FARM WORK FOR WINIER-A correspondent
writing from! Marshall county Illinois ON the sub
ject OF an article under this title, says "Why don't
the laboIers come West, instead Of crowding back
to the city 10 starye:" The writer says:
Good hands can get Sl2 to SIC a month all win
ter. Hands now get Sl.25 day and board for
huSklnS corn, and but few TO be had at that. And
yet there are thousands of men and women idle
and starving in your city, least suffering for
the necessaieS of life. Western farmers would have
no hesitation in advancing money, when necessa-
ry, TO pay the passage of such wish to come to
the West to laboI-if they could have anv asssr-
rance that they would receive justice at the hands
OF those whom they were trying to help by bring.
ing them where they could get plenty to do, and
fair compensation for it. Now the question arises
can this assurance be given. If SO, | will be on
hand for eight OF ten 1nen-two or three of them
might have families.
Female labor is scarce as that of males if
not more So and demand from ST. so to 81 80 y
week. There is no fear of orerstocking the mar
ket here with hands until the Eastern mark ct ia
glutted with grain. So long wheat and corn will
pay the producer 100 per cent. profit he will over
do the work himself The farmers of Illinois have
been behind with their work for nearly twelve
years. and they expose themselves to the inclem-
ency of the weather, trying to make up for lost
time but they never will, without more help as
long they get from thirty to sixty cents per
bushel for corn, and 81 to 81 50 for wheat We
have the best corn crop this year that we have had
for five or six years, and much more planted than
Ill any previous season. Farmers are SO behind
hand that there is but little Fall wheat raised in
this part of the State"
