SCARCITY OF FARM HELP.
Farmers Feel Very Keenly Lack of
Help This Year.

The farmers OF the country feel
livery keenly this summer the lack of
farm help. Their supply of labor
has always been considerably augu-
mented by immigration. This year
immigration has been reduced to the
vanishing point as the result of the
war.
Last summer there was still some
business depression. Many young
fellows unable to find work in the ci-
ties decided to try the rake and the
pitchfork. This year it has been a
very busy winter and spring, and the
unemployed are largely so by choice.
Alien help has never been popular
on the farms. The farmer is man
of few words, and he is irritated by
long explanations to foreigner who
can't grasp the simplest language.
When he sends the hired man up to
the barn for a moving machine, it is
not little bothersome when he re-
turns with monkey wrench. But
almost any pair of willing hands is
accepted nowadays.
Formerly the boys used to stay on
the farm and help the old man along.
There were more of them then, too.
