FARM news
From The USDA Office
OF Big Horn County

FARM LABOR-On March /, ac-
cording to USDA figures, there
were 8,730,000 persons working
on farms compared to 8,738, 900
on this date last year. The tot
al number, however, has been
more sharply lowered by losses
in skilled and able bodied work.
ers. Secretary Wickard in a
radio talk recently said al
though I feel that too many
key men have left farming, it
is neither possible or wise to
call all of them back to the
farm" AS one of the measures
aimed at relieving the farm lab
or shortage, He stated this pol
ICY I'VE must see that no more
skilled workers leave agricult-
ure, and we must do our best
to recall some of those who
have already left" Other meas
ures are recruiting and train
ing of new farm workers.

tact workers and expedite their

ers from out-of-state camps
may be brought in in two ways:

companies working with the

same setup as last year, or (2)
In case the government should
furnish transportation, by FSA
employment agreements.
At a recent meeting of the
Montana committe on farm
labor, it was pointed out that
with a delayed spring in Mon
tana and consequent lack OF
offers of employment by farm
ers through the FsA or by di-
rect contact with last years
beet workers and others, there
was some danger that other
states would fill their needs be-
fore Montana's needs were
known. The labor supply will
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1943-04-08

have to come from Mexican
nationals, Japanese evacuees,
and the rest from subsistence
farms, the women's land army
and school youth.
To help farmers makemost ef-
ficient use of present farm lab
or and new workers enlisted in
the U. S. crop corps, the dep
artment of agriculture has out
lined an intensified educational
program to reach every farm.
This program will be carried on
by county extension agents.
The labor efficiency program,
which is an expansion of estab-
lished extension programs, con-
tains three major phases: to
assist farmers with problems OF
organizing and managing their
farms to save labor; to help
them train workers on the job,
and to assist farmers in pre-
fecting ways for simplifying
many of the key jobs on the
farm.
SLAUGHTER PERMITS-Farm-
ers who slaughter for sale must
have permits. These may be OBJ
tanned at the county war board
office. No permit is necessary
when butchering for home use,
but if farmers deliver any OF
the meat to others a permit is
necessary. Under OPA meat re-
strictionS order in effect since
last October, farmers or local
butchers cannot sell more meat
to civilians than they did in the
same quarter of 1941. The quota
for any calendar year for any
farm ~slaughterer who does not
furnish a record of his slaught-
er in 1941 shall be his choice OF
300 pounds of meat, or any
part of the meat produced from
three head of livestock, which
may include not more than one
head of cattle.
HIGH Protein Concentrates
farmers who buy straight high
protein feeds such as Soybean
meal or tankage to balance the
livestock or poultry feeds, can
use them most efficiently in
combination with homegrown
feeds, including grasses and
roughage, so that the protein
in the resulting ration does not
exceed the maximum recently
agreed upon for commercial
mixed feeds, according to the
department of agriculture. De-
mand for high protein feeds is
especially heavy this year, and
the department is urging CO.
operation in spreading the av-
ailable supplies.

adopted a resolution which re-

Pan American Day was desig-

Republics and the Secretary OF
the United States.
