Local Papers Recognize the Demand
For 1t.
We note with encouragement the
way in which the press of New York
state, and even other states. is throw
ing open its columns to grange news
More grange departments have been
started by newspapers within the past
six months than ever before. Papers
which ten years ago had no space for
grange news are now giving from one
to four columns week to it. They
have simply recognized demand for
this kind of reading on the part of the
public. An ideal grange department in
local paper should contain all the
real news pertaining to the order. But
il should be more than a purely news
department. 1t should furnish food for
thought along lines of grange work.
1t should contain such reading matter
as could be used with profit by the lee
turer in the meetings, and it should at
al times aim to furnish such articles
as will broaden and educate. 1t should
also be the aim of the editor of a
grange department to keep abreast Of
the best sentiment and thought of the
day In this chosen ield.-Overseer

THE FARM LABOR QUESTION

How Can the Grange Help In SOW
ing the Farm Help PrOblems
The scarcity of farm help both in
doors and outdoors the past harvest
season has forced farm people to think
seriously as to what will be the out
come. Wages of farm laborers have
increased nearly one-third in the last
decade, while the supply of farm help
has diminished in about the same ratio.
The farmer has been trying to tide
over this pressure by working a little
harder himself. The good wife and
children have "helped OUT in many an
emergency, but the long continued
strain proves to us that we cannot en-
dure this high pressure very much
longer. A suggestion of Il solution to
this problem Is given by Hon. f. W.
Redfern, which is worthy of consider
alton. He says:
"The scarcity Of really good men,
men who understand farm operations,
is coming to be severely felt. Farmers
are anxiously inquiring, What are
we going to do for help on the farmT
Some one says, Use more machinery.
Yes, but that Is only a partial solution
of the work question, for men must
be had to work the machinery. The
problem of getting them still confronts
us. A solution must be had, however.
1t must come through change in
cropping, a curtailment of production
or resort to the importation of labor
from countries having an excess. The
present demand for marketable prod
ucts precludes very much change in
cropping, at least of such a character
as would allow with doing away with
hired help on the ordinary farm. Cur
tailment of production cannot be
thought of, because that would bring
distress. The people must be fed. The
remedy would seem then to be in i'm
portation of farm laborers. The Ques-
ton then is, How can this be brought
about? Simply enough. A general ap-
peal might be made by our agricul-
turists to the chief of the department
of agriculture at Washington, asking
that the United States consuls abroad
be instructed to make inquiry as to
the location of farm laborers who
would be willing to migrate to the
United States and report their findings
to Washington.
"An information bureau could be es-
tablished and arrangements made with
the authorities in Washington as to the
number of laborers desired and in what
localities needed. All that would be
needed could no doubt be induced to
come. A dearth of laborers for the
mine or workshop is readily filed by
importation of miners and mechanics
from the overthronged districts of Eu-
rope. Why not try the experiment on
our farms and thereby solve the ques-
tion of farm labor?'
The question now comes. Is this a
matter where the national grange
could urge upon congress to take some
action that will allow farmers more
latitude in regard to the employment of
foreign laborers ?-Michigan Quarterly
Bulletin.

The Hcnt of Lava.

The lava streams from the eruption
of Vesuvius in 1853 were so hot twelve
years later that steam issued from
their cracks and crevices. Those that
flowed from Etna in 1887 were found
to be steaming hot just below the crust
as late as 1910. The volcano Jorullo,
in Mexico, poured forth in 1850 lava
that eightyseven years later gave off
columns of steaming vapor. In 1850 it
was found that a stick thrust into the
crevices instantly ignited, although no
discomfort was experienced in walking
on the hardened crust.

was the aim of the rich to crush the
