In Maryland Called
As Bad as During War
BY the Associated Press.

by Ine ASSOCldLeQ FIeSs
BALTIMORE, Jan. 11.-Mary-
lands farm labor situation for 1946
was described by an expert yester-
day as being as critical as at any
time during the war.
Paul E. Nystrom, deputy director of
the University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service in charge of the farm
labor program, pictured the States
farmers as having to scratch hard to
produce the needed amounts Of food
in 1946 with a drastically reduced
labor corps.
Fewer Men Available.
In describing the situation to
some 1000 persons attending Farm
Bureau Day" at the 30th annual
convention of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Society and the Maryland
Farm Bureau. Mr.. Nystrom based
his forecast on several factors
Industrial unemployment has not
mounted as fast as it was earlier
feared" he said, "and displaced war
workers have been absorbed by in
dustries converting to peacetime
basis. This has left few men avail
able for farm work"
Mrs. Charles w. Sewell, admins
trative director Of the Association
of American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton Women, demanded a balanced
national budget "in the name of
women who control the major por-
ton of the wealth of this Nation
and who have denied themselves in
order to buy Victory Bonds to f.
nance the Nations war effort"
Mrs. Sewen proposed" as a major
means of creating the $4,000 900 jobs
deemed necessary to sustain our
national economy" that farmers
address themselves, to rebuilding
American farms" She declared 88
per cent of farm women have no
bathrooms, IS per cent no electric
refrigerators, 60 per cent no elec-
tricity and 40 per cent no radio.
Urges Use of Power.
A. w. Krewatch, College Park, in
reporting on the progress of farm
identification, called on farmers to
make more effective use of power,
thus to conserve labor and to speed
the doing of farm chores" He urged
the completion of electriication of
farms in Maryland, declaring that
I'll 900 more can be connected to
power lines by 1948."
Increasing the fertility of the Ma
tion's soil is challenge to American
agriculture, Hassil E. Schenck. pres
ident of the Indiana Farm Bureau.
declared. He added that the av-
erage depth of topsoil over the Ma
tion's farms has dropped from 9 to
6 inches and what is left has been
robbed of its mineral elements. He
said the next decade in agriculture
Will see more progress than in the
last so years"
