FARM UP
GROWST SGARE
Oregon Agriculturalists Con
fronted by Shortage of
Help Prices High.
FRUIT ROTS AS RESULT
Fruit Inspector Held Relieves In Chi
nese Lnbor Says They Make
Good Hands.
(Oregon Journal.)
"Ten thousand farm laborers can
bo used at once in Oregon and be
clven steady employment 'tho year
round," says Fruit Inspector Rled.
Unless some relief is forthcoming In
the near future tho Oregon farmer
will find himself confronted with an
exigency that threatens to assume
colossal consequences. Tho Oregon
producer will be unable to compete
against the eastern grower because
of tho steadily increasing wage de
manded and paid the farm laborer.
"Every thoughtful agriculturist
realizes the truth of this assertion,"
says Rled, "whether ho bo a grower
of h'ipd, fruit, grain or a dairyman.
Mildard C. Lownsdalc, for Instance,
tho most extensive orchardlst in Ore
gon, last year lost IB carloads of ap
ples because the labor to gather the
crop was not available.
Hop Growers MIr Loascrs.
"Losses that will aggregate in tho
hundreds of thousands will bo sus
tained by tho hop growers alono in
Oregon during tho .present season
liecauBe of the short condition of the
labor market. Buyers are offering
7 cents a pound for the product and
pickers can not be secured to save
tho crop for $1.10 a hundred pounds,
a price very seldom paid for picking.
"In tho east tho average wage paid
tho farm laboror is $ 1.50," continued
Mr. Rled, "while we are compelled to
.pay $2.50. What will eventually be
the consequenco with the trend
toward higher wages and labor more
scarce?"
Mr. Rled belioves in Chlncso labor
and tells his experience with both
Japaneso and Chinese.
"The Chinese is an ideal farm
hand. I would trust him to work
about the farm In preference to many
others and certainly before a Japan
eso. I can handle my product each
year with eight or ten Chinamen In
eight weeks. I hire the same crew
each year. Once I tried Japanese.
I hired 42 before the crop was all In.
Orientals GoIiik Home.
"Tho Chlncso aro going back to
China very rapidly, and staying
there. Chinese labor Is becoming
exceedingly scarce. I have just
heard of one of my men, Chung, who
left mo a year or two ago. Ho now
owns an orchard In China, raises nuts
for tho trade and is getting rich. Ho
knew more about horticulture than I
and taught mo many valuable littlo
tricks'
Tho samo is true of Ring of tho
Soth Lowollyn place. Ding was tho
Chinaman after whom tho now fam
ous Ring cherry was names.
Ho now owns an orchard In China,
raises faucy nuts and fruit and is get
ting rich. Chinese aro leaving Ore
gon in great numbers cvory year and
this fact also tends to tho, scarcity of

TO THE PUBLIC
Davis & Davis, proprietors of the A street Delecates
sen, regret being compelled to announce that after SAT
URDAY, Sept. 14, they will be compelled to discontinue
serving meals and lunches until such time as they can
get more commodious quarters.
This move on their part is due to the remarkable
growth of their bakery business, which is far beyond their
anticipations. In fact the growth has been wonderful
and we desire to thank the public for their somewhat
generous patronage.
We will confine ourselves exclusively to the bread, pie,
cake and delecatessen business.
