For Your . - OSMOND O.UORjGCVSest Responsibility for recruiting and supplymg farm laborers has been given to the Extension Service of the state agricultural colleges throughout the country. Utah has appointed G. Alvin Carpenter, extension economist, supervisor of this program, with O. O. Jorgensen, veteran of Woiid Wars I and II, as his assistant. Much of the spade work for the 1914 farm labor demands has already been done by these labor experts. Negotiations have been entered into with the Mexican government to supply this state with 1300 Mexican nationals during the next six months; with the War Relocation Authority for several hundred Japanese evacuees volunwith schools for 'teen-ag- e teers, and they have sent out appeals for help from groups. First of the Mexican contigent will arrive here about May 1 and the second group between May 10 and May 15. They will be assigned to the counties where the need is greatest. Foreign workmen will be housed in labor camps which are being operated by the Office of Labor with Lyman Roberts of Salt Lake City in charge. At the end of the season, the Mexicans will be returned to their native country and the Japanese will go back to the relocation centers. Farmers who need laborers during the planting, growing or harvesting seasons should make their applications early to the county extension agent's office. non-far- m Quality Tested Seeds - Dependable Seed, Rigidly Tested for Purity and Germination Racing, not by choice but by necessity, with a freight train of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad toward a railroad crossHot ing on the Nye's corner-Uta- h ChapWesley highway, Springs driver of a loadman, ed gasoline truck and trailer, miraculously escaped injury Sunday near midnight when his eauip- ment overturned on the new high-- , way. Mr. Chapman, wnose home is at Tremonton, was driving' northward a short distance from Nye's corner when he saw the train approaching the crossing about 200 feet ahead. He tried desperately to apply his sir brakes, but they didn't work. The only step left was to beat the southbound train to the crossing, and he used his gears to good advantage in the effort. At the crossing the driver barely avoided a collision and clipped blinker off the concrete-imbede- d signal as he switched to the right. that's' PORTER-WALTO- N Climatic Tested Seeds LAWN SEED PASTURE MIX o ask us about BUILDING MATERIAL and ROLL ROOFING SLOANE-BALBO- N DISHES RUGS and Heavy weight, long wearing A large assortment of colors.

World production of wool has been maintained at a relatively high level during the war years, but wool consumption has been sharply curtailed because important consuming countries in continental Euroi; and Japan have been unable to obtain wool supplies from the Southern Hemisphere. About of the 1943-4- 4 was owned by carry-i- n the British government, which will purchase the entire production of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa during the war and one wool year thereafter. Wool stocks in the United States and the Southern Hemisphere at the beginning of the 1944-4- 5 selling season are likely to be large, totaling about twice as much as after World War 1 in all positions. BUSY BIDDIES KEEP 'EM BUSY The rate at which the Nation's record population of laying hens has been responding to war food needs has kept officials of the War Food administration working overtime in an effort to stabilize markets that sagged badly when favorable weather caused the "biddies to step up production sharply above schedule. Stabilizing influences were evident in egg markets throughout the country by the second week in April after lower retail prices stimulated civilian consumption and WFA expanded its support-pric- e purchase program. Egg production during March dropped to near the goal levels with an output of 563.7 million dozens, only 4 per cent above March 1943. USDA LEADS IN BLOOD DONORS The department of Agriculture has received the first award given by the Red Cross to any government department for regularity and frequency of donations to the Blood Bank. A total of 5,925 members of the department have given blood. This means that from 1,200 to 1,500 American fighting men have given a better chance for life. Secretary Wickard himself a blood donor, reports that 41 members of the department have given eight or more pints of blood each. LU3D3ER SITUATION CRITICAL The War Production board has asked AAA committees to distribute the quarter lumber allocation of 250 million board feet for farm use with extra care because the lumber supply situation has taken a turn for the worse. Military needs will take 70 per cent of this year's lumber output, according to WPB. Shipping lumber alone, used chiefly for crating and packaging munitions and supplies, will require nearly half of all the lumber produced. The remainder must be divided among' mining and railroads, utilities, Page Seven BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER- - A Suggestion: Have Tonr FARM IMPLEMENTS REPAIRED NOW Why wait until you are ready 1 to use them H.

Utah has been given a quota of feet of softwood h lumber for the period. Farmers needing lumber construction exfor cluding dwellings, may apply to an local AAA committees for AA-- 2 rating for the number of board feet needed. FCA OFFERS SUGGESTIONS To offset the boom trend in land values, the Farm Credit administration has drafted a set of suggestions on the buying and selling of farm land during war time. Buyers are advised to (1) incur farm purchase indebtedness in keeping with the farm's productive capacity in terms of normal prices, because present commodity prices will probably be adjusted downward after the war; (2) to pay premiums in cash if premiums must be paid for farms; (3) to use proceeds of better prices not to reduce future debts, and to build reserves in War Bonds. Sellers are urged to remember that the average buyer has only one way of paying for the land from farm income; if the debt is larger than the farm can carry in normal years, the farm may have to-- be returned. FARMERS BETTER INFORMED THIS TIME Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard told the House on Agricultural Appropria"The AAA and tions recently: the work it is doing is very essential not only to the conservation of the Nations resources, but for helping farmers to plan thei'r activities so that they make the maximum contribution ...
