Seasonal Labor Being Sought
Eastern Shore Uses Migratory Crews;
Improved Techniques Invite Helpers
By Paul {. Nystron,
Deputy Director Of Ex,.n.le,

Deputy Director Of Extension IN Charge Of
Faced with 1e47 food goals re-
quiring acreage even greater than
1916. farmers already are worrying
about 1aborers to harvest crops. Vast
numbers OF hands are needed for
all kinds OF farm work throughout
the growing season. Industrial
workers do not wish TO return to
farm jobs and neither do many who
served In the armed forces.
The problem now and during the
war would have been impossible OF
solution had it not been for mechan-
ization, higher wages, less drudgery
and better leadership techniques
between farmer and his helpers
Laborers enjoy this improved rela-
tionship and are more content to
stay on the job to help produce
needed food.
The real rub comes in harvesting
fruits and vegetables, which require
quantities of hand and "stoop" labor
in Eastern Shore and Western Mary
land and near Baltimore. Orchard
lists are assembling data on workers
Market gardeners near Baltimore
are making arrangements with row
bosses" in the city to recruit their
crews, but the big problem is to
supply seasonal labor to the Eastern
Shore.
In this area farmers, Gamers,
broiler producers, sea food operators,
numbering interests and fertilizer
manufacturers compete for labor.
Half the Nations commercial broil-
ers come from the Eastern Shore.
Most of them are killed and dressed
there. 1t Is the center of the can
ming industry fourth of the toma-
toes and snap beans are canned in
Maryland
Beginning with spinach, straw
berries and asparagus in May, a
succession of intensive vegetable
crops are harvested until late fall.
The area is the center of commercial
oystering, grabbing and fishing. The

cluding the making of boxes, crates

The best tires should be on the

statement with the argument that

swung out of line by the action Of
