Anticipated Shortage
1 of Labor

With the entrance of the United
States into war, Mr.. Wilcox says, it was
anticipated that there would be a short
age of farm labor. Possibly 10000 men
had been attracted to Canada by the lib
eral offers and urgent needs of the gov
ernment there. Thousands of Mexicans
recrossed the international boundary nm
der the impression that if they remained
he:e they would be forced into military
service. Many thousands of laborers
were drafted from the farms by indus
trial centres, and then, with the creation
OF the army, workmen were required
Tor building cantonments, for the ship
yards, the automobile industry. The

ment of Agriculture have been busy. with

\ Chance for City Boys as
"A Well as Farmer Boys

There are 100000 boys in the United
States between the ages of sixteen and
twenty-one years. Farmers sons nat
urally return to the farm for the sum-
mer vacation. They and many other
boys have had some experience with
farm work. Large numbers of city boys
without previous farm experience, with
little patience on the part of the farm
cr may be trained into valuable farm
hands. There is a great crowd of CITY
dWellers who take an annual vacation.
preferably at out of door work. And
there are women. "The English govern
ment has had extensive and satisfactory
experience with women as farm labor
ers,' Mr. Wilcox points out, and 10000
women trained in camps in England have
been found to be Of high value, as shown
by the voluntary reports of farmers with
whom they have found employment. He
notes similar reports from the farmers
on the work of girls from Columbia and
the Manhattan trade schools trained at
Mount Kisco. But, Gin careful survey of
the distribution and use of labor in North
Carolina it was found that only about
40 per cent efficiency was obtained dur
ing the last cropping season among negro
laborers. In Maryland a study Of the
work performed by the farm laborers
including both the family and hired
laborers indicated that farmers and their
hired help do only about 100 DAYS work
each year." He thinks general speed
ing up will produce results without anv
additional farm labor:
More work can be done with the same
number OF laborers. This has been ac
compilshed on thousands of individual
larms and the experience Of Canada shows
that 1t can be accomplished in a nation as
whole. The Canadian example is one
which merits close study and enthusiastic
emulation. Canada, with a population of
100000, has sent 100000 of her younr men
to FRANCE If we placed a proportionate
number OF our. population in active mill
tary service the total would be $3.50 oO0
notwithstanding the large army of mon
which Canada has taken from her popula-
tlon Tor military service, the dominion in
creased all of its essential industrial opcr
atoms and also greatly increased the ex
port OF all important agricultural products.
IN other words, Canada did great deal
more than heretofore and with fewer men.
Inc problem was solved by speeding up and
by more efficient distribution and ut;l;za-
tlon or the available man-powcr."
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

The suggestion for importing Chinese
labor he disnisses on the ground that
they could not be brought over in time.
And there would be need of interpreters.
The same objection holds good as to
German war prisoners, or refugees from
devastated countries. But thousands of
Mexicaps can be brought across the bor-
der again, and if Texas needs cotton
plckers, Porto Ricans can be utilized.
mo evidence has been obtained,' Mr..
Wilcox says, "that more men were hired
on farms in 1917 than in 1916. There
has been general speeding up of farm
work on the part of the farmers them
selves. The amount of family labor was
considerably increased over that of the
previous year. Women in particular did
an unusual amount of farm labor" Here
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

is the main difficulty as Mr. Wilcox
sees it:
"The problem of farm labor is not new
one. 1t has always existed. The farmer
has always complained of the nefficiency
OF the farm laborer and the laborer in turn
has always complained of poor housing
conditions, poor food, and bad tseatmen
on farms. The laborer has complained
more bitterly perhaps of irregularity in
hours than of the length of the days work
on the farm. He has also resented the fact
that IN many instances his social status is
wholly anomalous and indeiinable since be
appears to be neither "A member of the
family nor of any other recognized status.
In TACT, he seems to feel that from the
viewpoint of the farmer he is neither flesh,
fowl nor good red herring. 1t is plainly
necessary that both parties should get to-
gether and reach an understanding. Each
must meet the others reasonable require
ments."

"The results obtained in our farm
labor work of the last crop season indi-
cate that there is labor enough in the
country if it is properly distributed and
efficiently employed" This conclusion
is presented in "The American Labor
Legislation Review" by E. V. Wilcox, of
the United States Office of Farm Man
agement. "The situation requires pa
tlence," he asserts, "and above all gen.
timely productive work on the part of all
citizens. There is urgent work for all.
No one has a good excuse to-day for not
working. There is no place in the pres
ent economic system for loafers or
slackers." The farmer, he thinks, is
gradually realizing that with the present
price of farm products he can pay higher
wages, and the whole country is awaken
ing to realization of the duty of every
citizen to find niche where he can be
of the most service. But he says:
"The necessity for higher efficiency of
labor and for more extensive use of labor
saving devices and cropping systems de-
signed for the better utilization of farm
labor has been too largely considered a.
an academic proposition. This necessity is
now condition, not a theory The real
problem before us is, therefore, not to find
laborers in China or Timbuctoo to do orr
work. but to do it ourselves. We arc going

classes of our population we shall surely

There are several sources of farm
labor, ne asserts, not fully utilized now.
There are 100000 retired farmers in the
United States not now employed with
any ganful occupation, but the fact that
they have retired indicates that thew

oring to supply the demand revealed by
extension and more efficient management
of their employment offices in the larger
cities. Mr.. Wilcox says:
"fhus far the only serious phase of the
farm labor problem is concerted with Sc

away from the farm by the economic at
traction of higher wages in city Industries,
