An acute shortage of farm labor is in prospect when spring work gets under way. This is due chiefly to the great activi- ty of industries such as mining, lum- bering, building, and imm&liate pros- pects of much construction work on the railroads and highways, as well as increased activities in other enter- prises than farming. In the above work, wages are higher than the farmer .can afford to pay under the present inequalities existing between the prices for farm products and other commodities. The demand is probably slightly less than last year at the present higher scale of wages, and is 87 per cent of normal. Farmers cannot pay war -time wages, and will curtail op- erations before the do. An abundant supply of farm labor at reasonable wages would insure a very heavy de- mand from our farmers this year, but the outlook is anything but bright for the farmer in Montana.
