LABOR FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS.

For many years throughout the en-
tire South there has been Il great
scarcity of farm labor. For one rca-
son or another the negroes. upon
whom the agriculturalists of Dixie
land have depended from Colonial
days down to n decade ago. have de-
serted the country places, swarming
into the cities ana centcrs of populn-
ton, carrying with them their viccs;
and their own peculiar ideas of morall-
ties and giving the municipalities new
and serious problems to solve.
From all sections of tho South there
has come the cry for more lahorors.
In Virginia the farmers have accom-
modated themselves To the new CON
ditions and many of them have found
unexpected prosperity and profit I'M
der conditions which forced them to
depend upon their own resources and
which prevented them from Manning
larger crops and more extensive opera
lions than they were able to- properly
handle. Thus il is quito apparent
that the prosperity of the Old Do
minion does not depend upon the ne
gro, who is fast deserving the fertile
helds. nor upon the Immigrant from
the foreign country whose attention Ia
now being directed to this section.
Still. there is room for development
and Virginians should read with inter
est the following paragraph from the
Washington Post:
And now il is proposed 10 supply
the cotton States with farm labor
from Southern Europe, principally
from italy. The minister from that
Kingdom has looked into the matter
and is said to favor the scheme. At
present emierants from Italy arc
crowded III cities where they are not
needed, and where many of them find
iife continuous hardship. They are

To Lake Pend d'Oreille Mining
Region.

Lake Pend d'Oreille mining region
is experiencing greater activity than
it has known for some time on ac-
connt of the erection OF the Panhan-
die smelter near Standpoint. The
region produces silver-lead ores, and
a good variety of gray copper ore. AS
a general thing the ores are low grade
though there are some properties In
which values run high, as in the
Black Tail camp, where shipments OF
gray Gopher show returns OF from
$4,000 to $4,000 car. The Little Joe
mine recently shipped a car which
gave returns of $4,000. But as q
general thing the ores are low grade
and for this reason have not been ex
tensiyely developed. The coming o.
the smelter will make possible tn,
handling of THESE ores, and many .
the properties are now being devel-
