The Office of Labor Is calling
the attention of farmers who em
ploy labor to the fact that a limit
of $2400 per year has been set
bv the government on farm wage
rates. Figured on an hourly basis

Gat Out Your Bait
Young earwigs are now hatch

thoroughly and repeatedly. Most
effective control is obtained be

wood piles, or other places
where earwigs may hide. Since
earwigs are night feeders the
bait should be applied in late
evening. C. B. Cordy .

each will control its own votes."
