FARM HELP SCARCE. T

Activity Of Mills Attracts to Life in the
Cities.
Farm help seems to be as scarce this
year as last, and even more so. In fact
it has become a, problem Of no small
consequence to farmers in this locality,
They find 1t almost impossible to get
adequate and efficient help, and consid-
err that the almost unprecedented pros
perity of the mills In the manufacture
ing communities is the cause. While
1t might be thought that there are as
many loafers hanging about as usual,
and that 1t might not be difficult to
pick up all the necessary help, the loaf
ers are not wanted by the farmers,
even If they were inclined to offer their
services. The agriculturist requires ex-
perienced men, as well as men who
would not fall asleep while pitching a
load Of hay.
1t would be easy to get this class of
help If one offered them $50 month
and board, with a spring broller thrown
in now and then during the week, as is
done in Kansas, but the farmers have
ceased to look in the manufacturing
towns for their help. The kind obtain
able there don't know the game, and
when it comes to milking cows, the
country lad is really the pole horse in
the race.
Farm hands are especially scarce
now, the scarcity being commensurate
with the demand for them at this, the
busiest season of the year, when hay is
being harvested and garden truck is
srinening
