her. Rusty usually called his wife
Paige, instead Of my wife" Eu-
genia decided to turn back to indig-

murdered a man, some girl who

Farm Labor Exchange
Planned

The program of exchanging farm
labor to overcome as much as pos
sible the shortage of agricultural
help has been launched throughout
Putnam county.
This was disclosed by the Farm
Labor Committee after a meeting in
the municipal building. The body
reported that in each neighborhood
plan of pooling labor and machin-
cry is being carried out with the re-
suit that most crops can be handled
without additional labor except in
seasonal instances.
The harvesting of corn and hay
making will require the principal
extra labor aside from the produc-
tion of sugar beets and tomatoes.
However, the committee explained
that labor usually is brought into
Putnam county for those two crops.
