Vacation Time a Happy Time


Vacation, joyous world for 49,
600 rural Minnesota children. For
three months parents will have the
entire responsibility of their chill
dren. The other nine months this
responsibility is shared with the
school. Are the Minnesota par
ents dreading vacation or looking
forward toVit as an opportunity for
more intimate family living, for a
better understanding of their fast
growing boys and girls?
Summer Is such a busy time for
rural parents, it is hard to find time
and energy for much but routine
work. However, vacation may bring
much happiness to families If 1t Is
looked upon as an opportunity for
cooperation in work and play, says
Mrs. Belle o. Fish, child develop
ment specialist, Agricultural Elk
tension Division, University Farm,
st. Paul
During the growing years chill
dren are forming along with other
habits, attitudes which determine
later likes and dislikes. Many
farm tasks in which children can
assist come to be disliked because
they become monotonous. A love
for rural living cannot be built
unless children are happy ard in
terested in their play and work.
Monotony, therefore, should be
avoided. Because the rural child

Farmer Demand for Labor
Under Normal

1.-THE demand on the part of
farmers for hired help is now
about Y per cent of normal, and
about IA per cent less than 1t was
year ago." says L. F. Carey OF
the Agricultural Economics Divis-
ion, University Farm, st. Paul.
This indicates that farmers are
planning to hire less labor than last
year. With the continuous decline,
in the price Of agricultural products
no doubt many farmers wonder
whether 1t will really pay to hire
any outside labor at all. There Is
no blanket answer to this question.
Every farmer would, Of course,
be anxious to hire additional labor
If the income from this labor were
greater than the expense Of hiring
it. This may not be the basis on
which some farmers will hire lab.
or this year. A considerable ex-
pense has been involved already in
planting and caring for the small
grain crops. If they are not har-
vested, they will all be lost. On
some farms, no doubt, the best pol
icy will be to hire a little more Ia
Dor and get something from the
crops although 1t may not be
enough to pay. all expenses. It
would reduce the loss. On other
farms the return will be more than
the additional expense Of hired la
Dor and thus increase the gain.
"The indications at the present
time are that there will be more
workers than there are jobs. Ac-
cording to reports for June there
were 1911 men in the United tSates
for every 100 jobs and the ratio
for Minnesota was the same. II
this proportion Of workers to jobs
continues, wages should be lower
than a year ago. This will be good
news to those farmers who are
planning on additional labor dur
ing the next few months although
such labor will have to be paid
for with comparatively low-priced
farm products.
"The ratio of prices Of farm pro-
ducts to farm wages is the lowest
since 1927, and, because Of this con-
dition, farmers should study their
needs carefully before paying out
cash for hired labor except where
it Is unquestioned economy. In
many cases an exchange Of labor
with a neighbor is much more adj
Wsable than hiring"

Press for Increased Pay

Lining up for a finish fight
over the issue of Federal pay in
creases, the executive council of
the Federation of Federal En-
ployes convenes here tomorrow.
with members in attendance from
all parts of the nation.
The council will make a drive
on both the House and Senate at
critical point in the considera-
ton of the appropriation meas
ures, in which the House ApproE
priations Committee has inserted
weasel provision" striking out
all salary increase sections de-
signed to carry out the terms Of
the Welch act.
Workers Are Confident
Luther C. Steward, president of
the federation, today expressed
renewed confidence that the Gov
ernment workers would win their
fight against Representative viii
R. Wood (RO Of Indiana and
other G. o. P. Leaders of the
House.
The meeting of the executive
council at this time, he added,
will serve notice on Congress
that the entire personnel of Fed
eral workers, both in Washington
and in the field, is up in arms
over the proposed wrecking Of
the Administrations three year
program for putting into effect
the pay increases slated for 1892
Coincident with the reporting
of the War Department appro-
priation bill in the House yester-
day, it was announced that Rep.
resentative La Guardia (R0 Of
New York will renew his fight in
opposition to the elimination Of
pay increases, while Senator
Brookhart (R) of Iowa will con-
tinue his opposition in the upper
chamber.
Senate FavOrS Raises
BY rejecting the conference re-
port on the Treasury-Postoffice
bill, the Senate already has gone
on record in favor Of maintain
ing the salary increase program.
This measure thus goes back to
conference, and it now appears
probable that another attempt to
break the deadlock will be made
at a parley tomorrow.
The Senate is now engaged in
the consideration of the Interior
Department appropriation mea-
sure, and has reaffirmed its stand.
in favor of the pay advances. This
bill probably will be passed by
the Senate today.
