MARRIED MEN WANTED Lafayette, IndT”™- «-’ndiana| farmers are facing a labor shortage now, although it is not acute at this time, accord tag to W. B. Brumflel, e the Purdue University extension staff farm help’ specialist for Indiana. Single men find difficulty in obtaining jobs, but the heaviest demand is for experienced married farm hands, he eadd. Farmers are offering good wages for well qualified men, besides pro-i viding a house, cow, horse for driving purposes, truck patch and garden and privilege of raising chickens. Frequently they also includes hog or two for meat. “There is a marked tendency now to attract and keep good men on the farms," said Mr. Brumfiel. “In many cases the farmer offers extra inducements to hold men who suit him. An increase in wages, a yearly bonus and a share in the profits are all being practiced now in this state. Every' county agricultural agent in the state is giving assistance in placing men on farms. The U. S. Empioyment service through its branch offices in larger towns and cities has a special department devoted to farm needs and its growing as laborers and farmers become familiar with it.
