LACK OF FARM LABOR SERIOUS.
Another feature of the situation is
the want of labor. There has been q
scarcity of labor In harvest and crop
gathering times for Several years. Now
that the boys are being taken from the
farm under the draft the situation is
such that you cannot find labor to
plant and certainly not sufficient labor
to take care of the crops. Unless the
labor situation 10 changed through
some method there will be q vast de-
crease in the crop acreage of the west
next year through inability to plant or
sow and take care Of 1t.
ut Is not because the farmers are
not willing to go sorward-indeed.
they are anxious to--but this is a con-
dition and not a theory. The serious
ness Of 1t cannot well be exaggerated.
I am very certain that it's effects will
be tremendous in the coming year. 1t
is not a question Of paying higher
wages. It il a question Of NO one to
employ.

THE present outlook IL not promis-

conditions admonish us to prepare for

There is just one plea Of the gov
eminent which falls upon deaf ears in

fact that all around our products are
going to waste. If the people Of the
west could see their crops taken care

NO HANDICAP LIST /
ISSUED This YEAR
Failure of f45 Clubs TO Turn In Figures
is Reason Assigned by Secretary
of Association.
(Ry Associated Press.l

Chicago, March 23.-Crafts w. Hig-
gins, assistant secretary Of the West
ern Golf association, last night an
nounced that there would be, no ham
dicap list published by the association
this year. because 145 clubs had failed
to turn in the handicaps of their lead
ing players. The call for handicaps
was sent out early in February with a
time limit set at March 20.
The executive committee Of the club
has found that, while the clubs re-
scented omission of their players ham
dicaps, they would not take the trouble
to turn in the figures.
The result will be that handicaps
fer tournament play will have to be
fixed at the first tee at the start of
each tournament in which members OF
two or more clubs participate. There
will be no confusion at championship
meets, as all play is at scratch.

NORMAL LOSES
STAR BATTERY;
PRACTICE Is ON
j. Carlander and Anderson
Leave School Places
Hard to Fill.

The Moorhead normal has lost it's
star battery. J. Carlander, pitcher,
and A. Anderson, catcher, have failed
to register for the spring term, and
will not be in school.
The passing of these two men,
whose work the past two years has
kept the normal up in the college
baseball race, leaves Coach "Litz"
Rusness up against the proposition Of
developing new battery. For pitch
ers, he has Nokken, Paxton and Roy
Carlander all youngsters who show
promise, and for catchers, Rosel
Storm and Curran. all who have had
some experience behind the bat.
Workouts are being held in the gym
nasium daily. @
Infield candidates this spring are
Hartsgaard, Schrader, Lucas. and
Sherman, Hertsgaard being the only
veteran. Men for the outfield will be
recruited from the overflow from
other positions.
