Farm Labor Situation Acute

The farm labor situation is so acute
this wear that it would seem there is
bound to be a reaction. The prob
lem is not rural one by any means
1t concerns cities just as surely as it
concerns farms.
The only advice that can be offered
is for farmers to grow crops requiring
a minimum of attention, and to sup
plant, where possible, man labor with
machine and horse labor.
Higher priced food seems inevitable
if farmers are to be put in position
to bid in the labor market. Windham
County, as the other counties in the
state, and also nation, are hit hard by
the lack of good labor at reasonable
prices.
The supply of farm labor. accord
ing to Mr.. Sanders, Field Agent in
New England for the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, is 35 per cent to As per
cent less than normal, and 10 per cent
to 20 per cent less than year ago.
Farm labor wages are 10 per cent
to Is per cent above year ago, and
about lis per cent above prevailing
rates in 1910.
The movement of population, both
of floating labor and of farmers, is to
industrial centers, the drawing power
being wages much higher than farm
ers generally can pay, shorter hours,
more attractions, diversions and
amusements, aided often by the feel
ing that it is a losing struggle to oper-
ate the farm longer, trying to keep up
production.
The disposition among many per-
sons in cities and in industrial centers
to lessen production; to forget their
duties to society as whole; and the
advocacy of policies that hamper and
discourage the farmer, are having
their certain effect of reducing crop
production.
These conditions, the indifference
and undependability of labor, have
forced numbers of market gardeners
throughout New England to reduce
their acreages, or go out of business,
while driving many general farmers to
give up crops requiring extra labor.
Farmers intend to hire minimum OF
labor, to exchange work among
themselves, or to make the family Ia
Dor meet the need.

from his poultry. The labor of
hens, cows, and men are valuable to
the extent of the production that is
obtained. A hens time is worth two
cents day for egg production. The
value of her time is equal to twenty
per cent interest on the cost of arti-
fetal Matching equipment, says Roy
f. Jones, Poultryman of the Extern
sion Service of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College at Storrs..
If the fertility of your Matching
eggs is low, green feed and exercise
may help. A small amount of clover
hay or rowen thrown into the pen
each day is good, when succulent
green feed is not available.
Do not neglect to get sour skim
milk for your little chicks during the
first week. 1t is worth all you have
to pay for it, because it goes long
