Labor Is Still a Farm Problem
Improvement This Year Unlikely,
More Efficiency on Farms Urged
By D. A. Tucker
vi,siniu Extension Labor Supervise

labor supervisors, farmers must keep
on working for higher per acre
Yields while cutting down on hours
Of work.
Farming will never attract many
workers so long as long hours of
hard work bring little If any profit.
There must be more appeal in farm
living and working conditions. For
themselves and their hired labor,
farmers must work together for
better health and educational serv-
ices, better housing. and more con-
venient living conditions. When
these things are added to the nat
ural gifts of the open country,
farming can compete with industry
in attracting workers.
Because fewer foreign workers will
be available and because 1t is sound
policy, domestic labor must be used
to a greater extent. When it comes
20 placing either foreign or domestic
workers in farm work, the most
important factor in a successful
farm labor program. is not the num-
Der placed but the best possible
labor r-employe relationships.
Both the workers and employer
should understand their RESPONSE
oility toward the other; and it will
oe an increasingly important phase
Of the farm labor program to see
hat these relationships are properly
nurtured.

Goats Ideal for Small Farm.
Give Rich Milk at Low Cost

Dairy goats are ideal for the small
farmer who would like to produce
his own milk, but does not have the
space nor the facilities to keep a
COW.
Enough goats to provide the aver
age family with milk can be kept at
a fraction of the cost of COW and
goat enthusiasts say those who get
TO know the fine qualities of goats
milk will drink nothing else.
Goat breeders explain that three
goats-enough to provide a family
with a year. round milk supply
will do very nicely on ton of hay
and pasture. 1t would take about
six tons of hay and good pasture to
keep two cows.
Cost Is Low.
In other words, breeders say, a
small farm that could not provide
forage for one COW could produce
most of the feed for three goats,
The cost of prepared feed for one
goat has been estimated at about
$18 a year at present prices.
The dairy goat is gentle, clean
and we'll hammered, breeders ex-
plain. She may be kept in small
quarters with less care than the
family dog. A good dairy doe will
produce about one gallon of milk Il
day, although there are some that
have given as much as six quarts a
day.
There is one disadvantage In
keeping goats for year. round milk
supply. Since they normally breed
only in the fall, there will be a
period each year when all the ami
mails are out of production. Scien-
fists now are experimenting with

The farm labor situation In gen.
eral is not likely to improve a great
deal this year.
The number Of foreign workers
available will likely drop about 40 per
cent from last years supply. And
the hope that native men and wom-
en- who used to work on farms will
return from industry can at best be
only faint one. even though 1916
city-to-country migration was the
heaviest since the late 193Os. 1t will
take good wages to bring industrial
workers back and right now the
farmer faces a squeeze between high
wages and falling farm prices.
For some farmers, the one bright
spot is the possibility of an increase
in the migratory stream along the
Eastern Seaboard. To take full ad-
vantage of this possible migratory
increase, producers and farm labor
agencies must work together to i'm
prove housing conditions, provide
better health and child-care facili-
ties and establish the best possible
labor-employer relationships.
Another Possibility.
Still another possibility of meeting
the farm labor problem lies in the
more efficient use of the labor and
equipment farmers already have.
Plans are being made by the exten-
sion service to promote the use of
labor saving methods and devices
to an even greater extent than 1t
has already. Part of the effort will
be a caravan of labor saving ideas
exhibited in many Virginia commu-
mites next fall.
To this end committee, headed
by myself and including ]. A. Waller,
associate agricultural engineer; Miss
Helen Alverson, home management
specialist; w. H. Daughtrey, admin
istrative assistant, and r. D. Mich
ael, extension editor, has been set
up. To get caravan ready. even
though it carries only a few care
fully planned exhibits Of farm and
home labor savers, will require a
good deal of time in planning and
making models.
A companion idea calls for the
exhibiting at central community
points labor-saving devices that
farmers themselves have worked
out Where other States have held
such exhibits, extension workers
have been astounded at the large
number of worthwhile gadgets and
inventions farms have produced.
Some ideas have been so good that
commercial companies have bought
them up for manufacture and sale.
But we are mainly interested in
showing farmers examples of things
they can make themselves, such as
hoists and leaders, better gates,
buck rakes for hay making. and
similar items that save hours OF
hard labor.

