FlRM HELP.


How shall our farmers and fruit
growers secure help to operate their
farms? Is saquestion that is paramount
70 all others with them, and we can
but eriticise the snail-like pace that
our legislature is moving in this mat
ter Of immigration, which alone is to
solve the problem. Complaint comes
from all over the peninsula that our
native laborers, as a class, are daily
growing lazy and careless that they
will work only about half of their time
even st fair wages. and have no re-
CARDS for the interests Ofthe employer.
This can only be Femedied by COmpe-
tltlop from abroad. and for the pur-
pose OF helping the land owners and
renters who may have cause to send
for foreign labor, we print the follow
tng circular, which was published by
ths Commissioners Of Emigration of
thA State of New York, for the infor-
nation of all Employers who would
avail themselves Of that Institution.
