M. c. a. employment bureau, "on the spot". Phillips admits tnat he occupies the proverbial place located be tween the person of his satanic ma jesty and the deep, dark Blue, sea. unusual weatner conditions nave caused the ripening of the prune and bop crops almost simultane ously and If the weather continual normal, then will be a shortage oi pickers,' On the other hand, It Phillips favorably answers countless letters relative to employment in the hop fields and prune orchards, and the weather turns rainy, there will be a surplus of destitute families In the district. Both conditions he seeks to avoid. Pears and peaches, together with the early hops, have practically ab sorbed the class known aa agricul- tral workers, and requests for pick ers of everygreen berries cannot be filled. Many people are waiting lor the hop and prune harvest and do not want to trouble with the ber ries. If Phillips advises people to come to the district and wet weather follows there will be hordes of unemployed and non-selfsupport- lng people. If Phillips tells them not to come and the weather re mains favorable, there will not be sufficient people on hand to harv est the crops ana he win be criti cised.
