Kiwdnidns Heur
Post Wur Pldns

Robert TOOtel1. agricultural
economist of Montana State
college was the feature speaker
before tine KiWaniS club at their
Wednesday luncheon meeting.
Mr.. Tootell spoke of the need
of post war planning in the 10
cal community. He placed en-
phasis on the work being done
by the department of agricul-
ture through agricultural advis-
Dry committees who operate
under the guidance of the local
county agents.
This committee. which is
composed of local farmers hav-
ing a number of years exper-
fence in the district which they
represent. is established to ad-
wise returning veterans VINO
may be interested In going on a
farm in that community.
"Motivated by either a desire
to get away from the hustle
and noise of war, or an oppor-
tunity to be free from being or
dered about, numerous service
men, many without former ex-
perience, have signified their
intentions to go on farm. the
speaker said.
These veterans will need
sound advice as to the capital
necessary and the possibilities
of success in the type of farm
ing in their chosen community.
To help local committees render
better service in this matter
long time expectancy surveys
of farms now operated by pros
pective committeeman are being
conducted by the department. of
agriculture.
It is hoped this will stimulate
the operators into giving more
careful thought TO their own op-
erationS, and increase their
capabilities to act as advisors in
their community.

May Have To Recruit
Civilian Labor To
Save 1914 Beet Crop

Because of the acute shortage
Of available hels the harvest
of the sugar beet crop has en-
tered a very critical period in
Big Horn county. according to
George w. Gustafson, county
extension agent.
With approximately 400 beet
workers now in the field. the
shortage amounts to $50. These
additional laborers are needed
within the next lew days in Or
der to insure the harvest of this
years crop of 1900 acres of sug-
ar beets in the county. Where
this labor is to come from is
still uncertain, said Mr.. GuStaf-
son.
1t is hoped that an additional
camp of German prisoners may
be secured with the possibility
of transferring an additional
number of prisoners from one
military commend to another.
This may make the required
number available. If this trans
fer can be made it may then be
possible to secure the needed
workers. as all the prisoners in
Command No. 9, included in the
Mountain states, are now at
work at some agricultural &C.
cupation.
Another possibility is that an
other contingent of Mexican
nationals may be brought from
North Dakota. where it is re-
ported that the harvesting Of
grain and picking of potatoes
is nearing completion.
The emergency is so critical
that. should these sources Of
supply not materialize, it will be
necessary to recruit labor as
was done two years ago among
local business houses and school
children. The next few days will
tell the story. Mr.. G~ustafson
It was also pointed out that
an acute shortage of labor ex-
lists in the Holly sugar factory.
Anyone who possibly can should
volunteer to help in the emer-
gency caused by this labor
shortage, said Mr.. Gustafson.
Farmers who can possibly de-
lay some of the work on the
ranch or farm are urged to ap-
ply for work in the sugar beet
industry. either in the field or
in the factory.
