service is strictly a field service
and is designated as the farm labor
bureau with central office at 2014
Main street, Kansas City, Me.
The farm labor bureau assists an
nually in harvesting and caring for
vast acreages of grain and food prod
ucts and by so doing contributes to
the welfare of the agricultural in
dustry ard to the prosperity of the
entire nation.
The present year has been the rec
ord year in the history of this serv-
ice. More than lot 900 men have
found employment at farm work this
year through the direct efforts of this
bureau. The expense of maintaining
this branch of the United States en-
ployment service during the year 1922
will total in round numbrs, $40, 900.
This includes the salaries Of 30 regu-
lar and part time employees and all ex-
penses of maintenance. Charging all
expenditures against this number of
men handled the per capital cost of
placements has been less than 1S
cents.
The greater portion of the men han
died by this bureau have been en-
gagged in seasonal farm labor in wheat
harvest, cotton picking, apple pick.
ing, potato picking, corn husking anc
work in the sugar beet fields and fac.
tories.
The farm labor bureau has beer
conducted economically and from the
standpoint of expenditures and &C
complishments will stand investiga
ton. The opportunities for the expan
sion of this service along practica
lines are many. This service is com
ing to be more appreciated and de
pended upon year by year by farmer
and laborers and the demands mad
upon it for assistance are create
than it financial ability to meet them

All being ready the word ego" Is
shouted by the umpire and, clinging
grimly to the spar with one hand,
the merry maidens proceed to slam
each other with the pillows. AT
the end of five minutes a halt is called
to the contest and the victor, If she
has not won by unseating her rival,
is awarded the prize on points. The
decision having been made by the um-
pire the combatants shake hands to
show that no rancor exists and the
next contest is called.
Although the Munson liners have
set a record of eleven days from New
York to picturesque Rio de Janeiro
there is ample time for the traveller to
obtain a liberal education In many
games. Deck golf is one of the sports
that finds a heavy following among
Americans. This is also true of ten
mis-. The older travellers find plenty
of diversion in SWITCHBOARD, quoits
and less strenuous amusements. The
~open-air swimming tank, with which
all the vessels are equipped, furnishes
great enjoyment to both old and
young.
The younger element find the pie
low fight much to their liking. Long
before the match is staged each lass
who is to engage in the pillow battle
finds herself with a retinue of follow
ers who during the slamming session
! loudly cheer her on to victory.

farmers with more than $4,000 men
for the wheat harvest, 5000 cotton
pickers for cotton fields in the Mis-
sissippi valley states, and also took
care of the demand for corr cutters,
potato diggers, apple pickers and 9th
er farm help.
All told 100000 men were supplied
to meet the various demands Of the
agricultural sctions for extra help
during the crop season. The bureau
is so economically managed that the
per capita cost of supplying these
men will not excbeed twenty cents.
The purpose of the bureau is to
supply farm labor in all states of the
Mississippi valley from Texas to the
Canadian line. There were about 20
branches Of the Kansas City office
during the harvest season, along with
many temporary headquarters. The
latter followed the season as it ad-
vanced north.
There is always a labor problem in
districts whoch are given owe almost
entirely to the raising of seasonal
commodities. The demand for labor
is so irregular that it can not possibly
be met by the natural supply, a fact
which makes necessary an adjustment
agncy to bring in outside resources to
meet the abnormal demand.
A shortage of labor over a brief
period may mean the loss of millions
of dollars to wheat growers. When
there is no organization to depend on
to adjust the supply to the demand,
costly uncertainty is the only result.
This illustrates the value of the work
the federal bureau has performed.

years, and upon information received
from stockmen, farmers, federal sta

Throughout the next six months, ac-
cording to the expressed intentions of
the men feeding them. Shipments of
stocker and feeder cattle and calves
from 81 public stockyards for the
four months, August 1 to December
l, this year, were the biggest ever re.
corded in this period, the total num-
Der being 100000 head. For the
eleven months, January l to Deem
Der 1, the feeder shipments this year
have only been exceeded by those of
1918 and 1919.
In the western states there is a de-
crease shown in the number of cat
tie on feed, due chiefly to a smaller
sugar beet acreage this year, and to
higher hay prices. In Montana there
is a small increase in the number on
feed in comparison with last year.
Attention is called to the fact that
this increased feeding does not nee
essarily lean a proportional increase
in the number of cattle to be sent to
market during the next five or six
months, as the proportion of feed
cattle in the total receipts, even in
Chicago, which receives the highest
percentage of grain finished cattle
of all markets, very seldom exceeds
go per cent.

ter class of stuff, prices have held
fairly steady, considering the unusu-
ally heavy receipts at the markets.
Had not the corn belt farmers alb
sorbed such a large number of feed
ers this fall, the prices would GER
tainly have been lower than they have
been.
Seasonal sheep movements are
practically completed. Prospects for
good prices for both lambs and wool
continue to encourage our sheep men.
Attractive lamb prices have taken a
heavy percentage of eve lambs from
western ranges, including Montana,
which indicates no great increase in
the size of breeding flocks from last
springs lamb crop.
With generally heavy SHOWS since
December 1, followed by real winter
temperatures, most stockmen have
found it necessary to begin feeding,
and the surplus Of feed is not so much
emphasized as it was a month ago.
Much food on farms is not a%ccessi-
BILE for the stockman's use. Hay is
bringing good prices, and a strong
out of the state demand is moving
considerable quantities from several
Sc tions. From the cattleman's view
point, hay prices are considered too
high, while the ~sheep-grower a bet
ter afford to pay the prices asked.
From reports from all parts of the
state, the average prices for wild hay
in the stack is $7.75 per ton, with al
falfa hay about $3.50 per ton, and
b~lue-joint a few cents higher than
alfalfa.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture reports from over the the sew
