For some inexpiicabIe reason the
scarcity of competent farm help Is be-
coming more serious problem and
each succeeding year. Thousands of
young men are turning their steps
toward the city. attracted by adver-
tisements OF glowing opportunities
wandering around large waiting for
some lucky Individual to grab on to
them and claim them for their own.
And 1t may be added. the most Of
them fail to materialize. After the
young man has become thoroughly In
oculated with the rush and swing Of
city ways It is next to impossible to
wean him away and back to the
quieter scenes of field and farm. The
nation seems to be undergoing a
strange period OF turmoil and mental
unrest. Doubtless everything will
work out satisfactorily in the end. 1t
generally does. Conditions have a way
of changing and shifting to meet pre-

ITO the farmers themselves belongs
