THE FARM LABoRER AND HIS HIRE.

SCARCITY Of farm labor is not entirely imaginary and
to that extent the statement Of John W Walden super
ntcndcn OF the state free employment bureau here /, uu
convincing However The Times ha, pointed ont before
and as Mr. Walden emphasizes, paving ample wage will
90 far toward securing adequate working force for the
farms, The very fact iN Kansas farmer, and stockmcn
arc coming to Oklahoma for help and pasIug aboyc the
Oklahoma average, shows src is scarcity OF labor in
Kansas, least and probably elsewhere in the agrcu-
mral regions
So far AS we know. who ever tried it would be
willing to admit that the farm hand doesn't earn all he
gets and he doesn't usually get great deal However,
he is doing little better But surely the farmer can afford
to pay him 1t is a certainty that Kansas farmers
aren't going to pay their assistant, more than they can
afford Long acquaintance with Kansas farmers on their
native heath ban,hcs any such thought as that And there
sound economic why the Oklahoma farmers
shouldn't do we'll 1t is apparent that they will have
to If they get help sufficient for the needs Of the coming
| season
But in fairness to the farmers and farm aborer, alike
some OF the advantages OF farm work at this time MY
be pointed out Although the hour, are long and much
OF the work hard it is hca,hu employment And the
board which usually goes with the farm hand, wage looms
large in these days OF high cost OF living Also the farm
hand II he be good one ha, opportunities he might not
find in other fields Many who are now prosperous
farmers worked farm hborcrs when wages were
smaller than they today OF course those earlier ones
had the better opportunity Of chcdper land but their

il is that but these instances OF boarding demand the
spotlight OF publicity that they may be checked, aud that
others may not be tempted to do likewise It papaby

which scarce and which must be- well distributed #

temptation OF the good proydcr get enough to- last is
trait commcndablc enough in normal times, but abnormal
conditions obtain today and the individual must take
c0gnllance Of the common good he never did before
Another thing about this policy OF boarding that It

to those who feel their iorcthough will remove them from
the strc,, and hardship OF times, It is likely to force
