Heretofore the farm labor problem on Long Island has been largely han- dled by professional farm labor bu: reaus in fiifl York - who - collected drifting labor, of all sorts, in the city and carted it out on order, with the expectation that it would return in a short time to be carted out again. During the last two years the Farm Bureaus and the State Employment has been no real co-ordinated plan. This year all applications received by the main office of the free employ- ! ment bureaus, which cannot be filled locally will be cleared through Mine- (ola. Close connections will be main- tained there with all the state and | federal offices in New York and spe- cial effort will be made to fill orders promptly. In addition the men who are obtained: will be examined with regard to their mbility so that, while - the service will not be able -to guaran- | tee those they send out, farmers and | em can be amsured that an carnest effort will be made to sult : the men to the job. thin nmngomn': have thbul: been ma assure st possible su iy of farm labor from outside, £ ree em brmnt service is specially anxious to ive up to its slogan, \ \ Island jobs for Long Inland people. | Residents of Long Island who are | will to do farm . work incl-nit?
