July 20--A crisis faces the stockmen of the county, it appears from evidence presented last week when a group met in the county judge's office to discuss ways and means of getting the 1944 harvest ing accomplished. The stockmen say they are finding it impossible to get hayhands and many are about to despair of getting their crops harvested. They have canvassed every available resource, they claim, and without results. Val Becker, Westfall, has 1500 tons of hay in the field and 200 acres of grain to harvest. He has only one man and all efforts to en large hia crew have so far failed. He said Wednesday that he will be compelled to sell his cattle if he can not get his crops harvested so to have feed for next winter. Senator J. N. Jones. Juntura. was also in town Wednesday, trying to get help lined up for his extensive holdings at Juntura. The importation of Mexican and Japanese labor into the county, which has alleviated to a large ex tent the plight of the row crop farmer, has not been of any mater ial help to the stockmen, they say, since the newcomers are not fam il iar with horses and their handling, nor with machinery, and they don't make good haymen, although they are doing an excellent Job with the handwork required of row crops. An effort to replace local help on row crop farms with Mexicans and Japanese, in order to release the more experienced men for work in th hayfields, died aborning when a survey revealed that about the only experienced haymen left in the country are already engaged in haying. A dollar-and-cents roof has been placed over alfalfa hay.
