NEW YORK FARMS
WILL PRODUCE
' . ' . y . . - .
L CROP
Albanq, IS. 1. Farmers of New
York state will product their normal
contribution to the nation's food sup
ply this season if the farmers are will
ing to pay the high wages demanded
by farm labor, say officials of the
State Department of Farms and 'Mar
ket. These officials! express.: the be
lief that the farmers are'heginnins to
realize that their products will com
mand high prices next fall and that
this will induce tiiem ro pay high
writes to laborers and , to plant at
lrast as many acres as in former
years. . . v -
The farm workers will be found,
say department officials, when the
f nrnier is willing to pay them ihe
wages they want. The problem of the
farmer is the cost of labor rather'
than shortage, they declare. Woods
men who have been working in - the
lagging camps during the winter are
spected to go on tbe farms in the
summer. Besides, say state officials,
the annual "back to the land migra
tion from the cities should help to
relieve the labor situation Men. who
have lien lured from the rural commu
nities and tomns by th.e higher wages
offered in shop and factory begin to
long for onf dooififeeThe JwafS"
days come, thef say, and !itt)e cftnxihg
is needed to make them exchange
their work on their bench or machine
for open speacs of field and meadow.
Planting has been delayed but this
is attributed mostly to unfavorable
weather conditions. There wasv diffi-.
culty early in the spring in obtaining
seed, fertilizer, farm implements and
machinery but the state offidials say
thpsf cnTriTnnrHHpsi have Tipot snnnlied .
7 11 I
as a result of efforts: of the Depart-
ment of Farms and. Markets in co
operation with railroad officials.
Expectation that the Nw York state
farmer will see his duty and do it
this year is based in part upon his
record in 1917 and 1918 when farm
laborers of the draft age were in the
army. The state officials say that the
farmer never before faced isnch aija
bor shortage but, nevertheless, these
wpre banner yars in'crop production
in Xw York state as wrell a3 for the
hank balances for the farmers. They
declare that if the farmer will . pay
the wages demanded he will receive
this year bigger profits- than ever be
fore. '
