The regular spring cry for farm help
IS again heard. The farm hand supply
has steadily oeen decreasing OF late
years and the demand is as steadily in
ereasing. City life is tempting to the
farm worker. He sees men working in
factories from Z o'clock in the morning
until or in the evening He himself
in busy seasons works from before
dawn until after sunset. He sees the
factory workman enjoying the theater
and other forms Of recreation after
working hours. He himself in the busy
seasons has no time for pleasures on
week days, and even his Sundays offer
small chance for relaxation. He cannot
demand an eight hour, ten hour, or
even twelve hour day. He must work
while there IS work to be done and in
summer time there is always something
on the farm demanding attention.
Shorter hours. trolley cars and higher
wages would go far toward solving the
difficulty which confronts the employ
ing farmer.
