900 NEEDED
TO HARVEST
SUGAR BEETS
Number Required for Chinook
Area; Montgomery Goes to
Western Meeting.
Manager Says Company to Aid
in Financing Adequate
Labor Housing.
BY Courier Correspondent

HINSDALE-The labor problem
for the coming sugar beet harvest
in the Chinook factory area was
discussed at a meeting of directors
of the Northern Montana Beet
Growers association with officials
of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company
at Chinook Tuesday, it was an
nCunced by A. j. Hentz of Hins-
dale, association president. Halter
Gearhart, manager of the comp
any's Chinook factory, told at the
meeting that an estimated 900 ad
ditional laborerS will need to be
recruited for the harvest in the
Chinook factory area.
The only source now in sight for
this additional labor is California,
Mr.. Gearhart said. The meeting APP
pointed H. NJ. Montgomery of Chin
ook as a representative to attend
a conference at San Francisco Aug.
10 and IL of growers associations,
sugar company officials and gov
eminent authorities to take action
on the labor problem.
I'm order to secure needed labor
for the sugar beet harvest, 1t Is
vitality important that we provide
adequate housing at once" it was
stated by Mr.. Hentz and Rex Stall
cup, Valley county director, who
attended the meeting. THE sugar
company stands ready to finance
construction of such houses on
terms up to five years for pay
ment, if necessary. A two-room,
three room or five room labor house
suitable for year-round living for
workers is both a vital necessity
if We are to secure labor and a
good long-term investment"
Need For Harvest
While the Hinsdale area largely
solved its own labor problem dur
ing the thinning and hoeing sea
son through the use of student
help, topping and loading is heav-
Ter work and farmers cannot justly
expect that these students can
handle all of the harvesting work,
Mr.. Hentz said.
I'VE will need some outside labor
this fall in spite CT everything that
our patriotic youngsters and bust
ness men can do. Mr.. Gearhart
has praised our local public spirited
students and business people very
highly fer their efforts this spring
and summer and we know that
they will help all they can during
harvest"
The beetgrowers association has
decided to raise topping rates to
whatever will be necessary in order
to compete with other sugar grow
ing areas in securing labor.
