WASHINGTON. — The Depart
ment of Agriculture believes .the
nations farm labor force has just
about reached its peak unless
there is a serious depression—and
it says that doesn't seem likely in
the near future.
The department said a survey
disclosed that the flow of veterans
back to the farm already had I
started to taper off. Veterans were
chiefly responsible for a "net in-
crease of 500,000 in the farm labor
force since V-J day.
"With the continuation of select-
ive service and with the peacetime
Army and Navy larger than in pre-
war years, some return of men
from the armed forces to farhi
Work Will continue," it said.
"However, their return will be
at a much slower rate as the period'
of rapid demobilization is past.
Further increases in employment
of veterans on farms are not likely
to be large as long as nonfarm em-
ployment opportunities are good."
The department added, however,
that veterans are returning to the
land in much greater numbers
than those farmers who took de-
fense jobs during the war. This
was attributed to a reluctance to
give up relatively high industrial
wage rates. «
War Workers Hold Back
"A study by-the bureau of labor
statistics covering 2,000 workers
who formerly worked in war plants
showed that only, three per cent
were working on farms six months
after V-J day although 13 per cent
had engaged in farming before the
war," it said.
On the other hand, two thirds
of the farm workers who left for
the armed forces were back at
their old jobs.
On July U,the department said,
more than 11,586,000 persons were
working on farms in this country
or more than 500,000 more than a
year earlier.
"This represented at least a tem-
porary halt to the wartime de-
crease in agricultural employment
which averaged about 150,000 a
year between 19-10 and 19-15," it
said. "The average decrease from
.1910 to 1039 had been only about
•15,0001 a year."
Actually the number of veterans
working on farms during the year
ending July I rose more than S00.-
000. The increase was offset >ome-
what. however, by the loss of some
300,000 other farm workers, includ-
ing women, over-age men and for-
eign workers.
The department said increases
in the number of veterans working
on farms may have a particularly
important effect on the hired labor
force. Most returning veterans are
working : as hired hands rather
than operating their own farms.
There also has been a sharp
postwar increase in the number
who live on the farm but work in
the city. •
"Crowded housing conditions in
cities and the greater availability
of gasoline and tires have been
factors in the increased movement
to farms," the department said.
"Families who move to farms
just to get some place to live in-
crease the total population living
on farms. However, they do not in-
crease the number of persons

recent reduction in the cost of
their electric service and in the same-
breath ask "how can you do it in
the face of higher costs?"
That is a logical question. Facts
are that housewives like to use
electric service - and have been
using it in increasing quantities.
The increased volume of business,
together with savings resulting
from technical progress and lower
costs of capital have enabled us to
make the reduction.
In return^we say "thanks for your
increased use" - electric service is
one of the few items in the house-
hold budget which costs less titan
before the war.
