CITY HELP ON THE FARM.

The benefit which will accrue to the farmer thru the
aid of city labor during the harvest time moot question
There many who declare that city man. clerk
engaged in similar occupation is a hndrance rather than
aid on the farm.
This may be true in the East and in the industrial sec
tions of the Middle West but it is hardly true in the agr
cultural regions of the West or Middle West either
1t is true that large percentage of the clerks and
residents of the towns and cities of the agricultural regions
have had less experience farms large pro-
portion of them raised the farm and acquired their
city residence largely for the purpose of securing better
educational facilities, and then drifted into city jobs
These not so far removed from their early
training that they could not within few weeks become
suitable ranch hands 1t would take week two to hard
their muscles and put caouses their hands but they
would "be there in time
Certainly such men, who for the that they have
families otherwise disqualified for military service,
but are loyal Americans much to be desired
farm laborers than the foaters of the LWW type whose
very presence on farm is menace to the crops
In view of the situation in which the nation finds
itself with labor shortage in every town. well in the
country it vii require large degree of leadership and
operation to work ont the problem The city business
must later face the problem and realize that in
degree his business is less essential to the winning of the
than that of raising and harvesting the crops and that
when called upon to be ready to make every sacrifice Of
convenience and possibly of necessity to aiding the
ranchcr
The business will do this He can do no less When
this problem comes to Ontario within few weeks
it must The Argus has doubts to the result Ontario
business men will be ready to do their part

THE GRANGE AND THE LEAGUE.

That the Non-Partisan League is going to find il
difficult to stampede the farmers of Oregon and Washing
ton made Increasingly apparent by the action of the
State Grange at its Salem convention last week
The Changers, representing perhaps large majority
of the rchers of the state passed resolution condemnn
the League but later reelected State Master Spence just
what this may be considered to is doubtful at this
distance but the attitude of the majority voting for the
resolutions indicate that the Changers desire to keep their
body free from entanglmg alliances In that the Grange
is wise for has great work to do and is accomplishing
large portion of its program without keeping company
with organizations which under cloud of questionable
loyalty.
Aside from these two events that which of import

sounded clarion call for loyalty the part of the Grg
While such call needed the address delivered
by Mr. Spence was timely and comprehensive He dwelt
pertinent problems which the Changers with other cit-
zens, not engaged in farming, have to face.
There is doubt that the nation today has two forces
at work which disturb the peace and welfare, well

GO SLOW NOW.

The Malheur Enterprise of late has been urging the
adoption of road plan for Malheur county The plan is
the most comprehensive put forth Its merit lies IN the
fact that takes into consideration the needs of the county
as whole and furnishes the necessary basis for the ult
innate development of adequate highway system which
will permit of growth and development thrlout the vast
domain of Maheur county.
No good system that vii ultimately serve the county
can be secured without ssh plan Some definite aim
be taken before the right kind of system can be
built
But there many things to be taken into considera
ton when discussing internal developments at this time.
No plans should be considered which do not make large
provision for the fact that America at and that 1OO
per cent the energy must be directed toward winning the
war Unless public proposition has the winning of the
feature ~ its benefits should wait until after the
conflict in Europe has erlcd.
There are many roads which can be considered of mat
cria benefit toward winning the Such roads tosc
which aid the rancher in moving his crop market Sue
roads should be built Roads that would permit the bring
ing out of necessary materials in the class
but tourist roads and roads that fairly passable
the present needs sh'nd be left alone with only
pen lures for apkeep.
Then there the financial question 70 be considered
With the pub: aled upo before to dive funds
tU war organizations aud taxes in ever increasing
quantities, it is ulwse 10 promote further expenditures
And there is still another element upon which to poi
der That is the necessity of labor in work of all kinds
from raising of grain and live stock to the building of ships
and ammunition To divert this labor TO road building IL
mcXpedicnt. to Say the least
After the is over, too there will be army of
sra millions of men who will he in need of employment
They will return 10 find that have taken their
places in many industries There will bc period of re-
adjustment in almost every line of endeavor. Until that
rcadusment takes place there will be thousands of men
who could he used IN the construction OF roads and other
public projects to their advantage and to the ultimate
advantage of the state and nation
Wherever therefore it is possible to delay work so
that the men who are fighting will have opp0rt-
ty to take their place in the ranks of civil life that should
be done.
Such program vii not be hard ON Mauhcur county.
While needs roads and needs them badly is worse
off today than it five years ago The County will dol
well To consider the plan proposed by the Vale editor
which in its entirety would require the construction of
nearly 500 miles cf highway and lay its plans r ultimate
