Higher Pay For Farm Labor.

The present high prices OF
nearly all staple farm crops are
unrivaled in the history of Amer.
ican agriculture. The situation
justifies the intensity of produc-
tion methods which involves in
large part better preparation of
seeded and more thorough till
age of crops. This calls for more
labor. How is it to be secured?
How is the available farm labor
to be utilized to the best advant-
age.
Prof. F. D. Gardner, of the
Pennsylvania State College school
of agriculture and experiment
station said:
1T islikely that farmers will be
justified in paying better wage s
1
than ever before, in fact many of
them will be forced to do so in
order to keep the labor from
turning to other occupations.
To do this without reducing pro-
fits, farmers should distinguish
between productive and unpro-
ductive work.
''Unproductive work, which in
a long term of years is necessary
in order to maintain the appear
ance of the farm, may tempor-
arily be abandoned and all hands
kept busy on enterprises as pro-
ductive as possible. Work appli-
ed directly to the production of
crops, animals and animal pro-
ducts is productive. Work applied
to the repair of buildings, the
construction of fences and the
trimming of roadsides is unpro-
ductive and if large numbers of
men are called to arms in the
present crisis, may be temporari-
ly omitted.
Work should be carefully
planned so that there will at all
times be work for the regular
employ ees. This means a crop
ping system with areas of each
crop so adjusted that labor will
be evenly distributed throughout
the season. 1t means also that
work should be provided inside
for rainy days. Under this head
might be listed mixing fertilizers,
preparing seeds for planting,
oiling harness and machinery,
making crates for shipping fruit,
doing repair work, cleaning sta
bles and buildings, or other mis-
cellaneous items that the farmer
should be ready to handle imme-
diately when outdoor work is
temporarily at standstill.
Work kept up-to-date saves
labor. 1t requires much more
time and effort to clean a weedy
field than to keep if free of weeds
by timely cultivation. Crops not
harvested on time generally en-
tail a loss and reduction in quail
lity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The defense scored big victory today when the Court ruled that the prose- cution wuold have to make public property the Berkman letters which nave been seized.
 These are the famous letters which the police seized when they raided the Blast office and upon which prosecuting attorneys claim to have discovered a great conspi- racy against Hiram Johnson.
 The important relation to the pro- secution of Mooney is that the Dis trict Attorneys office has claimed that Mooney was the associate ot Berkman and has conspired with him in many acts of violence. The effort to introduce the violence and murder plots, passing them upon these allegations, led to bitter le- gal battle between Cochran and Fickert and his associates. Cochran won out after lengthy discussion
