FARM LABOR SHORTACE.
The labor difficulty, unfortu
nately, is primarily one of sup
ply at any price, ami seeon I
arily one of paying vas;es
unprecedented in asrieultur. 1
work. A newspaper recently
nade a survey of labor otili
tions in California ami reports
as result of its invest iuation
that California will this year
produce smaller crops than
"heretofore and that the out
standing reason is the shortage
and high cost of farm labor.
Lands that formerly produced,
it finds, will lie fallow in some
instances. In others, lands here
tofore used for crops that re
mi ire heavy labor are being
planted to forage crops that can
be handled largely by machin
ery. Stub conditions are not
confined to California but are
found general throughout th'
country.
Like reports are comint: from
the t:reat wheat belts of the In
land Kmpire and some sections
of the northwest. The farmeis
of the Willamette valley are al
so complaining of a shortage of
farm labor.. It is a serious
problem and one for which a
solution should be sought.
In another column of The
News will be found a report on
th: matter by a prominent
Springfield farmer.

FIGHTING FOR ITS LIFE.
The stranglehold of the car
shortage is shutt hit: ' off the
wind of the lumber industry of
the whole notth'A'estein coun
try. The local situation does
not improve and one sawmill
liear Springfield has been shut
flown for some time n account
of ko'k of 'ars to .-hip 'h'-ir
lini.hed product to marker.
The freight car supply of ')'
Co !;,;.'' i e; hi.al ed to be oliiv
to
I" celif of 'lie l'eipiir
number, says an authority on
this subject.
Suppose the government ope
ration of banks gave the people
only t'.tt to 7." per cent of the
money needed to transact busi
ness. Would not everybody suffer0
That is just what is happening
in the lumber industry, and the
whole northwest is suffering.
No wonder Secretary Allen of
the West Coast Lumbermen';
association cautions sawmills
against piling up high cost
stocks.
The railroad administration
ordered daily delivery of 57"
cars to western roads but aver
ages less than l."0 a day, ac
ording to reports.
If all the cars were equitably
distributed the northwest would
be getting twice as many cars
for lumber.
It is said that the railroads
are using the cars to replenish
their coal bins and ice houses.
