CRUCIAL LABOR
PERIOD AHEAD
Next 80 Days to
Be Busy Ones for
Formers of County

With the dry bean harvest be-
ginning and alfalfa seed ano
potato harvest within the next
month, Big Horn county faces
a critical farm labor situation
for the next 80 days, reports
coming into the local office of
the u: S. Employment service
indicate.
If the weather remains favor
able so that no time is lost due
to storms, the amount of farm
labor available will probobly be
adequate, it was stated. AS it is
extremely urgent that all other
work possible be completed be-
fore beet topping begins, anyone
who is willing TO volunteer for
farm work is asked to register
at the U. S. E. S. office as soon
as possible.
Beet labor imported by the
Holly Sugar corporation and
held through the harvest has
done much towards getting har-
vest work completed in Big Horn
county, it was pointed out. L.
X. Cool has announced that a
group of Is workers from Okla
homa will soon reach Hardin
and Mexican nationals are ex-
pected to arrive about Sept. Is.
O.. c. Lamport, state manpow-
er director, makes the following
summary of farm labor condi-
tons throughout the state: Mon
tana's harvest of grains and hay
IS in full swing, with total
yields approaching the liberal
records of the 1912 season, and
with labor demands successfully
met up to the present time. Hay
tonnage will be well up to the
1912 level and of better quality
because of a season free from
general storms. Hay is more
than IS per cent in the stack
so it can now be told that the
manpower problem as regards
the hay harvest has been dispos-
ed of. Field offices of the United
States employment service, CO.
operating with the Montana ex-
tension service, have been active
IN assisting farmers in getting
labor for the harvest period.
Grain harvest is about 40 per
cent complete, with the labor
situation showing only scattered
local shortages of labor.

Allied Superiority in Air Admiifed by Nazis;;
 German Losses Increase
By HERMAN R. ALLEN

WASHINGTON, Aug 2l.-What has happened to the Luftwaffe?
 The authoritative British Maga- zine Aeroplane reports that the ratio of Axis losses to United Nations losses has risen steadily and that by the end of May was nearly 50 per cent higher-13,744 Axis planes knocked down since war began against 9,358 Allied craft. This did not include operations on the Rus sian front.
 Official figures on operations of the U s. Eighth Air Force alone (the Eighth is based in Britain) since the first of the year show a widening spread between our and enemy losses: eighteen bomber losses in January against 52 enemy fighters; 28 in April against IA enemy fighters; 85 in June against BOA.
 So, obviously. one thing that has happened to the Luftwaffe is that a large part of it has been shot down. Our losses are increasing, too, but this may be taken simply as evidence of our mounting plane production, which allows us to throw more and more planes into the offensive. The more we ven- ture, naturally. the more we lose but we gain more too, whereas the Germans, with their primarily de- fensiye strategy, can do little but lose and lose.
 Axis losses, however, mean little except in the light of replacements.
 Total German and Italian front line planes were estimated at about l2,500 at the start of the war (against the French and British total of 7,700) At the first of this
