some one was in hiding ora fugi-

FARM HELP.

FARM HELP. ;
In recent article, in one Of our
state papers, someone takes up his
pen to attempt to solve the prob
lem of farm help in North Dakota.
He claims that the men who work
on farms are too scarce; that they
come to North Dakota during the
harvest and threshing season when
wages are high and as soon as the
cold weather starts in they go to
the lumber camps or stop at some
cheap hotel in the towns and can
not be induced to stay on the farm
through the winter; that in conse-
quence thereof the farmer must do
his chores alone when the Their
mometer is down at 40 below zero
OF get assistance from some of the
gentler sex. ~.
This writer says something
must be done. He does not be-
lieve the importation of the Japa-
nese would solve the problem as
he thinks the cost of educating
chem would be too great even if
they could be induced to work On
the farm. He, therefore, suggests
that more stringent laws be passed
TO. prevent these farm laborers
from spending their time and
money in 1.-The cities during the
winter: that tlahey be compelled by
law to work soianewhere; that the
landlords of these \, cheap hotels be
prohibited from extending farm
help credit for the Svyinter's eep
with the expectation dAf receiving
pay from the following falls earn

ing about outside all day long
with no attractions in the way of
social environments to keep up
ones ambition. These then we
hold to be some of the causes why
men cannot be induced to stay
on North Dakota farms through
the winter:
LIST. The pay offered is not
sufficient ihducement.
End. The accommodations are
not enticing.
3rd. Social environments are
not at all alluring.
9TH, ) The winters are too severe
for those unused: to our climate
and as stated in the first cause,
the pay is inadequate to induce
one to put up with hardships to
be endured.
The remedy:
Ii farmers are to follow diver
sifed farming, which is so highly
and urgently recommended, and
this they must do if they are go
ing to be able to pay for farm help
in the winter, they must prepare
for this by building comfortable
and convenient farm buildings
where most of the work may be
done inside, unexpased to severe
winter blasts: they, must have
sufficient work to do to enable
them to pay reasonable compen-
sation for the labor done. They
must provide their help with COM
Portable sleeping rooms, warm and
well prepared food and warm
room in which they may occas-
ionally rest and have access to
good books, the latest magazines
and newspapers; they must per-
nit them to join in neighborhood
festivities and make them, feel at
home, for winter is the only time
of the year that the farmer has
time to read and reflect and take
some pleasure out of life and
everyone should set apart a por-
ton of the year for the upbuild-
ing of ones self-to get some real
comfort out of l;fe.
If the above plan is not sufh-
Gent inducement to secure farm
help in winter from available help
who speak the English language
or who are native born then we
must resort to other means to Sc
cure good help.
We believe a solution of this
problem may be found in farmers
organizing and sending to- Ger
