Country Editors Set Skids Under- Farm Labor Ogre

ST. PAUL. April 28—(AP) — Minnesota, thanks to the Goodhue Plan. is prepared to face the farm labor program,

Last January while farm leaders anxiously watched defence indus- tries and the armed forces recruit an lncreasin number of the men farmers ooun d on to hel during peak seasons, a. country tor de- cided to do something aout it.

Remembering a similar ex - ience during the First Great ar. L. E. Cook, editor of the Goodhue County ‘rribune, and his associ- ates decided to act before an ac- tual shorta e occurred. ‘Ihey cal- led a meetiig oi Goodhue village people and proposed a registration service for prospective farm hands. Twwnfolk would operate the service on a volunteer basis, serving u a liaison between the farmer; 5nd the workers.

The proposal met an instant en- thusiasth: response and all of - co-operation, agreeing not only to help with the registration but to offer their services on farms if n ,

ccessary.

During the, First Great War Bd- itor Cook had conducted a similar venture on his own hock. This time he decided to call upon the state office of the U. S. em loy- ment service for assistance. us began a movement which has spread to a5 communities in Minne- srtata. and many others in nearby s ates.

Government Aid

"Beginning with the develop- ment ln Goodhue last January," said Leonard J. Ryan, of St. Paul, dirccior of the United States employment services in Minnesota. “the U. s. employment services is in the midst of developing a placement agenc that will cover the entire agric tural area oi state so that any farmer who wants he] during the spring, summer or fal , will get service lf he contacts his local U. S. employment of-

ce.

"Already 85 communities have organized 0.1 a volunteer farm lacement basis along the lines oi he Goodhue p'ain. Each local office in charge oi a represen- tative citizen who under direction will serve
