ers to do the work than to go with
out the necessaries of life."-Indus-
trial News Bureau, The Manufac-
turer
Statistics and the positive asser-
lions of numberless public investiga-
tors bear out the claim that there is
no real shortage of labor-whatever
apparent shortage there is is due to
faulty distribution and to a propen-
sity on the part of employers to
"bear" the wage scales. The impor-
tation of unlimited coolie labor no
doubt would increase food produc-
ton. This is the only grain of truth
in the statement of the Menufac-
turer. 1t would not place this pro-
duction in the hands of the working
class, as suggested, but would have
lust the opposite effect, rs its ten
dency would b to demoralize and
lower wage standards and working
conditions. The Manufacturer wants
a hi.h tariff wall erected to prevent
importation, of the products of pau
per labor, wholly, so it claims, for
the protection of American working
class standards. To import this pau
per labor and install it in our own
industries certainly would have an
effect more disastrous to wage earn
ers than the importation of the prod
ucts Of that pauper labor from for
eign lands. Import the labor and we
would have to contend with both the
pauper laborer and the products
thereof.
Protection camouflage hiss been
generously augmented in the public
ity intended to bring about law by
congress permitting importation of
Chinese cheap labor. and the desire
expressed by The Manufacturer is
wholly mercenary; the claim that
labor would be benefited is palp-
able fraud.

themselves whether they would not

Sow Oats for Feed or Winter Cover,
But Sow Oats.
In all of Grant parish there is not
farm so small nor one so large but that
there is place on it for oats. Some
of the larger farms may sow oats to be
harvested for grain. while the medium
sized farms will probably find it most
profitable to SOW only for feed, and the
man who has only very small area
can do nothing better than to sow oats
for the chickens. This is crop that
can be utilized for winter grazing; or
if not grazed it can be plowed under IN
the spring to add organic matter to the
soil after having served as winter
cover crop. Or it may be cut In the
dough stage for hay, which is very pal
arable and nutritious, or it may be al
lowed to mature for either feed OF
seed. Where intended for hay Hairy
vetch ought to be mixed with the seed
as it will add to the quantity and quail.
