MUST JOIN WITH
SPONSOR GROUPS
Requirements For Mex
icon Nationals As Form
Help Must Be Certified

Before ranchers and farmers
can get Mexican nationals for
general farm work during the
coming season they must af-
filiate with a sponsoring group,
says R. E. Bodley, state super
visor of the emergency labor
program.
These groups are now form
ing in counties throughout the
state and they will play a vital
part in whatever solution may
be effected in this years farm
program. Through their help
many of the confusing problems
Of last years program will be
eliminated, for they are compos-
ed of farmers and ranchers hav-
ing definite need for workers
and they are formed with the
help of county agents.
Bodley said sponsoring groups
will eliminate the confusion
caused last year by employers,
In some cases, requesting more
workers than their actual needs
proved to be. They will consti-
tute responsible agents with
which county agents can work
In matters pertaining to the Sc
curing of labor, signing of con.
tracts and other details with the
office of labor.

WILL BEGIN BOY
SCOUT CAMPAIGN

The financial campaign for
the Hardin Boy Scouts will begin
on Tuesday, May 16, according
to present plans, announced
this week by E. E. Skeie, chair
man of the Hardin Scout CON-
mittee.
The organization of the cam
paign is nearly complete, and
the captains of the teams of
canvaSSers will be announced
next week.
A Kickoff" breakfast is to be
served Tuesday morning, NAV
16, in the Masonic temple BAN
quet room. The breakfast IL
sponsored by the local Scout
committee. Present will be all
team captains, canvaSSerS and
members of the Scout commit
tee. The breakfast Is to be pre-
pared by E. L. Riley.
In order that we may be as
sured the continuance of help
and leadership of the Yellow
stone council and adequately e.
quip and lead the boys of the
troop both here in Hardin and
at Crow Agency, it will be nee
essary for everyone to do his
part, said Mr.. Skeie. while
our needs are not great, as COM
pared with other agencies in
these war days, it will he nee
essary for all citizens to help
in making this campaign a sue
cess. The value of the Scouting
program to boys is well known,
and the committee is confident
that everyone will desire some
part in guaranteeing the con-
tinuance of Scout work here in
Hardin and at Crow Agency"

ASKED TO LIST
LABOR NEEDS
Hope Formation o.
Sponsoring Bodies Will
Solve Labor Problems

Because the supply of Mexican
nationals for farm work will be
quite limited. Montana farmers
and ranchers who will need the
workers from the period of a.
bout July 10 to Sept. IS should
list their needs at once with
their county extension agent,
says Ralph E. Bodley, state sup
ervisor of the emergency farm
labor program of the Montana
Extension service.
Early listing is necessary, he
said, so that county require
ments for labor can be certified
to the state emergency farm
labor office.
Bodley also pointed out that
wage accounts of Mexican nat
lonals employed on farms this
year for general farm work NAV
De figured on a monthly rather
imam hourly basis if the employ
er so desires.
For many employers, he said,
this option will greatly simplify
This part of the employment
problem.
While Mexican workers will
be available in limited numbers
for general farm work during
the period when they will not
be needed in the sugar beet
fields, the bulk of the Job of
providing the farm labor need
ed in Montana this year will fall
on local communities, Bodley
warned. This means, he said.
that more town people, more
school boys and girls, and more
OF all other types of local labor
must be used than last year. It
also menas, he added, that the
farmers will have to pool work.
ers ad equipment more than ev-
er before.
