SHORTAGE OF FARM HELP

Talking the other day with good
farmer friendrAa man who has lit
orally worked himself down this
summer making crop-he stated
that a few days ago he offered $500
a day to some negroes sitting in the
court yard in Dresden to help him
save his hay crop-and not lick
Of help did he get, even at this I'M
heard-of price.
The shortage of farm help is
alarming. Unless there is some re-
lief it is going to bring about
shortage of food and feed stuffs
that will be even more alarming.
We do not wish to appear as an
alarmist, and believe that the read
ing, thinking element of our read
ers will appreciate th$ what we say
is a naked truth. Improved farm
machinery, it's true, will relieve the
situation, but it takes time to edu-
cate the people up to this new
method Of producing stuff from the
soil. For thousands and thousands
of years farm crops have been
grown by man and horse power and
the sweat of the brow, as it were,
and to adopt the power method OF
farming will require more than just
d few months or a few years or five
years.
But we have reached a period
when this new order OF things IS
forced upon US and the machine
method of farming must be adopted.
The young man has been attracted
to the big manufacturing centers by
the high wage scale paid, leaving the
farms to the man who yesterday
thought he was ready to retire and
enioy life. Just this week the En-
terprise turned down an order from
big manufacturing firm for ad-
vertising space to run four weeks
advertising for help. We felt that
To n1blish the Same for the few pal
trv dollars it would net us would
place many another farmer IN lhe
same attitude as the one who OIL
y fered niggers S. day to help MN
save his crop by attracting number
of our young men from the farms 10
the city, when, really, he is mucn
better situated than the fellow II
the big factory. He has more tree
dom better health and will live
! longer, even though his wage is mo-
! 50 much per week. Fact OF the
business is, our observation na'
bann that about half Of the boys wh(
90 for the big jobs at these Dig
wages generally write home to da'
: for railroad fare back home.
But back to the machine metho'
r Of farming. We are reliably in
e formed that on those few farms il
I weakley county where the roV
(riding) cultivator has been use'
: Yois season those farmers were u
n with their work and ready for tn
i! heoent hains, whereas, where thu
= imnlement had not been used thes
1t fornoors were in most cases from
3 week to two weeks behind Thu
# n will be seen that this one nipple
e ment which doesn't cost much, is
T. great labor saver. That is what W
l i. must figure on when planning 10
Il our next crop-just how much W
N can accomplish with the visible SUI
NV of help and the addition of ID
~ bor-saving machinery.
