STATE FARMS ARE
STRIPPED OF LABOR

The members of the state board of
agriculture at a meeting held last
week held a discussion as to the prob
lens which confront the farmers of
the state.
The discussion brought out the fact
that the real problem confronting the
farmer is that of finding labor, not
so much efficient laborers as of find
ing any at all.
One said that he had offered an eff
ffcient man $50 a month with Sundays
off and his board but the offer was
refused. He then went to one OF the
various agencies which endeavor to
furnish farm labor and was told that
it could give him a boy who, at least,
was born on a farm.
The farmer agreed to take the lad
at $95 a month and his board, al
though he had his doubts. When the
boy arrived he was told to groom or
clean off, the horses and the work
had progressed but a short time when
the farmer heard sounds of violent
disagreement ON the part of the hoy
and the horses and upon investtgat-
ing, found the former complaining
that one of the latter had kicked
him. Further research showed that
in cleaning off, the horses the lad
had used a hoe. The boy said farm
work was too hard" and he quit
work the next day.
Then another member remarked
that he had applied to a. labor hui
reau for a farMf hand and was told
that one would report the next day.
He did, coming out from a nearby city
in an automobile which he had hired
for 81. When the farmer asked him
why he did not come by train, the
farmhouse being a mile from the
railroad station, the man said he did
not care to be seen Juggling his suit
case from the station to the house.
He remained on the job two days and
then left.
1t developed that the most efficient
labor which the farmers had found,
according to their experience in 1917,
was that of Polish and italian women
who they said were diligent and in
telligent as to farm work though they
were barred from certain forms of
labor such as using horses and farm
machinery. They had strong hopes of
the movement started in New Haven
by which business men will volunteer
to assist the farmers during the busy
season. This work they look forward
to not only because it might aid them
but also because it might help the
city men to a better understanding of
farm problems.
1t appeared, according to the con-
versation, that the scarcity of labor
has had two effects upon farm work
| this season. The first is that it has
resulted in a large acreage of small
grains as these bring a crop with the
minimum of labor while the second is
a shrinkage in dairy operations
throughout the state. Herds of cows
have been sold because their owners
could not find the necessary laborers
to care for them and in most cases
the cows have been sold for beef the
buyers being Hebrews, so that the
sale has not meant a transfer of
cattle from one farm to another but
an actual elimination of the herds
The farmers were not finding fault,
or complaining that they had been
Disseminated against but were simply
setting forth their own especial per-
plexities and were discovering that
they were facing common trouble.

OAN41OLO
Despite the present obscurity which
he enjoys" Signor Giovanni Giolotti
for many years known as "the real
King of Italy" is still a power in King
Emanuers realm. Giolotti when the
war in Europe broke out was the
leader of the peace party. He was
born in Mondovi and is seventy-six
years old. He first became prominent
in Italian politics some thirty-six
Der of Deputies from Dronero. In
1889 he held his first portfolio in the
government as Minister of the Treas
ury. He has been four times Prime
Minister of Italy, and for many years
was the real power behind the throne.
Giolotti was the leader of the Neu-
tralisti party when Europe went to
war in 1914, and won for himself the
bitter enmity of the Interventisti par
ty, which from the first advocated the
Intervention of Italy on the side of
the Allies, and which finally over
threw him. Prior to this Signor Clio
lotti had almost for a dozen years
controlled the Italian Chamber of
DSPulISo. "A TSD1dThdiDl6 1lluSITdJ1OQ
of his power was afforded by the
downfall of the Sonnino government.
On one day that ministry had a ma
jority of 800 votes in the Chamber,
and the next day the "uncrowned
king declared the ministry at an
end,-and the Chamber fastened to
obey his orders.
THOMAS HARDY.
Thomas Hardy, perhaps the great
est of twentieth century English nov
elists, will celebrate his 18th birth
day tomorrow, having been. born in
Dorsetshire June 2. 1870. The world
famous author is best known as a
writer of realistic novels, but his
work includes much notable poetry,
and he was prominently mentioned
for poet laureate of England follow
ing the death of Alfred Austin. AL
though too old to fight, the aged
author soon after the war broke out
took his pen in hand and hurled
well as appeals to Englishmen to
fight and drive the Hun back into his
lair.
The veteran novelist began his ca
reer as an architect. A little over so
years ago his first literary attempt
saw the light and he was a success
from the start. When he was "a
years old, in 1914, Mr.. Hardy mar
ried for the second time, his bride
being Miss Florence Dugdale, a writer
of fairy tales. She had served as the
novelist's secretary for some years
prior to their marriage, and is 40
years younger than her husband.

to the government for the care Of
wounded soldiers, and there are not
sufficient nurses to take care of them.

Mrs Aldcroftt.

years to become a nurse, Mrs. Aid
croft said, the City hospital was Of

The city not only pays all the ex-
penses of the nurses while they are
in training, even buying their uni
forms, but pays them $40 a month.

During the past three years ending

"During the first year and ending in
