The ??\|?ected shortage of labor Is beginning to become manifest and there Is quite general complaint in some seettomi of th- .ountv that hands t.. . hg)p cotton cannot be secured. It Is stated however that there is not so much a scarcity of hands able to work, but a s< ireity of those who tire willing to work. In all sections scores of idle hoe hands are to be seen every day. who will not uo Into the fields and work, although offered titty to one bundled per cent more than the price heretofore paid. In the meanwhile the ? .>m..n OrOp is suffering and the liebls in I..coming more foul With grass ?.\e!<. gjggf II there is much more rainy w.aOn i a huge percentage of the cotton icreage will be aerlous |g .1.. mac I i o.l mm h of it will have tO bo St.imhme.1 The condition is one to . aiise >;ie i uneasiness ami It is dim. nit to find a remedy. If all the people who are abb- to work and have been accustomed to chop cotton would go into HIS Holds at one ami work industriously tin cotton could be chopped out and the crop saved If conditions do not speedily improve It msy be necessary to call upon the food administration to exercise some of Its great powers to conscript labor Those who will not work can be made to work and those who are idle can t.e forced to shov whv tin v an- not working. The gieat war cannot la won on the hattiellehls of France if all the people at home do not work In the fields that produce the food and clothing that the grmj needs. This Is no time for idleness and a la ho slacker Is JuM a shade worse than the military slacker.
