FARM LABOR SCARCE
EFFECT OF HIGH WAGES AND AT.
FRACTIONS OF THE CITY.

In connection with the report that the
commissioner OF agriculture for Virginia
contemplated importing a number of farm
laborers from England to help out the local
farmers. the Secretary of Agriculture to-
day said that although he had heard MOTH
ing specifically of that report, 1t was true
that there was dearth of farm labor all
over this country. THE fact is,' said Mr..
Wilson, that the farms are starving for
labor and 1t has come to the point where
the farm owner has to multiply his labor
by using machinery, so that one man now
does more work than several formerly were
able TO do 1 can speak more from per-
sonal knowledge of the farms in Iowa than
any other section, and L know that many
OF the farmers have got so that they do
not hire any labor at ALL or very little
BUT DO all of the work themselves with the
aid of machinery.
1T has come to be a pressing problem
In this country how to keep the people
on the land. The attractions of the cities
ana the higher wages are drawing in the
younger people, and we are being confront
ed with the same problem that they have
in England of getting enough people on
the farms to do the work. 1t is this thar
has led to the development of machinery
to such an extent for farm labor / do
not know whether the limit has been reach
ed or course. no one can say that Ii mas
but 1t has come to the point where a sue
cessful farmer has to be an expert handler
| of machinery or else he cannot get mis-
| work done. The farmers in the west now
! are confronted with the biggest crops III
| their history. and with the same dearth or
| labor to handle them
In speaking of the general question OF
| farm values Mr.. Wilson said that Il might
| be news TO most people, but some of the
| best and cheapest farm lands in the coul-
| try were within an hours ride of Wash
ington. Il was down there in Maryland
recently he said, looking over some SOL
work that was being done by the depar--
| r1ent. Right within twenty miles or
| Washington L found excellent corn land
| that was selling for so an acre. 1t was
| the kind of land that in Iowa would have
| been worth $50 an acre. There is no rea-
son why this land should not be utilized
1t is right within driving distance or
| Washington one of the biggest and best
markets in the United ST. es. Certainly
| with the market at their very doors ana
no railway haul to enter into the problem,
| farm produce of all sorts could be put
| down in Washington In competition with
| the same products from the west. l know
good farm land when L see it, and this
was as good corn land you would want
| to find"
