DEMAND FOR FARM LABORERS
Only Way to Attract Good Men 10 to
Furnish Them With Steady Work
Take More Interest In Labor.

Good farm hands are not attracted
to a place where they are furnished
with work only about six or seven
months and cast adrift for the winter.
The annual demand for farm laborers
to be used for a few months is the
unfortunate accompaniment of sys-
TENS of crop growing that do not
include live stock as a complement.
Not only does this cause scarcity
of farm help but 1t drives the compe-
tent man to the cities. Men who go
about from one place to another and
stay only long enough to get fresh
start do not naturally like to do hard
work.
The only way to attract good men
to the farm is to furnish them with
steady work for the year. Men who
stay on one farm from year to year
learn what is required of them and
take more interest in their work and
earn more money for their employers
than they otherwise would.

How sake" 10 Made.

The crown prince Of Japan sent a
consignment of sake" to the British
crews attacking Kiauchau. This bev-
erage, which should be drunk warm
to appreciate its full flavor. is Of a
clear, light yellow color and tastes
like highly seasoned sherry. 1t is
made of steamed rice, treated by a
process which converts the starch
into sugar: fermentation sets in and
sake is produced. The character of
the water has a definite effect on the
liquor that results. Hence, for the
best quality of sake only the best wa
ter is employed. An excise duty
equivalent to rs cents per gallon is
levied on sake, the amount thus raised
in 1912 totaling $4,000, 000~ The name
is said to be derived from the town of
Osake, which, from time immemorial.
has been famous for sake brewing.

cLEAVE TO FARMERS UNION
"NationaI Field" Urges Farmer to Not
Become Discouraged But Stand
by the Organization.

The National Field, the national or
gan of the Farmers union, in an edi'
torial headed. IAN Appeal to Your
Common Sense" says:
Strength comes Of unity Of pur-
pose and cooperation. A dozen men
may accomplish things impossible for
the individual
With Europe at war we are to see
tremendous changes and readjust'
ments in this country Changes anc
realignments are coming in every ave
nue. of human endeavor When peace
at last comes to the ruined and torn
nations of the old world we must feed
and provide them with the things to
remake their own national lives.
And above all else. Europe will
need and demand then, as it is de-
handing now. that which the farmer
produces, his wheat, corn, sugar. cot
ton and other food supplies for man
and beast.
Therefore, my brother, say to you
in solemn and deadly earnestness,
that if there ever was a period in your
life when cooperation in your own
ranks was vital to your welfare. 1t Is
now.
The Farmers union has stood the
test Of the years. It has made its
mistakes, for it is human to err: 1t
has been through the fire and has
been purged of the dross, the drones.
In living, vital. powerful forces and
principles, it is today the greatest or
ganization of farmers in the worlds
history.
In conservation, in men Of character,
in grasp of the problems of the men
who toll in the fields, the Farmers
union is today a more potent force
than ever before. And with the dawn
of a great era just ahead, this coop
Grafton and drawing together of forces
means the coming of the day when
you reap the full toll Of your toll.
1t can be gained for the farmer Of
Georgia, of Nebraska, Of Maine. of
Oregon. only by unity of action. by a
combined and unbroken front to the
world. Therefore, instead Of becoming
discouraged and drawing from the
Farmers union you should stick closer
than ever and bring your neighbor
into the fold
You see organization all around.
The banker from whom you borrow. is
organized; the man who makes your
fertilizer, your shoes, your clothes.
who handles your cotton after you
produce 1t, who buys your corn, your
hay, your potatoes, after you pro-
duce them.
Don't you know the only way you
can meet him on his own fighting
ground. and win is by organizing and
working together? You know, or
should know by now, that you cannot
expect much from the politicians
except promises, which are forgotten
as soon as the election is over.
The Farmers union teaches you to
unite in both buying and selling
unity of purpose. We don't want the
self-seeker, the drones or those who
want to use the organization to help
their own selfish ends.
But we do want the honest, hard
working farmer. whether he runs one
plow or a thousand. We know he
will be benefited by uniting with the
Farmers union. We know the organi-
cation will gain in power and effec-
tiveness by his presence and co-opera'
ton.
