THE
Farmers Resourceful
In Labor Shortage
(Continued from page 1)
manpower requirements.
Change Farming Practises
More acreage turned over to graz
ing and a pronounced swing to
dairying and poultry raising with
an accompanying elimination of sea
sonal labor peaks has been evident
in this section.
Other developments in the nature
of supplanting manpower with ma
chinery include addition of such
equipment as was available on the
restricted market and supplementing
this by pooling of the mechanical
resources of the neighborhood simi
lar to pooling of manpower in the
threshing ring.
These measures, together with em
plowment of custom work to a great
er degree has gone far toward meet
ing the situation.
Many Single Handed
With army requirements and de
fense industry draining off all sur
plus manpower, farmers thruout this
section are faced with the necessity
of handling harvests with their
normal labor supply and in many in
stances single handed.
Some farmers are receiving aid
from their families with younger
children working during the day in
the fields while those older employed
in industrial establishments help in
the morning and evening.
Because of the press of farm work
the greater part of the cherry crop
was let out for picking on the shares,
or remained unpicked on the trees.
Pool Resources
Adoption of farming practises re
quiring a minimum of peak labor
requirements together with pooling
of mechanical labor saving equip
ment are seen by farmers here as
the solution to the shortage of man
power which promises to become in
creasingly severe.
With these conditions becoming
more pronounced, it is expected that
the labor factor will become the
principal governing facor in plan
ning of farm operations, with other
considerations occupying a place of
secondary consideration.
Triplett Plays Lima
Robins Here Friday
Triplett softball team will play one
home game and one on a foreign dia
mond in the next week’s schedule.
Resuming play after a two-weeks’
layoff, the team will tangle with
Lima Robins at 7 p. m. Friday at
Harmon field. Timer Spaeth likely
will get the starting mound call for
the locals in the tilt.
In their second out-of-town game
of the season, the Triplett team will
journey to Leipsic next Monday.
Leipsic was defeated earlier in the
season in a game here by a score
1 of 7 to 1.
Coming home tilts include contests
with Tiffin Routh Packers, Lima
Westinghouse and Lima Loco.

decade. The boom started in 1938
when eight new residences were
built. In 1939 five mqre K$re added
and kin 1940 an all time high in
building was reached when 14 new
residences were constructed. Last
year there were nine new houses

pair and improvement rather than
new construction.
