Keen Labor on The Farm

GLOW can we keep the labor on the
farms?"
This is a question that you hear
asked now in many localities and it
is one that you are going to hear ask
ed more and more often unless q SEN
sible move is made to prevent farm
labor from leaving the land and going
to the towns and cities.
"Labor-labor wanted.
That is the cry today all over the
eastern part Of the United States and
it is going to be wall here in the
Central South if we don't do some
thing to hold the farm labor.
In the eastern states the large cities
and the smaller industrial centeTs,
that are now on "boom" have taken
farm labor from every section. There
is not now enough labor to take care
Of the orchards, the corn and the hay

Today right here in the Central
South much labor is leaving the farms
and going into the cities and towns
in search Of work and passing INTO The
north. Some are lured by temporary
high prices for labor in industrial CEN
ters and on the railroads. Others have
been hurt by the storms to such an
extent that they are forced to go to
towns to seek work whether it IS

In the past our towns have been
partly IN fault. They have tired to
exceed in population a7d have sent
out invitations to come and dwell in
them. The trouble with most towns
now is that they have too many PEG

anything to eat If every town and
city in this country had half the pop
ulation it has and the extra half were
back on the farms producing some
thing and owning their own homes

Need Foodstuffs.

IIght today many of the farm Ia
borers would be glad to remain on the
land if they were helped through this
fall and this winter. Many OF them
are not anxious to leave familiar
scenes and go into the towns where
living is a precarious business. They
need help and they need it now, They
need seeds for spring and sumner
gardens and for a grain crop. Many
of them need some chickens and may
he 2 hog or two. what they really
need they should have. Ii they are
unable to pay for these things Should
be given them and the slate wiped
clean until the next fall.
In some cases such charity would
be taken undue advantages OF. But Or
the whole it is the best thing to do
and the only thing to do now.
1t is a pitiful thing to see anybody
leave q farm and go to town, whether
land owner, tenant or employe. once
in town they don't come back on the
land. Labor gone from the farm IS
gone forever. That's what's the mat
ter with the eastern states today, and
it is considerable matter in the south
ern states. In the east people have
left the farms by thousand and gone
into towns, and some sections Of the
east will be half a century re2oV-
oring from this disastrous movement.
You can see the cects Of it on every
hand here in the south. People are
living in every little town who once
owned big farms They are living in
town and producing nothing in the

on the farms has to feed them. Many

WHY MEAT is HIGH.

The meat supply of the United
States shows a startling decline in the
past decade. A compilation by the
National City Bank of New York
comparing the number of available
food animals in the United States on
January /, 1917, as shown by the re-
cent statement by the department of
agriculture with the number on Janu-
airy /, 1907, shows a fall of over TO-
600, 900 in the number of cattle other
than mich cows and of nearly 5000. :
0eO in the number of sheep in the pc
Rod 19O7-1917. Meantime the popu-
lation of continental United States has
increased 100000. Thus the supply
creased 20 per cent. and that of sheep
10 per cent, while the consuming
population was increasing Is per cent
Hogs are the only class of food ami
mails showing an increase, the num-
Der of swine in the United States hav-
ing been on January l, 1917. about
10000 greater than in 1907.
This large decrease in the number
of food animals has not. however, re-
QuC6u the Ndlue VI the SillIS
On the contrary the advance in prices
of meats has greatly increased the
value of the reduced number. The
department of agriculture figures, on
which these compilations are based
put the value of the 40, S49,0 900 cattle,
other than mich cows, on farms in
the United States on January /, 1917,
at $1,465,6 62, 900 while the value OF
the, 51,5G6.000 head in 1907 was but
1881, $4,000. The average value pei
head was of mich cows in 1907, SCOTS
per head and in 1917, 1886; all other
cattle in 1907, $17.09 per head, and
in 1917, S35.SS; sheep in 1907, sass
per head and in 1917, STA, and swine
| in 1907, S7.63 per head and in 1917
$11.73 per head.
Thus cows, "other cattle" and sheer
have doubled in price per head ir
ten years while swine show an increase
of so per cent per head in value in
that period. Is it any matter for won
der that meat is high?

Thru the United States department
of agriculture, the bureau of biologi-
cal survey has issued an urgent appeal
to the people of the country to feed
the birds this winter. Many of the
feathered creatures thus saved from
starvation probably would become
food for cats. No method of conserv-
ing bird life can be produt I've of sat-
isfactory results sc long as an army of
cats is permitted to roam about the
city. What justice is there in per-
hitting these animals to run at large
when the same privilege is not ac-
corded to the harmless COW and
horse? Even dogs must wear a tag
before they can go about the streets
at will.

Once upon a time a family of fair
les sailed over the earth on a snow
white cloud.
And as they sailed, they watched
tho earth below.
Wonderful sights they saw-rivers
and deserts, forests and plains, cities
and wide barren spaces.
Finally in the afternoon, the Dig
white cloud they sailed on, dropped
lower and lower till the fairies. could
see the things of earth-oh, most as
we'll as # they were really down on
the hard frozen ground
Then, for the first time, they saw
people-men and women and little
children
The cloud dropped lower still and
with their sharp eyes the fairies saw
the children at their play.
Look" shouted little fairy, they
are playing games and running just
as we do.''
ITO be sure they arer' smiled the
queen fairy, children always run and
play just as you do.'
You see she knew all about it for
fairy queens are very wise.
"They haven't as nice place TO
play as we have tho said another
fairy who was watching closely, they
have to play on that hard, dirty
ground"
.sOh, they don't mind that" laughed
the fairy queen, they're used to that
for the earth always is that way in
winter
well, 1 know L wouldn't like to
play on hard, dirty ground. Il glad

in a most determined fashion, m
glad I'm fairy and live on cloud
Now close down by the edge OF the
cloud sat a tiny, little, white fairy
who had been SO busy watching the
boys and girls that ne hadn't said a
word But he had been listening, even
tho he hadn't talked, and now he
said softly:

playground to white, L know the chill
