her again and again, until the

FBI Won't Tell

j. Edgar Hoover, big Oman,
shocked the House Military Affairs
Committee by refusing to appear
btfore it and give testimony about
subversive activities in matters re-
lating to National Defense. But
when Members of Congress were
given Mr.. Hoover's reasons for re-
fusing to disclose the secrets of
FBI, they admitted that his position
was correct and that the disclosures
he would have to make would "be
fatal to the future usefulness of
the Bureau. The Congress and
the press agreed that it would only
muddy the water if Hoover told
what he knew. Cops can't tell!

FARM LABOR AND WAGE

Maryland farmers on April / were
paying the highest wages for labor
since the same time in 1881. The
supply of farm labor was only 70
per cent of normal while demand
was 95 per cent of normal. With
supply short and demand high the
ratio of supply to demand was the
lowest for any quarter in the past
15 years of record. In practically all
sections of the Mountain region and
the lower Eastern Shore conditions
were not as bad as in other parts of
the State. The supply of labor was
the shortest, according to reporters,
in the Is years of record.
onditions in Delaware were even
worse than in Maryland. The sup
ply of farm labor was only 20 per
cent of normal while the demand
was 81 per cent of normal, resulting
in a supply-demand ratio of 70,
which is a record low. Conditions
were about the same in all sections
of the State, with the smallest sup
ply of labor being in New Castle
County adjacent to industrial activ-
files. Delaware farmers ON April 1
were paying the highest wages
since 1881.

FARMERS FACING LABOR
SHORTAGE
Demands OF Defense Work Bring
Serious Problem To Marylanders

Recent demands for labor for con-
structing military camps and by in
dustry to fill unprecedented orders
have resulted in a serious labor
problem to the Maryland farmer
A subcommittee of the State Land
Use Planning Committee, composed
of twelve members headed by P. c..
Turner, Maryland Farm Bureau
president, as chairman, and DR.. S.
H. DeVault, professor of agricul-
tural economics at the University of
Maryland, as secretary, surveyed the
farm labor situation and reported
that "joint action by farmers and
State agencies is necessary" to cope
with the problem.
Indications are that this prob
lem is most serious in the Eastern
industrial areas and near military
reservations, the report said.
"In Maryland, the higher wages
onA construction works at Fort
Meade, Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Edgewood Arsenal and at the In
dian Head naval powder factory
have resulted in the migration of
thousands of workers, many of
whom were from Maryland farms.
"How long this work will last is
difficult to estimate, but it is not
likely that any appreciable num-
Der of workers will return to farms
this year..
Business activity is the primary
factor affecting the supply of and
demand for farm labor.
when factories are operating
and construction work is active,
the migration is from farms and
rural areas to the city; conversely,
as business activity is on the de-
cline, the movement is from the in
dustrial centers to the farm or rural
areas"
To alleviate the present situation,
the State Employment Service act
the committee recommended that
as clearing agency in receiving
orders for farm labor and in re-
cruiting labor through it's files or
other sources.
Suggested as possible sources
were city boys below draft age,
CCC enrollees, high school and col
lege students during the summer,
migratory workers while the supply
lasts, and relief rolls.
Also recommended was the use
of prison-labor on roads to release
men for farm work and the appoint
ment of county farm labor coordin-
ating committees.
Greater use of labor-saving ma
chinery such as combines, tractors
equipped with lights for night oper-
alton and milking machines, ex-
change of farm labor during rush
seasons, planting of crops requir-
ing less labor, such as barley in
place of corn, and rotation plan to
eliminate competition for labor
were among suggestions made to
farmers.
