SAY OURFARMs MEET HELP
OF MORE IMMIGRANTS.

In the current issue Of Farm
and Fireside Thomas Kelly, the
owner of a half dozen good farms
in Connecticut, is quoted as fol-
lows on the subject Of the neces-
sity for free immigration in or
der that American farms can
have the laborers which they are
sadly in need of. What he says
is particularly interesting because
Of the present war which will
probably operate to reduce i'm
migration.
THE reason why beef is not
raised in the east is because we
cannot get help to feed the
calves. Considerable labor is re-
quired to establish and maintain
a herd, and laborers are few.
when our Government began to
restrict immigration we COM
menced to SOW the seeds Of high
prices. Every farmer from
Maine to California will tell you
that his chief trouble is to pro-
cure workers.
Farm products-are high be-
cause Of the difficulty Of finding
men who will do the work need
ed on the farm"

A Connecticut boy-one of nine children
born in 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. AT a very early age he was COM

school, he worked hard all the time. He

work for a neighbor at ST per month Inc
board. At the end Of the year he a
saved all the money thus earned. At the
age of 81 he had saved enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news Of the
discovery of gold in California came,
he drew $1,000 from his business and
started west via the Isthmus of Panama.
For want of shipping facilities he. with
many others, was detained on the Isthmus
for three months. During this time ne
traded In commodities and made $4,000,
to add to his original 81, 200.
He located in Sacramento and engaged

EASY MONEY IN SHEEP.

EASY N IN SHEEP.
In the current issue Of Farm
and Fireside D. A. McComb,
writing an article entitled Sheep
Easy Money" says in part:
Keep all the sheep your spare
pasture will support. And for
sheep pasture you can count
every nook, fence corner, and
brier thicket where no other will
do any good. Sheep can be
relied on not only to help clean
up the farm but to gather up
young weeds, briers, fence-corner
grass, and thistles and actually
turn them into your bank account
or your poeketbook. And when
I say this I am speaking from
real experience. On our farm
we have 35 ewes. We always
winter that many. Then we keep
a Thoroughbred buck. We breed
SO that our lambs come in March.
"A'year ago last fall our sheep
money was 9206. This we could
almost call clear gain, at least it
was almost selfmade money;
made while we slept and while
we were busy doing other work
on the farm.
Later in the season when we
thought the market suited US We
had IS nice lambs to sell. The
money we got for them was made
from material which would other
wise have gone to waste, and it
was made almost without any
effort or cost on our part. Then
the ewes and ram, in the wool
crop, will just about even up
with you every year for their
keeping. So we have come to
call the sheep money the easiest
money on the farm.
Every farmer with forty
acres or more should always have
some sheep. Go at it according
to the capacity Of your fence cor
ners and other little hooks and
places of nipping for keeping
them without special feeding.
