Farm Thoughts for
Farm Readers
FARM HELP.
Eaper Read Before the Grain Growers
by Hon. r. 3. Lewis.

by Hon. Il. 4. Lewis.
The question of farm labor is one
OF the most trying and vexatious
propositions with which the North
Dakota farmers have to contend. 1t
is also a difficult question to discuss,
for all farmers are not confronted
by the same conditions.
The ease with which the North Da-
kota farmers can convert the raw,
virgin soil into ripening fields, and
the amount which they can prepare
and seed in excess of what they will
be able to care for, creates an urgent
demand for labor during the harvest
and threshing season. Often this de-
mand exceeds the supply, and the anx-
a0us farmers become unduly exercised
resulting in wages being advanced
ont of all proportion to the value of
service rendered.
1t Is unfortunate that the farmers
are not able to give larger per-
centage of the men, who work for
them through the spring, summer and
TALL, employment during the winter
months. By so doing, they would have
better and more efficient help and
would. in addition, be prepared to
begin work at the proper time in the
spring.
In order to change the present con-
ditions there will have to be a more
general disposition, on the part of the
farmers. to get into sock, which will
necessitate getting out Of the wheat
business to some extent and raising
more corn and feed. This would dis
tribute the work more uniformly the
year round 1t would also keep the
farms in higher state of cultivation
and free from weeds, which today are
the bane of the Red river valley farm
ers.
Then again, as to farm help, the
class of labor to be had in this state,
especially at harvest time, is none too
sOOd. The men are after the money
and are not particular as to the value
OF the services rendered in exchange
Tor the farmers coin. In many cases,
the farmers are much to blame by
showing no regard for the men who
toll hard all day, and for the num-
her of hours which they work. For
the kind of work performed, the farm
help receive less wages than any other
class of laborers in the state, but for
this the farmers are not wholly to
blame, as the low prices of farm pro-
duce will not permit higher sched-
ule of wages.
There is another proposition which
works a great injustice to both the
farmers and the laborers, and that
is the uniform schedule of wages paid
the men through the working season.
You can scarcely get crew of men
together but what you will find, in
that one particular crew, men whose
services are worth actually double
the service of some of the others.
This. according to my judgment, has
tendency to lower the standard of
laborers. because it puts no premium
ON good, honest service, but, on the
contrary, puts premium on incom-
potency and laziness. Why not nav
2 good man what he is worth? If
you do this will it not increase the
supply of faithful, honest laborers,
who will endeavor to give you some
thing in return for the wages they
receive. and dismiss the fellows who
only aim to get your money and give
as little as possible VI exchange? Do
Ing this, you will find that the average

htat the cost of keeping is compare
lively small and the original invest
ment the same, while the care re-
quired is not only light but pleasant.
The profit from a well-bred hen is
not much below three dollars net. and
with a good sized flock, there will be
considerable item added to the farm
income. The raising of poultry for
the market is also profitable, for thew
can be largely raised on what usually
goes to waste on a North Dakota farm.
AS BEGINNING for the boys there is
nothing better, and as land becomes
scarcer and higher in price. requiring
closer farming, poultry will be recog-
nized as splendid money maker.

WOMEN ON DIVORCE WORK

TFrom Tie Tribune Bureau


Washingtoa. Aug. 9-The census officials have
decided on new departure in their method Of

preference in collecting the data for the special

the Census Office that the selection of women for
this important work is due to any superiority
Of the sex in probing family secrets or getting
the gossip of the neighborhood. but it has been
found that women as accurate as men, and
sometimes more There is a scarcity of men at
the wages offered, and II is believed that the
women will do satisfactory work, while the
champions Of the square deal" as between women
and men Will have occasion to rejoice over the Sc
lection.
There are eighteen questions prescribed with ref
erence to each divorce. and it is confidently be-
leved that where the answers are difficult TO OBJ
tain there is for doubt the women will
get the better of it. few men will be put on
the assignment thar at least one or two may
accompany each squad of women, to relieve them
Of any especially trying or unsavory cases and to
search for any information which has to be gath
cred in sections where the cannot well be
