Farm Labor Shortage Continues Throughout War Year
Washington reports the wartime farm labor shortage persists with no outlook for improvement this year. Veterans and war workers have not returned to farms in large numbers, leaving over five million former farm workers displaced. Government efforts include recruiting veterans, mobilizing women and youth, and bringing in about seventy five thousand foreign workers to fill seasonal needs.

In the Iowa Creamery Operators association contest held last Wednesday at St Olaf Arno Neverman Luana took first with Jack Goltz Monona second and E C Riser Ossian Milton Wild Church Don Overbeck Garnaville Maynard Fjelstul Waukon and L L Lehman Elgin tied for third in the scoring. In the butter judging Lehman and Goltz tied for first while Overbeck Neverman and Pagel were second and Riser and Francis Giblin Ossian were third. Judges were F L Sires A C Hogan and A L Mescher. Arrivals before making extensive purchases the PMA reported Saturday. Foreign wools showed spotty activity with further distress selling of Cape wools near cost. Australian fine wools with 3 percent or less vegetable matter could be sold at full ceiling prices. Australian deliveries against orders for over 450 000 000 pounds for import to the U S since last August are now expected to be about 60 percent. With future availability of clear fine foreign wools very uncertain some topmakers may be forced to buy more domestic wools.
