FARM HELP

On the subject of farm help,
which is becoming serious prob
lem to North Dakota farmers, the
Finley Beacon has the following:
Western farmers are selling
their land because they cannot
secure the help necessary to cult
vate the fields and harvest the
crops. while every day a steady
stream of immigrants are fiocking
to these Shores and either making
their homes in the congest ed
quarters of half a dozen of our big
cities or being swallowed up by
the coal mines; - ~
Now the life of a miner is a mis-
cradle life and the life OF the ig-
morant and illiterate foreigner who

men who are wasting their time in
trying to pick up a precarious iiv-
ing when humanity swarms In the
tenements and the slnms of the
great cities or the men who risk
their lives every day in the mighty
anthracite cayerns CT Pennsylvania
would not stop a day in such sur
roundings If they knew the oppor-
tunities that await them here in
the northwest. The price of CON-
mon labor has increased very little
in the cities during the past ten
years, Notwithstanding the pros
.perity that has prevailed. That
is because the supply of unskilled
labor is nearly always equal to or
greater than the demand. Farm
wages during this period have in
creased fully twenty-five per cent
and fifty per cent during harvest.
Why, then, should not the immi-
grafton bureau seek to solve the
immigration problem by sending
the cargoes of aliens who come ev-
cry day, to the points where they
are needed? Why not send them
to the wide prairie farms of the
northwest, where they can make
more money and save more money
in one year than they can save in
ten in a city like New York p Why
