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.
