LABOR SITUATION AND
CROP SURVEY

Reports from all points in North
Dakota indicate crop conditions are
as favorable as at any time in the
past history of the state. Also, the
reports further indicate that all sec
tions of the state are we'll supplied
with moisture, giving the best insur-
ance against any probable drought
condition this season.
It appears likely that many fields
Of winter rye will be ready for har-
vesting by July 18th; oats, barley and
wheat will then follow. Should the
present prospects continue, North Da-
kota will harvest m of the largest
crops i'm its history.
There will be an active demand for
labor commencing about July /. The
70. s. Employment Service, operating
under the u. S. Department of Labor,
will cooperate with the State En-
ployrnent Service in establishing tenn
porary labor agencies to supply trans
lent and other labor as the demand
for such labor is made. George E.
Tucker, field representative in the
Farm Labor Bureau Of the Federal
Service whose office is at Kansas City
Missouri, made a personal trip to the
state recently to size up the situation
and make arrangements to aid the
state office IN the labor agency work.
The present plans are to establish
temporary offices on or about July
18th at Cakes, Grand Forks, Devils
Lake, Minot and Bismarck. The Fed
eraI-State Employment Agency oper-.
ating at Fargo will receive addition
u help during the rush season.
The scale of wages for the wheat
harvest can hardly be appropriated
at this time. The Fargo office reports
under date OF June 24th that month
wages are still being offered at $40
per month and season wages at $40
and $45 per month, and that there is

Ex-sERvlcE MEN COLONIZATION
PLANS POPULAR IN LOUISE
ANA

New Orleans, Lahore than co..
900 acres of Louisiana farming land
has been offered to Blair Harrison,
chief of rehabilitation of the United
States veteran bureau for the Sixth
District, located at New Orleans as
result of his announcement that the
bureau proposed to locate colonies OF
agriculturally inclined ex-service men
on the completion of their training.
One New Orleans bank president
offered to build community for men
desiring to enter the sugar crop pro-
du,tion. and a New Orleans home
stead association has offered to fl
nance men who desire to open up
truck farming on five-acre farms they
are willing to throw open near the
city.
The offer of 10000 acres of farm
ing land throughout the state came
to the bureau from some of the larg-
est landowners who are enthusiastic,
not only for the colonization of Lou
isianna with trained agriculturists
produced by the bureau, but are will
ling to undertake on liberal terms the
colonization Of the state with agricul-
turists from other sources.
The large land owners indicated in
their communications with Mr.. Har-
rison that they feel that what Louisi-
ana agricultural development needs is
more people in the farming districts.
and marks the passing Of the planta-
ton idea of farming to the small
farm.
L. M. Pool, president of the Marine
Bank and Trust Company advised Mr..
Harrison that he stands willing to
construct a new farming community
on a large tract of sugar land now
owned by him, and assist the ex-
service men to get started in sugar
cane production through extended
payments for the land covering twen-
ty years if necessary. establishment
of credit, erection of homes, and pur-
chase Of farming implements in addf-
ton TO tnat prOVlued Dy tie govern
ment in its $500 allotment
The local homestead association
which offered to develop five-acre
truck farms near New Orleans for
the men will also assist the men In
the erection of homes and extend the
payments over a long period of time.
Another large owner of land ad-
vised US he had $500 acres which he
was willing to assist the men in Gre
ating into paying farms" said Mr..
Harrison. "This man advised us that
he is willing to establish a store for
them, assist them in erecting their
homes and in paying for their prop
erty. Colonization seems to have hit
a popular chord in Louisiana"

WHY I JOINED
THE FARM BUREAU

II joined the Farm Bureau because
wanted to keep my girl out Of the corn
field and give her the education she should
have. My father made some money in
farming but he made it at the expense Of
working himself fifteen hours day and
his wife and children longer hours than
they should have had. 1t wasn't that he
was greedy; it was just that farming was
then 80 hazardous financially that he had
no other recourse. The Farm Bureau In
our county is eliminating the unnecessary
risks from the business Of farming and is
putting it on the plane where efficiency
and service, rather than drudgery and
long hours, pay just returns. My farm
bureau membership has come back into
nv pocket in added returns every year
since / have belonged. and it will do the
same thing for every other farmer who
makes good use Of It.
II cite these benefits first not because
| fail to see the other ideals of the Farm
Bureau, but because agriculture must
first be put on Just basis Of prosperity
II other ideals are to be attained"
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-06-10
Investigations Show Grain :
Market Speculation

Recent investigations Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation have showed
that speculation. on grain market was
working hardship upon the producers
of grain and that grain exchanges had
become so powerful that it was necessary
for the Government to regulate and con-
troll them-just as necessary as it is for
our Government to control the railroads,
to control insurance companies and to
control our banks.
This year the American Farm Bureau
Federation gave its support to this
demand at the hands Of Congress, and this
bill enacted into a law For the first time
in the history Of our nation, there is a law
on the statute books providing for the
Federal regulation Of the grain exchanges
of the United States.
The Federation has assisted in procur-
ing legislation providing for the reg.lla-
ton and control of our Live Stock markets.
At the present time the commissions on
the Live Stock Exchanges which the pro-
ducer is compelled to pay are from so to
100 per cent greater than those existing
before the war.
