Chinese and Japanese
Are Shrewd Bargainers

The Chinese and japanese are
shrewd and heartless bargainers and
the more the Mexican gets the less
he works. In your haste to get his
services you may easily defeat your
own purpose by offering him too
much. If $40 a week is the height of
his ambitions to pay him $3.50 day
instead of 81 means that he will
work four days instead of five.
Planters and factories are bring
ing Mexican poems by the trainload,
but nobody knows whether those
who bring him and pay railway
fare of $27 from Nogales will profit
by their services or whether it will
he somebody else.
But somehow the bulk of the i'm
pcrtant crops will be harvested, pre-
served and marketed. Yet here is
alfalfa rotting in the cocks with the
new growth coming up all around
it, because the labor cannot
be found to stock or bail
it. And it is worth SIT ton as it
rcts. Not far away dairy farmers
are sending their cows to the abat-
tCir because Of the high cost and
scarcity of feed.
The general feeling, though, is one
of optimism. The concern is not so
much over this crop as over next
years, with so many of the boys in
the army and with the possibilities
OF greater production to meet the
greater need so curtailed by lack of
labor.
The farmer who periodically rails
ed more than he could ordinarily
handle, relying on unredeemed prom
ises of national, state and county
defence councils that they would
solve the labor problem, is not likely
to put himself to what seems a use
less and costly extra effort next
year.
