PEA PICKERS The impression in a great many people’s minds is that pea picking represents a great amount o f labor for a small return and it is not hard to find many pickers complaining over the dollar, or two dollars they received for picking peas. By searching closely you can find pickers who actually hit the ball from starting time to closing time, and you get a different story. We would, like to site the story of Willard Jones of Sennca, Kansas. Mr. Jones was in the drouth region last year and in his garden were cracks in the ground big enough to stick a hoe in. The farmers there raised hardly a thing. This year he came West; and he and his four children ranging in age from ten to fifteen years. Three weeks ago he landed work in a pea field, the first time he had ever tried picking peas outside of picking a bushel or so out o f his garden in Kansas when nature was kinder to that state. Since coming to this section three weeks ago he and his four children have not only lived well but he has banked over $100 toward a rainy day. Last week the check for the weeks work for himself and four small children was $62.00. Now Mr. Jones and his family don’t soldier on the job, nor do they work a few hours and then spend the balance of the time “ resting.” After the first week the field boss never bothered his little bunch because he knew they were picking peas; leaving the “ flats” and vines out of the hamper. The case of Mr. Jones is not phenom- inal. There is one case of a family of seven work ing for Mr. Harris of Fruitland who have aver aged $99 a week for the past two weeks; and they too are out in the field to pick peas. Field bosses will tell you they have some pick ers in their crew who regularly make their 20 hampers a day, which at 25 cents a hamper is $5 a day. It isn’t everyone who can pick 20 hampers a day, but its the people who get in and work so hard they don’t have time to do any kicking that are making good in the pea harvest and these people will make good any where. ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TRIED The government's latest social experiment; that of transporting 2000 persons from Mich igan, Wisconsin anti Minnesota to Alaska seems doomed to failure, if stores in the daily press are any indication. The new settlers are bombarding their senators and congressmen; tthe latter pass the buck to the administration which has started an investigation. The whole scheme could hardly be a success under conditions of today. In the first place there are very few people left who are willing to forgo the pleasures o f life to carve out a new country. They don’t grow the kind of people any more who made the state of Oregon the great state it is today. You don’t find people willing to leave home, friends, comforts to journey forth into a new and dangerous land and pioneer in the the truest sense of the word. The early pio- ners who settled the western country came on their own free will, asked no help from the gov ernment and expected none. It is quite another thing when the government transports settlers to a new country, promises them certain things which are impossible o f fulfillment. The settlers have a right to complain, and from the poor start, it is doubtful if the scheme will ever suc ceed. How much better it would have been to bring these families to the west and settle them on good government land here.If the adminisration was determined to try this type of experiment; the government could acquire suitable land in practically any of the western states, where con ditions would have been ideal for the establish- mnt of such an exneriment.
