HOW ONE COUNTY
IN OKLAHOMA IS
GETTING WORKERS

Here is one way of securing farm
Chackasha, Oklahoma. And in any
county it will help to some extent, at
least, in relieving the farm-labor
shortage.
The farm demonstration agent in
Grady County, of which Chickasha is
the seat, arranged with the Chief of
Police and the Judge of the City Court
to give him an "option" as it were,
upon all the Migrants and idlers ar
raigned. The county agent promised
to use his best efforts to secure a job
for every man who expressed a will
lingness to go to work on a farm.
Transient Migrants and local idlers,
alike, were unhesitant in deciding.
Given a choice of Jail or the county
road work or of hard farm work at
fair wages, they became enthusiastic
"back- farm" advocates.
The county agent has an arrange
ment whereby the city and county au-
thorities feed these men until they are
place on farms. And that, usually
is very quickly. The agent is in touch
with farm-labor needs all over the
county and has been able to place all
promising material without delay. In
one day during the last harvest sea-
son he furnished farmers with eighty
nine men, and upon several occasions
he has furnished sixty to sixty-five
farm workers in one day. These men
are free agents entirely. They work
voluntarily for the wages agreed upon.
They can leave if they desire. But
there is one thing they can not do
remain in Chickasha, Oklahoma, and
not work.

M|LL|ONAIRES IN
FARMING CLASSES
STILL VERY FEW

Many people think farmers are be-
coming millionaires. In the March
Farm and Fireside there is an editor
ial that says:
with the value of the field crops
and the animal products of 1917 Of
ficially set at $21 ,000, 100000 the i'm
preston is likely to get abroad that
the farmer is enjoying excess profits
to an extent which the steel magnate
and the munition maker never dream
ed possible. But the truth is that it
is not all velvet to the farmer, even
with corn and wheat and hogs at the
high prices they are nowadays.
while the value of farm products
has been soaring, the value of prac
tically everything the farmer has to
buy has been ballooning over the
prices of the things which he raises
and has to sell. For instance, be-
fore the war steel sold for $50; it now
sells for $3.50. The effect is felt in
the price which the farmer must pay
for all his implements and tools.
within the last two or three
years coal has advanced in price from
100 to ESQ per cent, wire has gone up
100 per cent, wagons are selling for
40 per cent. more thar they used to,
prepared foods have advanced 100
per cent, fertilizers have risen in
price 500 per cent, and so on. Bind
ing Irvine has advanced from s to IS
cents. Plow shovels that were bought
for $3.50 before the war now cost 81.
Cultivators sold at $28 before the war,
and now sell for from $50 to $55.
Even seed has advanced outrageously
and will bring an unheard-of price
this spring.
1.-The farmer is enjoying unusual
prosperity He is raising bumper
crops. He is getting good prices,
something like the prices he has long
deserved. But if any city man thinks
it is all coming in and nothing go
ing out, he has another conjecture
The farmer is paying the toll of the
war-as much as any other man, if
not more"
