1900 EXTRA HARVEST
HANDS ESTIMATED TO
Be NEED OVER STATE
Extension Service Director Complies
Figures from Requests of County
Agents; Labor Offices May Be OPP
ened.

Bozeman, July 11.-Approximately
5000 extra harvest hands will be
needed to harvest the 1923 grain crop
In Montana, according to information
compiled by j. c. Taylor, director of
the Montana extension service, at dis
trlct conferences of county agricul-
tural agents held at Malta and Great
Fails last week. Previous to the
meetings, agents of central and nor
thern Montana counties made a sur
vey OF harvest labor requirements for
their counties. The number of extra
hands required for the present crop
exceeds that needed for handling the
record breaking crop of 1927, says
Mr.. Taylor.
The figures compiled by Mr.. Taylor
have been sent to George E. Tucker,
director of the federal farm labor di-
vision at Kansas City, and to Barclay
Craighead, chief of the division of
labor and publicity of the state de-
partment of agriculture, so steps may
be taken to supply the labor. Last
year, under cooperative arrange
ment between federal and state labor
departments, labor offices were main
tanned at Bainville, Havre and Great
Falls. Mr.. Taylor has requested that
offices be opened at these points
again this year.
Reports from county agents indi-
cate that harvesting of winter wheat
will start between July % and Aug.
l, with possibilities of delays in some
sections because of the lateness of the
season. Spring heat also probably
Will not mature as early as ordinari-
ily in many parts of the state and it
is expected that not many men will
be needed for harvesting this crop
before Aug. 10 to Is.
The probable extra labor REQUIRE
ments for harvest this year for the
important wheat counties in northern
and central Montana, according to
Mr.; Taylor's report, follow:
Sheridan county, 600; Daniels. 300,
Valley, 400; Roosevelt, 400; Richland
800; Chouteau, $50; Judith Basin
100, Teton, 200; Pondera, $50. In al
OF these counties labor will be need
ed from August l to 10, except II
Teton and Pondera, where the demand

Wisconsin FL Meet on July 16
In this connection it is of interest
to note that the more militant mem
bers of the progressive movement in
Wisconsin are contemplating the
launching of a Farmer-Labor party
in that state. A statewide Farmer
Labor political conference has been
called to meet at Kenosha, Wis, on
Monday, July 16, one day before the
annual convention of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor. The conference
has been called by the Douglas county
Farmer-Labor Political Assn.
The concensus of opinion among
progressives of the nation is that the
only way for the producers of wealth
in the United States to achieve sue
cess upon the political field is through
an Independent political movement
and not by way of nonpartisan or BIZ
partisan action.
