A tourist, signing himself as THE
Man from Ohio without Kick"
writes us concerning the complaint
that is frequently made relative to
the poor quality of fruit and vege-
tables served at eating houses gen.
orally in the State. This tourist is
fortunate in two respects-he chose
Lakeland as the place in which to
spend the winter, and he secured an
exceptionally good boarding place.
Consequently he says he has enjoyed
the finest winter vegetables fresh
from Lakeland gardens, and delicious
oranges and grapefruit from Lake
land groves. All visitors to the State
are no tso fortunate, however, and we
regret to state that our own personal
observation in hotels and restaurants
lead us to believe that there is often
grounds for the complaint that the
fruits and vegetables served are not
always of a quality that do the State
credit. People who undertake to feed
the public make pennywise mistake
In the false economy of serving other
than the best fruits and vegetables,
of which there is always good sup
ply available at cost very little in
excess of the greatly inferior article

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

The most serious aspect OF the Ia
Dor situation in this country today is
that of farm labor. The farmers are
offering from $50 to 500 month,
and board, of course, and in some iso-
lated cases as high as $780, This
sounds like gross exaggeration, but
this information is obtained from la
Dor agencies and from the State De-
partment of Agriculture and the Col
lege of Agriculture. Even half the
high figures given above is big wages
for unskilled labor--with board and
lodging and laundry services in addi-
tion,-and yet it does not attract. The
farmers are seriously embarrassed
for lack of workers and hundreds of
thousands of acres will go implanted,
we are told, for want of manpower to
do it. That will mean reduced pro-
| duction, and reduced production will
mean high prices.
The solution of this dilemma is not
| in sight, although some factors bear
! ing upon it have presented themselves
I for consideration. Farm life has in
the long past been mainly drudgery
That is what has driven the boys and
girls, sons and daughters of the farm
ers, away from the home acres into
the towns and cities. The allurements
lof the swhite ways the advantages
both for pleasure and education ano
comfort afforded the city dweller over
4 the dweller on the farm have very
naturally brought many from ths
country to town.
What solution is there except better
Involvement on the farm in the way OF
| better pay, more opportunity for re-
lcreation and better living conditions

these things are coming, that the sit
iuation is improving in this respect, thu

try would be more discouraging than
it is But for the introduction of
labor-saving machinery, the automo-
bile, the telephone, electric light, the
farm house with all its modern con-
veniences, and, more important than
all, good roads, we might almost des-
pair of retaining upon the farm the
ambition, the energy and the intelli-
gence necessary to make agriculture
profitable.
But in these latter days we are COM
ing TO recognize agriculture as sci
entific industry, and the application
of scientific principles and business
methods is converting it into an at
tractive field for intelligent effort
and for profitable enterprise, and
nothing will better promote speedy re-
alization of that most important re-
suit than the construction of a COM
pIete system of good roads. Indeed,
the prosperity of the agricultural in
terests Of our state depends today
more upon this one factor than upon
anything else, for when farm even

ulation center is connected by road

quickly accessible, farm residence and

It was my father who came home
in the evening with his mouth full Of
poor Jim. He had been deadly drunk
since midday, had been down to West
house Links to fight the gypsy cham
pion, and it was not certain that the
man would live through the night. Ny
father had r,et Jim on the highroad,
dour as a thunder cloud, and with an
insult in his eye for every man that
passed him. "Guid sakes!'' said the
old man. Hell make fine practice
for himself If breaking bones will do
it." Cousin Edie laughed at all this,
and l laughed because she did, but I
was not SO sure that it was funny.
On the third day afterward I was
going up Corriemuir by the sheep
track, when who should see striding
down but Jim himself. But he was
another man from the big, kindly fel-
low who had supped his porridge with
us the other morning. He had no col
lar nor tie, his vest was open. his hair
matted, and his face mOttled like q
man who has drunk heavily overnight.
He carried an oak stick, and he
slashed at the whin bushes on either
side Of the path.
"Why, Jim!" said /.
But he looked at me in the way that
I had often seen at school when the
devil was strong in him, and when he
knew that he was in the wrong, and
yet set his will to brazen it out. Not
q word did he say, but he brushed past
me on the narrow path, and swag-
gered on, still brandishing his stick
and cutting at the bushes.
All well, I was not angry with him.
was sorry, very sorry, and that was
all. OF course I was not so blind but
that could see how the matter stood.
He was In love with Edie, and he could
not bear to think that should have
her. Poor devil how could he help 1t?
Maybe should have been the same.
There was time when should have
wondered that girl could have turned
a strong mans head like that, but
knew more about it now.
For q fortnight I saw nothing OF
Jim Horscroft, and then came the
Thursday which was to change the
whole current of my life.
I had woke early that day, and, with
little thrill of Joy, which is rare
thing to feel when a man first opens
his eyes. Edie had been kinder than
usual the night before. and had fallen
asleep with the thought that maybe at
last I had caught the rainbow. and
that, without any imaginings or make
believes, she was learning to love plain
Jack Calder Of West Inch. It was this
thought, still at my heart, which had
given me that little morning chirrup Of
joy. And then I remembered that If
I hastened might be in time for her,
for it was her custom to go out with
the sunrise.
But I was too late. When I came
to her door it was half open and the
room empty. Well, thought I, at least
I may meet her and have the home
ward walk with her. zigzagged up
the steep pathway, breathing in the
thin, keen morning. air, and humming q
lilt as I went, until came out, little
short of breath, among the whins
upon the top. Looking down the long
slope of the farther side, saw Cousin
Edie as had expected, and saw Jim
Horscroft walking by her side.
