County Extension Office Handles Farm Labor Applications
Hillis Moffett County Extension Agent says farm labor is now administered through the County Extension Office. With seasonal hiring for the coming crop year, demand for laborers will exceed supply again in 1947, so farmers should file applications now. The U S Employment Service directs all applications to the Extension Office, which then forwards them to interested farmers for interviews.
