An Option On Idlers.

Here is one way of securing farm
labor 1t works. 1t gets results IN
Chackasha, Oklahoma. And in any
county it will help to some extent, at
least, in relieving the farm-shortage.
The farm demonstration agent in
Grady County, 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 arraigned. = The county agent
promised to use his best efforts to Sc
cure a job for every man who eX-
pressed a willingness to go to work
on a farm. Transient Migrants and
local idlers alike, were unhesitating
in deciding. Given a choice of Jail or
the county road or of farm work at
fair wages, they became enthusiastic
"back-to-the-farm" advocates.
The county agent has an arrange
ment whether the city and county au-
thorities feed these men until they
are placed on farms. And that, usu-
ally, 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
season he furnished farmers with
eighty-nine men, and upon several oc-
casions he has furnished sixty to six
ty-five farm workers in one day.
These men are free agents entirely.
They work voluntary for the wages
agEed upon They can leave if they
desire. Bur there is one ling they
cannot do-remain in Chickasha, Ok
Iahoma, and not work.

We have lately come across the
word Sunsense. We never heard it
before. but suddenly we know what it
must mean The man who has sun
sense is the man who sees his neigh
bors and his fellowmen and his town
in the sunlight Things look bright
TO him. His neighbor holds out to
him infinite possibilities of friendl-
ness; his fellowman is worth knowing
better and helping merrily on his
way his town is the best town he has
ever seen and in the sunlight it seems
TO teckon him to come and make it