the use of hormones in an attempt
to spread the breeding period
throughout the year.
Four Dairy Breeds.
-Four. dairy breeds are recognized
in this country The Toggenburg
most popular of the dairy breeds, is
considered the most rugged and less
temperamental. Breeders call them
the "Holsteins" of the goat breeds.
Nubian goats are the second most
popular breed and are often spoken
of as the Jersey of the goat world
because of the high butterfat con-
tent of their milk.
The Saanen, a pure white breed,
is popular because of its high milk
production, while the French Alpine
breed is less numerous in this coun-
try than the other three These
large, trim goats give good milk with
high butterfat content.

Stray Tomato
Shows Promise

A STRAY" Virginia tomato plant
may provide the answer to the wave
of late tomato blight that proved so
devastating to State commercial
growers last year.
DR.. H. N. Young, director of the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, in his annual report recently
told how a tomato plant, found
growing in 194l beside fence near
the station greenhouse, has been
used in developing a new strain.
The new tomatoes being devel-
oped from this STRAY, Dr. Young
said, show promise. While it is too
early to know for sure, he added,
this may be the answer to late
blight-a tomato that will resist the
disease.

Reforesting Urged
On Denuded Crop
Lands in Virginia

Calling attention to an estimated
100000 acres of denuded and idle
land in Virginia, for which the bes
use would be timber production

ton and other forest purposes, Viii.
bur O'Byrne, State extension for.
ester, has reported that the tota
forest acreage planted in the State
since 1920 totals less than 25,Do(
acres.
Comparable national figures show
that 100000 acres are lying idle
and only 6,483,632 acres have beer
planted since 1926. This land, says
Mr.. O'Byrne, is largely abandoned
crop land. Virginia's main problem

tween the western edge of the
coastal plain and the counties
served by the Southern Railroad.
Held to low ebb during the war
nursery and planting operations
are now being increased, but Mr.
O'Byrne points out that at the
average rate of annual planting SC
far, it will take at least 100 years
to do the planting job needed.
Survival Rate Raised.
Research and improvement In
nursery and planting techniques
have steadily raised the average
rate Of survival for nursery stock
used in reforestation. says O'Byrne
still, much timber has been lost
through careless cutting and thin
ming practices, and poor manage
ment.
Planting experts in the. Agricul-
ture Department Forest Service say
interest in tree planting is at an
all-time high. but that the demand
for planting stock generally exceeds
the supply.
The bulk of the seedlings that
go to reforest State and private
lands, including those of farmers
and small owners. which make up

portance of solving production and
marketing problems-of avoiding
alternate scsrcities and gluts on the
market-has been emphasized by
farmers
DR.. Maxton said a possible answer

supplied with fresh quality produce
at farm prices. by sound storage
program. and by properly using all
other produce by processing. longer
storage and increased trade with
other nations

Gardeners Crowd EasternShows
Throngs Rush to Buy Seeds, CADETS;
Many Miss Messages Displays Bring
By W. H. Younqmon

Judging by the feverish buyin,
being done by gardeners at the big
spring flower shows, spring must be
iust around the corner. The throngs
Of visitors at the Boston, New York
and Philadelphia shows-the big
three of the East-stood in wonder
before the marvellous displays. and
then rushed to the booths to buy

all the other items that 60 into the

To this observer, however, ii
seemed that too many failed to take
in the real message the displays
contain. There is the care with
which each exhibit is given set
ting. The background, wall OF
green or rustic fence, cuts of
everything that might distract the
visitors attention. He is compelled
to look at the main feature, whether
water or plant material.

Of flowers, bulbs or ANIMALS. but neg
lect to complete the picture-the
framework and the background. An
artist would consider such a step
essential: the gardener should be
just AS thoughtful.
Care Used in Blending.
Another point to be gained from
the flower shows is the care given to
blending plant growth. We may
plant a shrub at the end of the bor-
der. or we may use background
but how often do we use transitional
planting?
The landscape architects use great
care In the selection of plants OF
shrubs that tie-in, or tie together
the flowers and the background. In
this connection, it was interesting
to note that several exhibitors used

Clinics have been established with the hope OF
eventually turning them into cancer hospitals IN large
