Several of our county exchanges are COM
planning Of the scarcity of farm hands, which
is at present almost unprecedented. In the
counties of Queen Anne and Somerset
is the scarcity Of labor particularly marked.
Such as can be obtained demand wages that
the average farmer cannot pay, and in many
instances even when hired cannot be trust
ed, and the presence of an overseer is re-
quired to get n satisfactory amount Of work
out of them. The cOlOrel people are mi.
grating northward, and the only relief rec
commended is that the farmers shall import
German laborers from Pennsylvania and
New York.
