Canada-Wide crop Decline Effects Harvest Labour Force

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

lhe. effects of a cold. wet sprint: Riltl adu-isc summer growing con- riilions in many parts of Canada mi; year are becoming apparent now in the harvest labor force.

with some exceptions, crops are below last year's yield. In many nieas. slow growth has pushed hor- Wmng beyond last year's dates, and farmers fear fall frosts may iiitiier lower (I18 Yield-

A smaller labor movement, es- peclally between provinces, will be seen this fall for two main reasons . grnpg will not be as heavy and many areas will use PFOSDECHVC harvest helpers to alleviate local unninploymznt problems.

MECHANIZATION A moron

The swing in mechanization nn Faiiariian farms has further re- lllCCd the demand for unskilled la- Vil'. Help mainly in demand Is ex- prricnced combine operators. truck ind tractor drivers. There is little lemand for ordinary harvest labor.

On the nther hand. the national -mploymcnt office In Ottawa rc- . ts an ample suply of farm 13- Imi-, more than has been available I4il' some yrars.

About 1.500 harvesters will mow into the prairie provinces If pres-

ent crop estimates do not change. or 200 less than last year. Alberta has asked for 750 men. Saskatche- wan. 500, and Manitoba 250.

The reduction is chiefly due to the situation in Saskatchewan, the largest grain-producing province, Ottawa reported. Much of the crop in the northeast section of the province was spoiled by rust. and the provincial government is plan- ning to move men and equipment from that area to other parts of the province as they are needed.

Wages in the three prairie prov- inces will average about S7 to S8 at day for field workers. with exper- ienced and skilled workers making considerably more.

HARVESTING DELAYED

Because of the late spring seed- ing. farmers generally are not ask- ing for help until about Sept. 7. although employment offices have asked workers to arrive about Sept. 1. Manitoba reports some scattered harvesting already in progress. and expects it to be general by the be- ginning of the month.

Harvesting is expected to be spread over a longer period titan ustial. because of staggered spring planting.

Much of the Okanagan lruit har- vest during the last two weeks of September will be gathered by women and students. Pay will be slightly less than last year.

Ontario farm employment offl- cials report that about 750 workers will come into Ontario to help with the harvest. about 100 more than last year. Of these. about 250 will come from the Maritimes and 500 from the west.

SLIGHT SURPLU5

Many come into Ontario regu- larly to work on the tobacco crop. I and this year officials report a slight labor surplus in southeast Ontario.

Quebec reports that demand for farm labor so far has been slight. but officials expect it to pick up . when the harvest season develops in a few weeks.

Employment service officials in the Maritimes report no outside help will be brought in. Local fa- cilities for meeting farm labor needs have increased. and this ocupled with reduced demands for help for other parts of Canada. will assure enough workers for present estimated needs.

The two major crops requiring harvest laborers are apples and potatoes. Weather conditions dur- ing the next month will decide the condition of the potato crop, and how many workers will be needed. if the weather remains favorable, the requirements are expected to be the same as in 1953.

A brighter picture was painted for apple crops in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley than in 1953. With hopes for a large crop. it is ex-
