MUST DEPEND ON SELVES FOR FARM LABOR

After the experience northern Montana underwent in at
tempting to block and thin beets, a attempt that wa at least
partially successful, we believe it is high time to consider that
experience in a realistic light and prepare for future labor
shortages.
One broad and general conclusion we have reached about
the whole situation, a situation that at times had the appearances
of a three-ring political circus, is that our growers and business
men will do best to depend on their own resources and work.
AS the old timer remarked, things m going to get worse before
they get better. This certainly applies to farm labor and our
farmers and ranchers cannot be blamed for casting a jaundiced
eye at the various gentlemen who broadcast sweet and soothing
statements some months ago intimatng that everything would
be rosy by thinning time.
Another conclusion we have reached is that planning to cope
with the labor shortage cannot begin too soon. We think leader
ship in planning should be taken by those most interested in
getting out the crop W mean the sugar company, and the
growers association, with all the help We folks in town can
supply. Representatives of these groups should sit down at
the conference table and they should lay all their cards on the
table in a full and frank discussion. That will be a starting point
for arriving at some means to meet this falls emergency.
The volunteer town labor plans results cannot be fully
assessed. Many farmers tell us that the town people really
helped pull things over the hump. Certainly they were IN aid
to morale. But the town labor plan was hastily conceived and,
in that haste, had its imperfecions, too. 1t was encouraging
to note that a good many of our people had insight enough
to see that their help was needed and that their job was on
the home front. 1t was a hopeful sign of our democracy. But. 7
at best, it was only a stop-gap and cannot be carried out on a t
permanent basis, for these labor shortages are beginning to n
hit the towns, a S we'll as the rural sections. n
We do not think it is going to do any good to indulge in Z
denominations now. But we do feel that we should profit by "
experience, disregard the statements and promises of various l.
and bureau heads who only complicated things in h
the past, and sit down to try to do the job in our own way, F
the best we can. Perhaps We can't arrive at any hundred per- a
cent solution but this writer confidently feels that if the folks f
concerned begin planning, and start their plans now, we T
have our best chance of meeting the emergency this fall t.
and again next spring. "

FOURTH OF JULY

To the men in the service: You may be interested in know
ing that the Fourth of July passed like a good many others for
the folks at home. 1t was warm after a cold spring. Those of
us who drove out in the country (at under 40) could see the
wheat coming up in great shape. The crop looks so fine that
for a lot of US suitcase farmers in town it's pretty hard to tell
the difference between winter and spring wheat.
Here and there the flax was spread like a blue carpet and
down on the irrigated lands the sugar beets are fourishing and
green. Range grass is knee high to a sx-year old. Old-timers
say they can't remember a year like this one.
IF you had been here. you might have gone to the rodeo at
Hnsdale and wondered with us why those broncs didn't mar up
more fellows than they did. Or you might have liked to drive
out to Fort Peck and look at the lake. Its depth is supposed
to be a military secret now but We can tell you there's a whole
lot of water there.
Even though it was a clear warm day, the horizon wouldn't
stretch far enough for us to see you in Texas, California,
Pennsylvania, down under" in Australia, Dutch Harbor or
wherever the hundreds of Valley county men may be. They
didn't say much about it, but we have a pretty good idea the
folks at home were thinking about you. For a lot of us, there
was a bit of a subdued note in the festivities. We saw quite a
few flags hanging from houses, not all the big houses, but the
ones, too. There were more out than any year we can re-

HORSE SENSE NEEDED

amt county Leader)
The beating that little business is taking, due to priority rights, red
tape and lack OF understanding, has been brought home to us this spring
i'll a way which makes more than little business" sit up and take notice.
Over at Whitehall the Truck Grain Blower company got priority rat
ings which permitted it to buy material for more than 300 grain blowers
1t quilt a factory Ctarted before the war; and hired men to manufac-
tue tn blowers More material arrived just this week with which to
make the grain blowers. But the war production board clamped down
on sales, setting the limit at about SO, while 259 more completed blowers
must be stored in the factory, tying up thousands of dollars of the
companys money.
But that's only part of the story. From all owe the west and north
west orders are pouring into the Truck Train Blower company. Every
letter carries practically the same story: We can't hire any men; we
have got to have a truck grain blower to handle our crop, or, my sons
have been taken into the army and no other harvest help is available"
From Kansas comes an order for a carload (35U of the blowers; from
Nebraska comes an order for 100. These from dealers. From farmers here
at home, from Conrad, Choteau, Wolf Point, Froid, from North Dakota
from all over this wheat bel. come orders by mail; many farmers make
personal trips to insist that their orders be filled. But the Truck Grain
Blower company has to return the checks and write hundreds of letters
to tell the farmers their orders cannot be filled because of war produc-
ton board orders, even though hundreds of completed blowers sit there
the factory warehouse.
The Truck Grain Blower company and the farmers want to help the
war effort. They will do anything they can to help. But they can't help
by letting their grain spoil in the fields while hundreds of grain blowers
lay stacked idle in a warehouse.

agents of North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota inquiring
about the labor situation there.
These agents reported that the
labor situation in these states is
just as serious as it is here and that
they have best prospects for crops
in ten years.
The counties that are located
close to big cities such as st. Paul
and Minneapolis do not seem to be
in such critical conditions as the
others because they are using many
city boys for the farm work. APP
parently it is working out quite sat
isfactorily.
Our labor problem in this county
is going to become more serious
this fall and especially so next
spring. 1t is going to tax the in
genuity of everyone to take care
of the crops that r needed for
this war.

The report for the week ending
July 2 shows that small grain is
headed cut in the southern part of
the county and beginning to shoot
nicely in the north. The spring
wheat ground was dry but the last
rain did much coed. Sugar beets
r growing fast because of warm
weather.
Livestock is doing we'll on the
range. Range is the best it has been
in years. stock is gaining rapidly.
Some trouble has been experienced
with hogs in narrowing. The cause
is probably lack of minerals in the
winter diet.
About ten percent of the sugar
beet acreage will be left unthinned
because of labor shortage. Ranchers
are beginning to hay and need
more haying labor. Fort Peck and
the airport are demanding more
labor than it is possible to get.
Some farm labor is going into these
jobs. Young boys are helping in
the hay fields.

Britain Is Brldgehead
For Attack, MacLeish SAYS
By the Associated Press.

By the ASSociated Press.
Archibald MacLeish, Librarian of
Congress, declared yesterday that
two years ago Britain was a gallant
defensive battlefield but now has
hecc2s. "a bridgehead for a great
offensive"
In an address broadcast over CHS,
Mr.. MacLeish said.
"The power of the free peoples of
the world is gathering in England
and in Scotland and the North of
Ireland for the blow which will
destroy their enemies in Europe and
leave their enemies in Africa and
In the East to fight hopeless war
unaided. Already the airflelds OF
England and Of Scotland have be-
come airfields of attack and not
defense. Soon, sooner perhaps than
our enemies believe possible, the
British coasts themselves will not
resist but strike"
Mr.. MacLeish paid tribute to the
English for their courageous resist
ance to the devastating air raids of
1910, which he termed "the first
battle of Britain" He said the
coming offensive actions against
