" ii ii C Meehan BID, S.C. t TO OVERCOME SHORTAGE { ttrr Cropping System* And Im proved Implements To Solve Labor Problem It is stated that the 40,000 farm rs who replied to the questionain ent out by the Post Office Depart nent were practically unanimous a: o the scarcity of farm labor and iti fleets on agricultural production. The South probably still has mort ubor than any other section of this ountry, in proportion to the acres ultivated and the value of our fanr roducts. But there is no denying the act that the South has a shortage f farm labor, compared with the ast, and of cultivating our crops y the methods now in use. There is much complaint amonj! armors of this shortage of labor nd yet this complaint does n%t tend j correct the trouble. There always rill be a shortage of farm labor in his country, at least so long as procctive tariffs protect other indusries, and these industries are able i pay better wages than the farmer r farm laboer can make on the arm. This shortage of farm labor rill also continue to exist so long as etter educational facilities, better ving conditiins and more of the ther things which are attractive to len and women, as well as better ages, and supplied by the other inustries in towns and cities. Therefore, this shortage of labor iu:;t be met in some other way. It ems almost certain that it can only e met by a change in our system of arming and by different methods of oing farm work. It is true that it is difficult method of solving the probsm, but the getting of more labor is lore than difficult; it is simply imizssible under present conditions or lose which can be brought about in ie near future. Our farming system must be reganized and a croping system adopid which will not only require less an labor, but which will better disibute the labor which we already ive throughout- the entire year, inead of over a few months, as is alays the case in any one-crop system farming. Moreover, we shalt prob)ly be compelled to devote more ml to grazing, especially the less oductive lands; for with labor arce it must remain high-priced, id the cultivation of non-productive nds with high-priced labor cannot mtinue.But perhaps the best means of imediately meeting this shortage of bur, to some extent at least, is irough the use of better and larger iplements for preparing the lands id cultivating the crops. This meth1 has been often pointed out and itrlggestion is easy, but it is not an isy solution of the problem, howler. Our fields are small and irregur and filled with stumps, drainage tches, hillside ditches, clumps of ees and brush, and other obstrucjns to the use of larger labor-saving iplements. But by all odds greater istacles to the use of labor-saving iplements are our long-used methods r cultivation and our well fixed habs, which are aljvays hard to break, ut perhaps the greatest obstacle of 1 is that those who direct farm lair in the South are not only them uuunu ciown Dy mc same old ibits, but are aiso unable to teach 10 laborers how to use these modern nplements because they have themilves never operated them. No one in teach an ignorant man or a ners how to operate an implement nless he himself konws how to op te it. Such laborers cannot be told, ley must be shown. Hut the problem must be met and, i we see it, there is no prospect of solution except through rearrangeon t of our copping system and the aking of conuditions such that the se of lager, labor-saving implements ill be practieeable. There is no use impiaining of a labor shortage or ting that our cropping system and el'.iods of cultivation, particularly F preparing the land cannot be ringed. More labor will not be avai!jle, and the only possible means of Beting the shortage is to enable a an to do more through a better ?lisibution of his labor throughout the hole year, and through the use of irger implements and more power. The high price of farm labor must B met ami ovecome in exactly the ime way.?The Progressive farmer. UTLAW STRIKE SEEMS TO HAVE COLLAPSED Ti e "outlaw" strike' which was art. .1 in Chicng > by a switchman aired John Grunnj.u, and which has it I very serious results in nearly all i pping centers between that city n 1 the At': ntic Coast, scorns to have I)..ui pluyed out. It has never yet in n deli.lately ascertained what luscd the walk out nor j.ist what le strikers wanted. They just star d walkilift out and many thousands ere idle in a few hours. The varius unions to which railroad workers elong refused to countenance the Lr*' e and in no ense did .the road} ecognize the strike as such. The Irotherhood of Railway Trainmen re considering revoking the licene.: of a number of the