Wages for Furni Labor to Be Uni
form. A meeting of the Labor Committee
of the Morrow County Agricultural
Council was held In the office of the
county agent Saturday evening April
6. This committee is made up at pre
sent of R. W. Turner, president of the
County Council, C. E. Jones and W.
B. Barratt of Heppner, C. R. Pointer
of Lexington, W. F. Palmateer of
Morgan, and Jack Hynd of Ceccil.
Other members will be added to this
committee as the need arises.
O. H. Baldwin, Assistant Farm
Help Specialist of the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture, was present and aftei
discussing what had been and was be
ing done In other counties to relieve
the shortage of labor advised, with
the committee regarding plans for
i lie harvest season.. Baker, Union.
'Viillowa, Sherman, Gilliam, counties
have each set $60 as the wage for
common farm labor. Arrangements
are being made to furlough the far
mer boys in the training camps for
thirty day periods and place them
where they will be of most help to
the farmers. Mr. Baldwin stated that
there were hundreds of men waiting
for a chance to go to work in the ship
yards but that they cannot be used.
The federal office In Portland is try
ing to induce those suitable for farm
work to go into those counties where
the labor shortage is most serious.
County Agent Brown outlined a
plan for enlisting the business and
professiosal men of the towns in an
emergency working reserve for liar
vest. Mayor Stncnd who was present
thought a plan for voluntary enlist
ment would be better than an ordin
ance closing non-essential business
houses during that period. Meetings
will be held in each town to give ev
eryone an opportunity to enlist.
Believing that a lack of understan
ding between farmers has been one
of the chcif sources of unrcsi among
the farm help and to subsequent loss
of time through changing employers,
the committee urges that farmers and
farm help get in touch with the near
est member, obtain reliable informa
tion and stop the rumors that are go
ing around. They also recommend;
that sixty dollars per month be adop
ted as the average wage for common
labor in Morrow county; that Far
mers cooperate more closely rather
than compete with each other in se
curing farm help and in planting of
crops; and that the farmers and farm
help co-operate with this committee
in every way possible to render the
most effective service to our nation.

Just as the clear surface of a quiet pool"
mirrors the image above it so does this
marvelous instrument reflect with com

not once has the New Kduson failed to
