The Works Progress Admins
tratlon is making every effort
to assist in the matter of en-
ployment in the harvest fields,
a communication received here
from c. w. Fowler, Deputy Ad-
miniStrator of the Montana
WPA, at Butte stated. we are
cooperating to the best OF our
ability with the County Com
missioners and other sponsors
of projects. In some cases pro-
JectS will be closed to enable
workers to 60 into the harvest
fields. In other places workers
will leave WPA employment as
opportunity presents to take
employment" Mr.. Fowler said.
Arrangements have been per-
fected with the regional Of
flee enabling the WPA to re-
tain quotas in all agricultural
counties at their present fig
ureS and thus have WPA ell
ployment available for former
WPA employees when the re-
turn from work in the fields,

1t Is expected that the period
when the largest number of
persons will be absent from

not be sufficient to affect sta

Give Information
On Beet Payments

The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration announced last
week, that, with the exception
of a few cases in California
where certain sugar beet op-
erations are completed at a
relatively early date, producers
will receive their 1885 sugar beet
payments only after all per-
sons employed in the produc-
ton, cultivation, or harvesting
of the 1888 crop have been paid
in full.
1t was possible under the
1887 program to deduct the am
cunt of the 1887 unpaid wages
from the sugar payments due
producers on that crop, due 10
unusual circumstances. The
lateness of the enactment Of
the Sugar Act and consequent
delay in the issuance of reg
ulatiOnS resulted in the infOr-
nation on wage requirements
for 1887 reaching producers at
ter labo-ers were no longer in
the community. This year, how

of labor in full before payments
are made to producers. The re-
quirements apply to labor en-
,ployed in the production, cul-
tivation, or harvesting of the
1888 crop of sugar beets.
Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration officials stated
that under the 1888 program de-
auctions for payment of &C
crued unpaid wages TO laborers
will be made from payments to
growers only in the rev cases
in California where growers had
