      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  Seedtime and harvest have  always been the peak seasons for farm labor, whether done  by men and horses or by men and machines; and the  approximate dates of these activities are of vital concern  to many.  But now, with war pressing hard upon our whole  economic life, they become of even more critical immediate  import.  The plans of farmers, farm laborers, employment  agencies, transportation systems, markets, and commercial  concerns that buy and sell in farm areas are often drawn  with the harvest seasons particularly in mind.  Now, more  than ever before, we need to take account of such  circumstances if we are to attain that full production  which is our goal.  A marked present departure from past  conditions during these seasons has to do with farm  laborers and their families.  Here, again, war, with its  drain on manpower for all purposes, adds emphasis to a  peacetime trend.  Several circumstances, even before this  country entered the war, had reduced the need for laborers  in farm planting and harvesting work in which vast numbers  were formerly employed.  This publication takes special  note of these changed conditions.},
