HAS PLAN TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Michigan Man Taking Census
to Aid In Colonization.

Lansing, MiCh.--Labor Commissioner
James Cunningham has started what
he thinks will result in the taking Of a
complete census Of Michigan farm
hands.
He is sending out blanks to every
supervisor with the request that they
be filled out and returned. The blanks
ask for the number OF farm hands
employed by the month, the average
number of months they are employed.
the average monthly wages, the mum
Der of farms operated by tenants and
whether or not there is scarcity OF
farm help IN the district. Some of the
supervisors close to lansing have nj
ready answered.
I'VE hope if possible to get some
data by which we may he able to start
a sort of colonization system which
may eventually relieve the farm labor
market
$50 far we have found that day farm
labor Is what is scarce On the other
hand, we have reports from some sec
lions which show that there are many
farms--largc ones-which are only par
tally cultivated.
"Our plan is to have the owners OF
those large farms cut them up into
small parts and put on them Hun
garianS and other foreigners who are
natural born farmers. Give them space
enough to live on and raise enough
for their own needs and ut the same
time guarantee them certain amount
of day work in the vicinity We think
in this way we can relieve the prob
lem Of day farm labor"
Mr., Cunningham has received the CO.
operation Of tifty-threc county clerks
in his plans to have them act as agents
for free employment bureau ut their
respective county seats.

Surprised at Fine Homes in the
North

The bankers who went on the recent
tour through the upper counties were
surprised at the fine farm homes found
there. 1t is fact that the homes of
the well established farmers in the
north are superior to and better cared
for than those Of the older portions of
the state This is also true of the
country schools and the roads The
upper portion of the state is filled with
the enthusiasm of pioneers and that
probably accounts in large way for
these better things. In the matter of
roads the conditions as to surface and
soil are better in the north.
