Owing to unemployment in cen- ters of population, there are many. men now available for farm work. A large number of these men have had farm experience and their serv- ices are now available at moderate wages with board. Farmers who can usefully employ one of two of these men at this time, will be rendering a service to the community as well as to themselves. Many farmers have repairs and other small jobs which have been put off for years on account of the high cost of labor. This' might be a good time to get caught up with work -of this nature. Farmers desiring heap please com- municate with your local represen- tative and state the nature of .the work and wages you are willing to pay. S. B. St6thers, Agricultural Representative.
