OREGON NEEDS HELP
TO SAVE BIG CROP

Labor is so scarce, the governor
was informed, that farmers have
but 10000 of the 10000 workers
needed to pick string beans, hops
and prunes.
The governor asked schools to
delay resumption of classes or to
excuse students who would help
with the harvest requested men
on five-day week to put in their
days off by working in the fields,
and called upon women and child
rem to go to the farms for the
next three weeks.
The labor scarcity centers in
the Willamette Valley of western
Oregon.
