In the matter of wages, the farmer is decide ly at a dlsadantage in securing help. He has had so many bad years and over such a long time that he cannot conduct his farm and pay the wages which are offered by the PWA, the WPA, the trades, and all of the defense Farm work is much more tieing, requires projects. more staying power, more physical exertion than of other types of work, and because of economic conditions it pays the smallest wage in the cuntry today. Farm Youth Are Patriotic Farm youths are keenly conscious of the proper loyalty due their country. ITey do not want to be called slackers, so when the call is made for men for the armed forces, they are among the first to volunteer. Farm work isn't too tempting and it doesnt take much listen to influence what workers are left on the farms to the call of higher wages in the defense plants or to the adventures promised by recruiting officers. As the situation is developing, it may prove necessary before the war is over to draft workers for the farms. As it is now, it requires, in the opinion of many, as high a degree of patriotism for men to work on the farms under present conditions as it takes to work in the defense plants or to go into the armed forces of nine-tent- Drafting of key farm workers for (he armed forces of the country is daily making more'acute a problem which was already serious last summer. Commissioner Tracy Welling of the Utah State Agricultural Commission declared at a recent agricultural conference that something must be done to stop the drafting of key workers on farms. "If this is not done", he is quoted as saying, "a critical situation will rapidly become worse." Farm Work Requires Experience Some attention has been given by the national draft officials to this problem as was evidenced by the recent release of 1,000 farm workers who had already been drafted. Just how serious this situation may become is realized by very few people who are not actually For instance, in our own enraged in farm community last summer there was an accute shortage of farm help. Jinny women as well as an increasing number of children took part in the harvest. Many of them worked shifts entirely too long for their health. This is not an entirely now situation, however, as over the years women Lave taken a large part in picking, grading and picking fruits and vegetables from the time the berries come on in June until the last apples are shipped in the fall. Children have had a large pan in the harvest of small fruits, and in thinning of beets but there are certain types of farm work which neither children nor women are physically able to perform, he nfer to the management of farms and the planting, cultivation and irrigation of crops. A worker who understands this kind of work is hard to find, and especially is it difficult to find workers who are willing to work on a farm as many as IG hours a day, arm sometimes longer, at wages which farmers can afford to pay, when defense projects are offering twice and even five times as much, for shorter hours. Irrigators Difficult to Find In this arid section the irrigator is the most imare portant man on a farm and years of experience necessarv to qualify him for this particular work. Unless the irrigation of the crops is done properly crops may be lost and the farmer financially ruined, and thecountry deprived of essential foods. This is particu- hs the country. told the For every man at the front it takes many many workers on the home front to produce the munitions of war, and not the least important of these munitions is food. We cannot have food if the farmers are stripped of essential workers. Draft officials have stated that the local draft boards are in supreme control, under general regulation, of who is to be drafted and who is to be deferred. It is believed, however, that some of the boards are fearful that they will be criticized should any special defere-ment- s be made for farm help as a class. Locally, most country that has food will win emphatically the war. of our young men of eliirible aee have been, or in some way now are, connected with the farms, and many of them in key positions. There seems to be a tendency to furnish the quota which has been artifically set even though the farming industry may be seriously hit in order to meet the quota. Draft Boards Can Help It is hoped that draft boards throughout the farming areas of the country will realize that American farms are one of the most important sections of the entire war front and that they will be doing the country and the Allied cause more good by keeping these fronts well manned than they can by sending many key men into the armed forces. Isnt it both patriotic and wise to act on the problem for the good of the country irrespective of any local pride in living up to a standard quota? We believe the people and their responsible officials will strongly back such a policy. The time to act is now before the farms are entirely stripped of essential help and FLEISC II MANS YEAST Presents Whats My Name? lift M 1 We wish our many customers Orem These Prices Effective Wednesday, 3 Friday and Saturday, Dec.
