WILL SOLVE HIGH
COST OF LYING
lMMl GRAFTON WILL SETTLE THE
LABOR QUESTION FOR THE
FARMS or MICHIGAN
SAYS CARTON.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 13.-Much is
being said at the present time about
the need I'm Michisan OF commits

thoroughly equipped with knowledge
along agricultural lines and who will
devote all his time To- the betterment
of agricultural conditions I'm the state
The high cost Of living and the
scarcity Of farm labor caused by the
exodus of the boys ana sirl3 from the
farms 90 the cities is receiving q
great deal of attention by public spir-
tied citizens, who are interested in
the development of the unsettled ag-
ricultural lands Gad the Improvement
Of condition in the settled portions
Of the state.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture the public domain commission
was empowered and authorized TO act
as an immigration commission, with
authority. to appoint commissioner
of immigration. a. G. Carton, COM
missioner OF immigration. states that
the work of getting out Michigan's
first Year Book is progressing rapidly
and that it VIII be ready for distribu-
ton some time during the early
spring.
'The thing that ! am giving atten-
ton to at the present time" said Mr.
Carton, lis the matter of procuring
farm labor for the developed farms
Of Michigan er
Lack of Farm Help
while there are many agencies
that enter into the high cost OF living.
think there are two which stand
forth above them all. First, the lack
of farm labor on the developed farms
of Michigan, and second, a more eco
nomical arrangement in regard to dis
tribution.
while l think that the day has
gone by for cheap living, / believe
that If some attention is given to the
above subjects a further advance in
the cost of living may 5e checked. 1t
is a well known fact that the farms
of southern Michigan are not produc-
ing one-half Of what they are capable
of producing, due largely to the lack
Of help on the farm.

looking to the reduction Of the net

cooperate with the man we place at
the port of entry in turning over such
help as the farmers of Michigan need.
This will be the first permanent
step 10 reduce the high cost of livins
ana at the same time to preserve. If

Business Proposition.
Farming IS and should he treated as
a business phoposition. and the same

ing industries Of Michigan which en-

the same as the farmer has in his
s2rm. Supposing these concerns
could only procure one or two
hundred men TO work in these plants.
The result would be that they would
have To sell their mamie ctured pro-
ducts for higher price per amt and
at the same time their net profit
would perhaps be materially reduced.
What is true of the manufacturing
concerns of this state Is equally true
OF the farms, and the public domain
commission, which is the commission
OF immigration, is going TO assist in

.of the whole industrial situation of

would take from the farmer any

would reduce his purchasing power

farmers of this country had all the

1T is nonsense TO advocate the back

a year, added to the 100000 immi-
grants who annually come to our
shores, the question in the future IS
going to be TO sgo1uce enough TO
take care Of our -Hn people and pro-
duce it at price that the consumer
can afford to pay from the wage
which he receives.
"When the time arrives that the
consumption exceeds our productions
then there are but three things to
do: open up more land for agricul-
tural purposes, make the lands alrc ,dy
under cultivation more productive or
eat less. AS the American people will
not readily agree TO the last pr, po-
sition then our efforts should BE- di-
rected along the other two lines, and
as the developed farms Of southern
Michigan are more available for quick
production. some attention should be
given along that line, as well as the
development Of the agricultural lands
that are still in the raw state.
Consumption Increased.
lp fob -
It, is due to the fact that the farm
boy and farm girl are leaving the
farms and going to the city, and where
there used to be three producers there
is but one producer and three con-
sumers. Not alone do the consumers
increase but the farm that has been
left to be looked after and worked
by the father, who, perhaps, is we'll
along in years, does not produce over
one-half To ne-third of what IL
should. BY this mode of procedure
the thing gets out of balance and this
is one of the reasons for the high cost
Of living.
THE remedy for this is TO divert
the immigrants from the agricultural
districts Of Europe from going 20 the
cities and place them on the farms of
Michigan, ana this can and will be
done.
AT the present time. we have the
matter up with the farmer organiza-
tions of the state. who we hope will
act as distributing agents for this
help. and we expect within the next
80 days TO have the machinery all
