operation of the IUnited States I)o-<
partnient of Agriculture in obtaining
enough bilnders to hItndle the crop.
Similar assisanc~ last year was im
mensely h.eneticial, and an earlier

this time. The fields look fine, and'
there is pIrospect of a; splllliid crop.
provided enough harvest labo r can be
ohtalnied The outlook is for labor
scarcity, with the further probability
thit higher wages wilt be demanded.
The growers' return is considered a
problem even by the experts in the
business. A good price was obtained
last year. but some of the crop is still
on hand. 1 lie greatest retarding fa;i

line will require the organization of'
co-operation beiween a number of the
interests involved. Agitation along:
that line already has been started.
The usual practice has been for th 1
growers to begin the season by fixing'
a price for the staple which they uo.
