The harvest which has just passed tnessed a greater lack of farm help in perhaps any harvest that we ve known. The cry for farm labor from the Northwest, megaphoned er the entire country, lost none cf intensity when heard at short age. Farmers boarded trains at the Ltion offering $3.00, $3.50 per day d in some cases more for farm help. ;eir solicitations were met by the we and dumb silence of the passen rs. At this point one Is apt to ask rhy," if such Is the case, and there ems to be no doubt but that it is the farm help problem growing eater year after year. There are ny reasons for this-some are lured ray from the farm by the attrac ins of the city, while others turn eir backs to the farm because of the udgery and long hours they are re ired to work on the ordinary farm. is right and proper that the farmer ould work long hours during certain asons of the year In order to save e crop, but we find the largest per ntage do not stop at this point, but ide themselves in early rising, say ; nothing, however, of the work tually accomplished. We do not sh to discountenance early rising, t that in Itself will not be produc e of results. We often hear the old age, "the early bird catches the >rm"-this success was not neces rily due to early rising but to know g where to go; in other words, the rmer should combine with early sing-early and careful planning. Just recently the writer was on an wa farm where a new silo had been ected. It was discouraging to note at the silo had been built eight or a feet from the side of the horse rn, in fact, it was 200 or 300 feet ,m the place where the silage was be fed, viz: the cattle barn; In her words, a large percentage of the age would have to be carried 200 or 0 feet during feeding time. The ergy and time expended as a result carelessly - building the silo at this int can be placed on the "loss" side the ledger. It is not infrequently e case that It takes fifteen or twenty ntes to carry the corn for feeding e horses, and even longer to feed e hogs and other animals, but if the rn crib were properly located it >uld save two-thirds to three-fourths P this work. By the proper arrangement of farm ildings hours of time and scores of Iles of travel can be saved. It is ach easier and usually takes.no more ne to unload a load of corn or grain a crib or bin In the barn or hog use than it would to unload it at corn crib standing several hundred et from either. If we were to visit a modern plant at is manufacturing machines for e farm or other machinery we would id that every casting and every part d a certain route through the works. ie holes are bored or punched with te machine, it is then handed or livered. to the next machine where e milling or planing work Is done; other words, it passes from machine machine until the article Is com eted. If the method practiced on2 any farms were in vogue in factor-2 s, either the price of machines sld .be higher or the factorIes : ald go out of business. - * 0 Conditions and methods have a anged. The farmer now has at his sposal farm equipment which will Lable him to reap greater profits a m the area farmed if he spends : Lrt of his time planning the various 2 ierations than if the old methods S ere followed. He should no longer : ew his occupation In the light of a : y-laborer, but from the angle of a : isiness man. There Is, perhaps, no - cupation that requires any keener dgment and bietter management an to operate a farm successfully. The scarcity of farm labor can be et, in a degree, by so planning oper ions and growing diversified crops to distribute the work over a long period. There is no question but that e farmers In the northwest In the keat sections and the cotton farmers the south will soon realize the Im irtance and necessity, not only from * e standpoint of its effect on the soil, it from the viewpoint of the laborer, practice better and more complete tations. Data collected by the government tsthat the yearly earnings per rm hand is almost directly propor nal to the farm equipment used. i using of a larger number of farm achines and more power, and follow. g better plans, incruding a proper taton of crops, will help-to solve e labor problem. Fodder left in the shoek will lose am 25 to 40 per cent of- Its feeding lue, besides it is a bad practice to: .y the least to haul it in as needed cing the cold winter days. Better an to stack it is aossible. To shred e fodder, you will find more eco imical than stacking.
