The quota assigned Box Elder county was $16,500, Call said. Of this, the county chapter of the Red Cross was allowed to retain on 30.3 per cent for carrying Red Cross functions in Box Elder county. The first $1,000 collected above the quota, according to American Red Cross policy, is retained entirely for the work of the Red Cross in the county. Then all above $1,000 over the quota goes 65.7 per cent to the National headquarters and 4 3 per cent is retained in the county. So, in total, the Red Cross War Fund drive netted $5,000 plus $1,057.30, or $7,057.30 for the Box Elder county chapter's own work for the coming year, and $13,525.22 has been sent to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross to help carry on the Red Cross work around the world. Expenses for the campaign deducted from total collections were exactly nothing, Call declared.

Vosco Call, chairman of the drive announced today. "Our county went over the top 24.5 per cent," Call Killed Thursday d. COMPLIMENTS TELEPHONE COMPANY Several meetings have been held over the county to explain to farmers just how they can secure Mexican help. Too few of our farmers have attended these affairs, to warrant the importation of as many Mexicans as will be needed. It is unfortunate that more interest has not been manifested. When the time comes to do the work many farmers will shout to high heaven that the papers had misled them ,to believe plenty of farm help would be available. These farmers will only have themselves to blame if they have not attended the labor meetings, and had the manner in which they can secure their farm help explained to them. A positive statement to all farmers who expect or need farm help should be made to clarify the manner in which they can get these Mexican Nationals to aid them. It should be understood by the farmers that only Mexicans that are "signed up" for by them will be brought into the county. To those who believe all that is necessary to secure farm help is to come to the two county camps, load up the Mexicans they need, and then dump them back into the camp at the completion of certain rush beet or tomato season, and leave the rest of the management for the slack season work to the Labor association, it should be made clear that this idea is entirely wrong. Mr. Holmgren further explained ,the workings of the association by saying that if the farmer has no housing facilities to keep his Mexicans, he can leave them at one of the two county camps, Tremon-to- n or Willard, which happens to be the handiest for him, BUT, the farmer is responsible for the number of men he expects to use and must sign a contract to secure that help. He can arrange with his neighbors to employ his Mexicans during periods of time when his work is fully done, and thereby employ the help at least 75 of the working days. There are at least 2000 farm boys of this county now in the Armed Services of the United States. We have about 250 Japanese that have moved into our county since Pearl Harbor, and labor leaders are aware that farmers will need at least 400 Mexicans to replace the boys who have left our county. The Labor association can only provide guiding leadership in this matter, and farmers must do their part in signing up for the help they will need.

The farmers of Box Elder county have been urged to produce ten thousand acres of Sugar beets in 1944. According to County Agent Stewart, an urgent telephone request came to him this week from an Agricultural government official urging the farmers to do all possible to produce a large acreage, of beets. of our Allies, especially Many Russia are badly in need of more sugar sugar, and a call from our own government has expressed a need for much greater amounts for defence needs in the forms of drugs, alcohol, munitions, etc. All of the sugar beet seed to be used in the county this year, Mr. Stewart states, will be sheared or segmented seed. This will make the thinning operation easier and quick er; one or more thinning machines, several topping machines; and perhaps near one dozen loading will be used in the county on the sugar beet crop this year. Also Mexican Nationals, Japanese, Indian and school student help is being obtained, and mobolized carefully to get the furm work ma-chi- ea done.
