KK i ir la 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.
