PRESENT BEET
LABOR PLANS
Draw Up Program For
Extension Service On
ALLEGATION o. Labor

According to a tentative pro-
gram drawn up at a meeting in
Billings Tuesday, the Hardin
area will receive 4O8 Mexican
nationals and $50 prisoners of
war to help with the beet har-
vest.
Those taking part in the
meeting included officials of
the state agriculture depart
ment, labor procurement agen-
cies, the Ninth service command
of the army and representatives
of sugar beet growers associa-
lions and sugar professors.
From Hardin were H. A.. Will
Jams and L. R. Cool.
Labor allocated to other sug-
reproducing areas in the state
under the program, which will
be offered to the extension ser
vice, is as follows: Billings,
1920 nationals and LIPS war
prisoners; Missoula, 1852 nation
ais; Chinook, 1894 nationals and
1,275 war prisoners; Sidney, 816
nationals and 900 war prison.
erS.
A. H. Kruse, state commits
sioner of agriculture, said that
the labor allocated to Montana
will be in the state in suffice
lent time to meet the farmers
needs and that the organiza-
ton for the procurement of the
labor is the best in Montana's
history.
The details concerning the
prisoner of war camp sites and
the manner of handling the
prisoners was not definitely es-
tablished at the meeting, but
1t. Col. Dott E. Smith, COM
handing officer of the Rupert,
Ida, prisoner-of-war ca m o,
said that this could be worked
out at a later date.
The state farm labor COM
mittee called the Billings meet
ing in order to establish, as
nearly as possible, the number
of acres of beetS that will be
planted in Montana during the
coming crop season and the a.
mount of outside labor that will
be needed in order that the
ALLEGATION of war prisoners and
Mexican national can be con-
sidered.
During the farm labor COM
mittee meeting at Helena on
March 6, Ralph E. Bodley, state
supervisor of emergency farm
labor, said that Montana could
expect approximately $3.50
prisoners of war for the last
half of May and all of June,
1000 during July, August and
September, and $3.50 from Oct
ober l until the end of the har-
vest season. In addition to the
war prisoners, 3,4OO Mexican
nationals can be expected fol-
Montana. However, some OF
these would be available for
general ranch and farm work
These figures are reported to
be unchanged.

CITY COUNCIL

At it's regular mid-month
business meeting, the city coun-
Gil let the contract for gar
bage removal in the city, ap-
pointed Robert Maus for care
of parks and boulevards, heard
reports on the street situation

the difficulties imposed on truck
operators by wartime condi-
lions and asked that all per-
sons affected cooperate to
make the removal of garbage
easier.
Though the contract is let at
an increase in price over last
year, due to higher expenses on
the part of Mr.. Quarnburg
there will be no increase in the
assessment, Mayor Carl Rankin
said.
Applicants for the work OF
watering and moving parks and
boulevardS and spraying OF
trees were considered. Robert
MauS was appointed to fill the
job, beginning April l., with
such extra help as may be nee
eSSary.

LABOR PROSPECTS
Exported GOOD

Prospects of adequate labor
for an increased sugar beet
acreage in Montana in 1915 are
good, according to R.. E. Bodley,
state supervisor of emergency
farm labor program.
Word has just been received
from the ninth service COM
mand of the army that Montana
will receive $3.50 prisoners of
war for the last half of May
and all of June, 1000 during
July, August and September,
and $3.50 from October l to the
end of the beet harvest period,
Bodley said. Should more pri-
soners become available during
the harvest period, they will be
equitably allotted throughout the
beet areas if needed.
In addition to the prisoners
of war, 3,400 Mexican Nationals
have been allocated to Montana
for sugar beet work, some of
whom are being made available
for spring livestock work and
also for general ranch and farm
work during the summer to
those ranchers and farmers who
have made requests for help to
their county agents.
ALLEGATION of prisoners of war
will be made at a meeting in
Billings March 20 by five re-
representatives. of sugar beet grow
ers, representatives of process
ors, the chairman and secretary
of the state farm labor COM
mittee, and the extension SER
vice. The decisions of this group
will be made on a basis of the
beet acreage adjacent to points
where prisoners of war have
been requested, upon housing
facilities that have been made
available, and upon such other
factors as the committee finds
relevant to equitable ALLEGATION,
Bodley said. If possible, repre-
sentatives of the ninth service
command of the army will at
tend the meeting to ascertain
what housing facilities have
been made available for the
prisoners in sugar beet areas,
he added.
