SCARCITY OF FARM LABOR.

One of the difficulties which will be
experienced by farmers the coming
season, more than in previous years.
is the scarcity of farm labor. lmmi-
grafton of this class of workers Is
found to have decreased by about 80
per cent from what it was before the
war. This is q matter in which all
farmers organizations will do well to
use their efforts in cooperation with
the, State free employment bureaus
and other agencies interested in the
distribution of help.
There has never been time before
when the difficulties in the way of
getting satisfactory farm workers in
sufficient numbers was as great as
now. The heavy foreign demand for
our farm products has caused in
creased acreages to be planted, and
this, Of course, aggravates the help
scarcity. And the activity of large
urban industries, also due to the heavy
export trade, makes it much less easy
to recruit farm labor from the cuies.
The country farm bureaus will find

THE TURN OF THE TIDE

! Some months ago there were calcula-
lions by allied caleulators published
to the effect that high water mark for
the Teutonic forces would be reached
possibly in November, but certainly at
the latest, by February, at the eur
rent rate Of wastage of men. The last
date has come. 1t may be a eoinci-
dence or it may be an untrue report
but If the report is true, it is highly
important that Germany has come TO
the decision not to conduct further Of
fensive operations. Nothing short of
dire necessity would extort such con
elusion from such q general staff. Yet
1T IS probable that such a policy must
be- adopted sooner or later. For y
long time it has been evident that the
war was TO be a struggle of endurance.
IN the main. In spite of the superior
! training and equipment of the leu
tons there is a point where the supe-
nor numbers of the enemy, with their
determination and resources. must more
than offset the initial advantage Of
the central powers.
Hence il is quite probable that a real
turn in the tide has come. Although
the Germans may attack fercelv on the
west front, as they seem to be doing.
yet it may be their best defense. The
capture of Erzerum, with its immense
strategic importance, seems to put an
end to German plans for an invasion
of Egypt. 1t viii give courage to the
other Russian armies operating in
northeastern Turkey. 1t will be espe-
cially good news to the British irving
to fight their way up the Euphrates to
Bagdad. 1t will discourage the Ger
mans with their policy of pushing back
the enemy on all the eastern front. It
will reduce the opposition by ma
terial army and great artillery
strength.
These are important advantages for
the entente allies as the spring opens
Evidence shows that Great Britain
will put fresh armies into the field as
soon as the season permits. Russia is
reported to have millions of new sol
diers ready. France and ItaIv are
straining all their resources and the
little powers have something left of
their lighting strength. Under such
conditions, with the tide of the Teu-
tonic numbers on the ebb, the begin
nlng Of the closing stage must be in
sight How long the Teutons can fight
with their backs to the wall and with
great resources yet at command re-
mains to be seen. But something new
is due to occur.
