ing for better paying jobs.

- DSNNA
There are a number of factors IN
f1uencing the belief that there will
be a scarcity of labor this coming
season. Plants in the industrial dis
tricts of the east have been operating
this winter at about IS per cent of
their capaciy, and while there has
been a slight seasonal surplus of la
Dor in some lines, this surplus is the
smallest in years. In some lines there
has been a shortage. immigration
has been sharply restricted, while all
lines of industry, except farming, have
been steadiny expanding. Because
of the unprofitableness of agriculture
the last year or two, there has been
a big exodus of people from the rural
districts to the urban AMI industrial
centers. The immigration bars have
made jobs readily available to this
migrating rural population. Until
agriculture is more profitable and can
compete for labor on more nearly
equal terms with manufacturers than
it can at present, the drift of popula-
ton will continue from the country
into the cities.

complaining that 5000 had been stolen
from him. The Chink, who conducts

suspected a colored employee, stating
he hid the money in his cellar, but
could not locate it. A detective sug-
gested a search of the cellar. The
detectives made a careful survey,
without results. AS they turned to
abandon their search, one of them
noticed a small bundle of paper move
across the cellar floor. S%pringing up
on the object, ne placed his foot full
upon it. The bundle ceased to move.

Two thousand rose beetles in one

In a lecture on useful Birds in Our
Gardens and Orchards" given recently
at the New York Botanical gardens,
Bronx park. Professor Findlay, who
Is horticulturist in the department of
agriculture at Columbia university, has
spent several years in central New
York and the New England states
studying the habits of birds during
the nesting season.
He has photographed some 200
birds in their natural haunts, and from
these photographs has developed
slides which he has colored with jap
anese transparent dyes. The birds
range from the tiny humming bird to
the great eagles photographed lei
Oneida lake. In his lecture, Professor
Findlay showed some of our most de-
structive insects and their particular
bird foes, showing plainly which spe-
cies help to keep our plants, and trees
from being destroyed by insect foes.
The hen grouse, who was proved to
have made away with 1000 rose
beetles in one day, he used as an II.

WARNS FARMERS LABOR
LIKELY TO BE SCARCE

Helena.-In planning their croI
planting program for this season
Montana farmers should take into
consideration the likelihood of there
being a scarcity of labor for harvest
ing, according to the state depart
ment of agriculture, labor and in
dustry. A grower of potatoes or
corn can raise by his own labor a
much bigger crop than he can harvest
and in view of the general industrial
and employment outlook for this COM
ing season throughout the country,
the department believes it would be
wise for growers not to place too
much reliance upon their ability to
muster labor for a crop that is much
in excess of their own family to har-
vest.
The department also believes that
under prospective conditions it would
be advisable for farmers to hold dis
trict or county meetings in the early
spring to decide upon what wages
they can afford to pay this coming
season, and then to adhere to those
wage scales. Definite wage scales
are of urgent Importance at harvest
time, and rebound to the benefit of
both the grower and the farm hand.
During the harvest eason last year,
in some districts of the state, when
labor was temporarily scarce, grow
ers became alarmed and offered high
err wages than were being paid in adj
joining districts. Harvest hands
quit the jobs they had and focked
to the district where wages were
higher. Then the districts that were
deserted raised wages in excess of
those offered in the first district and
harvest hands quit the first district
and fiocked back where they were
first employed. The increased pay
in most instances was absorbed in
time lost seeking new jobs and in
travelling, so it did not benefit the
harvest hands and greatly increased
the farmers cost of production. With
wage scales definitely fixed and adj
hered to in districts following the
same type of farming and under sim
liar conditions, growers will know
how much money they must raise to g
finance the crop harvest, men will i
not be so restless and they will not
lose so much time or money in look il
