Commercial - Crop Loss Nominal in 1943 Due to Lack of Harvest Labor : Oregon can look back upon the harvest season now practical ly ended with the satisfaction of knowing that only very nominal crop losses occurred as the result of failure of farmers to obtain sufficient labor, reports T R. Beck, state supervisor of the emer gency farm labor service in the extension service.- -' - Spme losses because of weather conditions occurred and ' a few from labor shortages, but, taking the state as a whole all crops ex cept In scattered instances were harvested as the result of the whole-hearted cooperation of men. women and children in Oregon and the aid given by Mexicans brought into certain counties. By Novembe 1, when all crops with the exception of a few sugar beets in eastern Oregon and some cannery root crops in western Oregon had been harvested, summary of farm labor place ments showed that a total of 166,- 923 harvest jobs had been filled through the efforts of the US em ployment service and the exten sion ' service operating jointly, Beck reported. Broken-down by classes of workers, the figures showed 77,542 jobs filled with adult .men, including Mexicans; 32,618 jobs taken by boys 18 years and under; 25,042 jobs for which adult women were supplied, and 31,723 by girls 18 years , and un der. These exceed last year's fig ures by a wide margin. The figures included many du plicates as far as individual work ers were concerned, but they rep resent the number of different jobs filled - by the two agencies, Many additional ones were filled by direct contact between farm ers and those whom they hired and of which no accurate records are available. w In announcing the statistical summary and the successful con clusion of Oregon's harvest sea son, Beck paid a high tribute to the cooperation of the scores of organizations and civic bodies, business men, and city dwellers in general who performed invaluable farm work this summer, . fre quently at personal sacrifice of their own convenience, to help out with this essential wartime work. The entire public school system also cooperated heartily, and sup plied many men and women who devoted full time to organizational work, particularly with youth. Fertilizer Study Planned Vegetable growers in Marion county will be particularly inter ested in a series of meetings ar ranged to discuss fertilizer, accor ding to W. G. Nibler," county ag ent. With a shortage of commer cial fertilizers and the introduction of several new types of fertilizer materials, these meetings have been arranged to discuss the prob lems of commercial fertilizer and soil fertility. - S Any problems farmers have re garding use of fertilizer on their farms or problems of soil fertili ty are to be discussed at the meet ing, according to Nibler. On De cember 1 a meeting will be held at the Stay ton city hall, starting at 1:30. On the evening of Decem ber 1, a meeting will be held at the Jefferson city hall starting at 8:00 o'clock. A meeting will be held at the Woodburn city hall in the afternoon starting at 1:30 De cember 2. Although the information at these meetings will be of parti cular interest to commercial vege table growers who are the largest users of commercial fertilizer, ber ry growers, hop growers and oth ers using commercial fertilizer will be interested in this information. The discussion will not be limited to commercial fertilizers but will cover all phases of soil fertility, particularly handling of barnyard manure and use of legumes and other straw and crop residue. Art King, extension specialist in soils from the Oregon : State college will lead the discussion at these meetings.; ' . ,.f "l ! Parents Attend Scout .

Reasons for the brightened pic- I ture: cut-backs in ordnance pro grams, sharp decline in building activity, better utilization of pres ent labor. The fear of losing war contracts has aroused community pressure against the tendency of big plants to over-rate their esti mated manpower needs.