locul unions hat joined the strike in bodies. Findug themselves without union backig and in many cases liable to the iovenment for violation of the antitrike laws the men have been reurning to work and it is thought hat by the end ?f the week all oads will be operating with full orcea. ONIONSJN MILK riavor and Odor Not Umbwoli some But Very Objectionable. Remedlee Suggested Clem son Collage, April 11.?WH - the coining of eprtaK and fresh pai , turoe a great many farmers, mil . producers, and oonsuraars are cot fronted with the usual, and to a oei tain extent inevitable, flavor an > odor of onions la milk products. Th i presence of onion flavor In milk doe not indicate that the milk eontainln * this flavor has been produced o i handled under unsanitary condltloni nor does the presence of the flavo and odor render the milk unwholt some for human consumption. Du : the onion flavor In milk, even to slight degree, is such a pronouncei and unpleasant one to the great ma Jorlty of consumers that from a oorr mercial standpoint all milk so affeot . ed Is unflt. Cream from this mill I may be used for butter rnaklnr though the resulting butter will stl! retain the objectionable flavor to i 1 marked degree. As a result of thi trouble In milk, many produoers an< dealers suffer every spring constdsi ' able financial loss, a part of which at least could be avoided If prope precautions were taken and prepara tion made for the short time durini i which the trouble arises. As to remedies and treatment n "oniony" milk, the only sure and e! fectlve mouna Ilea in promotion. I oniona are present in the paeturi thoy muat come out, or the milk cov must be kept out for several houri prior to milking time, else the mill will surely have the characterise objectionable odor and flavor. Shoul< the onions be few, or should they tx confined to a limited area. It migh be poAsible and adviaable to pull uj the plants by hand before seed ar< produced and thu-i eventually rid th< pasture of them. On the other hand If the pasture Is badly Infested th< only course to follow is to take th< milk cows off the pasture early ir the afternoon, at least four or flv< hours before milking time. The onion plant Is one of the fir# to begin growing in the spring, anc the cow, with her natural craving foi green succulent feed at this seasor of the year, is not at all parttculai about what she eats while the gran Ing Is so scant. In this connectlor a grating lot of rye or rye and barley or clover and barley serves a double purpose. If the cow Is allowed ac cess to such grazing lots for an houi or so ?each day not only will her mill flow be very much Increased but hoi hunger for green feed will be satis fled to suoh an extent that she wil be more careful about grazing or wild onions while In the pasture. The onion flavor la milk Is only one. though perhaps the mnHt pro aounced und objectionable, of man) food flavors which often get lnt< milk from the oow. Such feeds ni rape, rutahages. cabbage aad wei brewer's grains, when fod either Just prior or during milking, often Imparl quite pronounced aad objeotlonabl* flavors to milk. Any of the abovi foeds, however, may nafely bn fe<! just after milking or several houn before milking without affecting tfc< flavor of the milk in ojiv way. Be It is where renditions mako it neoes sary to grain milk cows on onion in tested pastures. If the cows arc turned on these pastures immediately after milking tn the morning ant! then driven up about noon, then should be little M any trace of onlor I flavor In the milk. Especially is this true where the cows are allowed t< Bruiu uu KIC'II KinsiBK ivn wuu u ar* free from the wild onions or where < Rood grade of corn silage is fed as i succulent feed. Various methods of removing th? onion flavor and odor from milk ar contaminated have been tried oul with little success. Perhaps the mos< common as well as the most effee tlve treatment is that of aeration Hut even with this method, th? amount of the oblectlonabla flavoi and odor removed Is so small that 1 Is impossible to render conUuninat?< milk free from taint. 9ummary. 1. Allow milk cows to run on on Ion Infested pastures only la the fore noon. Drive thorn up four or l!v? hours before milking time. 2. Provide green grazing lots, oi have an abundance or corn silage. t< Increase th? flow of mltk and to ap pease the cow's craving for greer feed. 3. Take extra precautions with th( handling and cooling of the mllh Ir order that no bad odors and flavor might develop to augment the objoc tionahle ones front the onions, AVOID COUNTRY DAMAGE TC COTTON In a recent tost hy the Bureau o Markets It was shown that a bale o .
