~~ TIME NOT RIPE Mg Leey - SBAORDAY, JUNE 9p. 1007." TO TAKE PUBLIC INTO CONFIDENCE Commissioner of Agriculture andj Labor Says Harvest Hand Contract Is Incomplete BELIEVES AGREEMENT WILL PREVENT STRIFE “The agreement entered into be- tween the committee of which I was a member, representing North Dako- ia, and representattives of the Agri- cultural Workers’ Union, at Kansas City, is not yet fully complete and| nothing could be accomplished by making it public now,” said Commis- sioner of Agriculture and Labor John; N. Hagan today when. asked for a def- inite statement as to what the con- tract is which President A. C. Town- Jey of the Nonpartisan league will ask members of his organization to| ratify in meetings to’ be:held the sec- ‘ond week in July at Minot, Valley City and Bismarck. i Term ot, Public “T can. state,” said Mr. . Hagan, “that the terms reported by the In- dustrial Worker, organ of.the Indus- trial Workers of the World, in its report of the Kansas City meeting of the Agricultural, Workers’ union are not the terms of the agreement which we have under», consideration,, Our sole effdrt is to supply an abundance of skfllqd, farm, Jabor' for) the harvest gotiating” withthe: tty ers’ union’/wel hdpd ito avoid -troable which has ‘been ‘common ‘in ‘other years where there was no general agreement between the farmer ‘and the harvest hand. We hope to pre- vent the concentration of workers in one place which has occurred in oth- er years. Our plan is to ship the workers direct from the point where they may be delivered to us to the point where they are to be employed. Only by handling the problem as we propose to do can we get the reduced transportation charges which are ad- visable. Up to the Farmer “The farmer may not approve the agreement when presented to him. If he does not,, we. will strive to go on furnishing, labor as.wq have done up to the present time. To date we have met, every’ demand made on us, but thebe demands have’ been light as compared with what they will be later on.”'This, department does not favor employing high school boys as farm laborers. They have not the experi- ence in the first place; in the se ond‘ place, they cannot be expected to stand the hard work ( Confident of Protection “Iam confident that the farmer if he.accepts the agreement with the agricultural workers’ union upon which we. are working will have no labor troubles. The union men will be, as much bound by their bargaiin, as well the farmer by-him. I am sat-j ished) with, what we: saw of the union headquarters at Kansas City. that they can; make good their promises.” JUST OUT (New 5 Color) WYOMING OIL MAP Shows correct location of every oil field in the state. * Most complete map published.

SYSTEMATIC PLANS NEEDED Six Hundred Million Dollars’ Worth of Eatables Could Be Added to Na- tion’s Supply in Year, It Is Declared. The statement that has been made by those in a position to know that the poultry products of the United States could be doubled within a year means that if everybody ina position to ‘help did their part six hundred million dollars’ worth of food would ‘be added to our supply this year, say Uncle Sam’s experts in the department of ugriculture. This includes both meat for the ta- ble‘and eggs: Very few farmers prac- tice a systematic plan of disposing of their fowls after they haye ceased to be’ productive, these experts say, al- though: it is well known that, fowls of. the, heavier breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to produce a profitable number of eggs at the end of their second laying year, and-that this holds true of the lighter breeds, such as the, Leghorns, at the end of their third laying year. Consequent- ly, if efforts were made to dispose of all females when their best laying days were over a large quantity of poultry meat would be placed on the market, All poorly developed chickens should likewise be culled out and used as meat. ‘This way of disposing of un- profitable fowls would allow the farm- er to feed his grain to younger and nore productive fowls. \ Fattening Chickens for Market. Caponizing the cockerels. that, are not intended for breeding purposes will not only increase their size but will place a more desirable poultry meat on the market. Another practice that should be adopted more widely, it is declared, is that.of fattening all chickens thatygre to besmarketed be- fore they leave the farm, ‘This,ean be Nothing Can Stop Carson Declares ‘Local N ewspaper a Carson, N.

They willcome J} to.market thensin*better condition and the fariner will reéeive a profit for their added weight. The greater production of turkeys, ducks, geese and guineas, all of which can be profitably raised and a ready market found in most sections, would increase the supply of poultry meat | lerably. The production of ducks. ‘ially should be emphasized at this time it is urged, because of the rapidity with which they grow. Ducks of most of the meat breeds, properly ‘fed and mitnaged, frequently weigh from five to six pounds at ten weeks of age. It is estimated by poultry- men making a specialty of growing ducks that the feed cost per pound of producing duck meat ranges from eight to twelve cents. : Increasing Supply of Eggs. The number of marketable eggs can be increased by following a few prac- | tical suggestions.. Among the most im- portant of these are the production ‘of the infertile egg after the breeding season is over, and the proper handling of eggs by the farmer before sending them to market. The infertile egg is obtained when all male birds are re- moved from the flock. This does not decrease. the number of eggs ‘produced, but it does incrense greatly their keep- ing qualities. The production of the infertile egg and the proper handling and marketing of eggs by the producer 4 would increase tremendously the num- ber of marketable eggs each year by diminishing the quantity that are rem dered unfit for food, BIG DRAIN FINISHED Kauffman Project Will Reclaim Large Tract of Land ‘ —+ Hillsboro, N.
