EXTENSION NEWS.
Total war dominates the farm out
look for 1943, states Harold Rice,
District Extension Agent. All pro
duction, farm and non-farm, must
help win victory. Prices through
out the States will be determined
less by \<t ere the products are sold
and more by governmental control.
In general, they will have a re
flection on the prices that will be
paid here, If present trends con
tinue, agriculture will probably
lose a million workers from its
labor force between July 1, 1942,
and July 1, 1943. To produce the
needed a mt of agricultural pro
duce dur’ 1943, it is extimated
that we o'11 need 200,000 more
workers ^hrou^hout the United
States tl an were available during
1942. T1 : Manpower Board and the
Secretai” of Agriculture, Claude
Wickard, have been in conference
trying to control available man
power so • s to keep up our produc
tion thro Ohout 1943. The farmers
in the 'Hr- • anuska .Valley should make
special effort during 1943 to keep
individu; 1 production records on
all cows so that eliminations nay
be mode o^ a definite basis. With
the lack f feed available in the
Matanuskr Valley at this time no
farmer can afford to keeo boarders.
Farm pric-'s. should be good again
this seat n. Plans should be made
now for your farm program and the
amount of labor that will be needed
to accomrll.sh your results.

Too many farmers feel that the easy
money poured into this Valley by
the Government, is being used to
pay salaries and administrative
costs that could be materially re
duced or dispensed with. We can
own our own credit system based on
the Cooperative ider, and run it for
bur inter sts nd build for t'-« fut- f
ure.
