Wi BIG DEMANDS AND SHORT-HANDED PROSPECTS (Wiitten Specially for The Bulletin) Of three contiguous advertisements of farm property to be sold at amc- tion, in a recent issue of The Bulle- tin, two frankly stated that the seli- ing was enforced by the farmers’ in- ability to secure help. Good farms, of adequate size, well stocked and fully furnished with’ tools as the list of advertised goods show: ed, But they were to be sold, because thé owners could not obtain laber to carry them on. Nor is this condition by any means an unusual one, or confined to Bast- ern Connecticut. It is the rule, mot the exception, all over the country from Quoddy head to Puget Sound: from the northernmost tip of Maine to the southernmost prong of Texas. Farms enough: land enough: stock enough: willingness enough on the part of farmers—but a veritable fam- ing of farm labor. It has been this way, more or less, for several years: has been steadily sTowing worse, and is destined to continue growing worse. Let us ngt decefve ourselves about that last. Annoying and harmful as the short- age of labor now is, it is going to shorten still more until it approaches dangerously close to the frontier of disaster. We might better accept the fact ang make up our minds to face it ¥or face it we must. There is not only a shortage of la- bor for the farms, but an apparently equal one among the manufacturers and in the trades. We farmers can’t oxpect to zain any assistance from those sources, because they, like us, are crying vainly for help and vet more help. On the other hand, they can often afford and often do offer inducements which we can’t compete ith, thus draining even more than usual from our already too scant sup- ply. One of the marked traits of the American farmer is his ingrained op- timism. ~ However much he _may grumble about the weather and the droughts, he almost invariably is a creature of the most optimistic hope, 7 RS TALK] at heart. Though his steps may be tangled up in a jungle growth of soil- robbing weeds, and his promising acres fairly swarming with hordes of destructive insects, and his devoted head be the constant target of blud- geoning blows from all sorts of ad- verse weather, he usually keeps plod- ding and fighting on, with an ingrain- ed hope that “things'll be better next time.” In this case, he might as well dis- misa any such hope, right now. Things are not goins to be better, la bor-wise: they are zoing to be worse. The demand is going to increase and the supply is going to diminish. We are in for a hard time, and we might as well make up our -minds to it. It is another one of the things for which we have to thank Germany and the atrocious monsters of fiendish guilt wha make up her misbegotten government. Until we lick ’em out and clean the universe of the whole gang which for forty years has de- ceived and enslaved a naturally ad- mirable people, we shall sce no im- provement in this labor problem. Not only must the very flower of our manhood be sent over seas to help in rescuing the world from the deadliest and most sinister enemy which has ever attackea its liberties, but upon those left behind must fall the burden, not only of doing the ab- sent ones' work but of supplying their needs, at the same time. Didn’t the Israelites have to make bricks without straw? We have sat to make munitions and raise food to feed half a world, without half hands enough for just our own domestic work! What are we aoing to do about it? What is the sKipper of the schooner 50ing to do when his foremast has zone by the board and his anchors dragz- ing, an Atlantic gale is blowing him towards a rocky shore? He can call the crew to prayers. Or he can send below for the rum bot- tle and drink himself into stupor. Or, he can summon all hands to feverish work in trying to set up some sort of new foremost by whose aid ke may her home in Mansfield Depot Thursday morning at 11.30 o'clock from apacm’a, with which she had been suffering for some time.

Arthur Murphy. who is in the navy and has been cruising in southern wa- ters, spent the holiday with his sister, Miss Alice Murphy. The dance given by the J. F. F. club (Just ¥ot Fun) at Washburn hall Thanksgiving eve was well attended. Pickett's orchestra furnished music. Between the heavy traffic and the snow, the trolleys on both the South Coventry line and on the Norwich line were behind time most of Wedneaday. Herbert Wheeler, who has been em- ployed by the Atwood Machine com- pany in this city, has resigned and will work as a motorman for the Shore Line Blectric Railway company. Wartime Demand For Cotton ormous. Recent investigations in the use of cotton in war show: A 12-inch gun disposes of a half bale of cotton with every shot fired: a machine gun in operation will use up a bale in three minutes; in a pa- val battle like the one off Jutland over 5,000 pounds a minute are consumed hzouch active warship; more than 20,- 000 bales a year are nezded to provide absorbent cotton for the wounds of the injured: one change of apparel for all the troops mow engaged in the war represents more than a million bales.

My own impression is that we farm- ers have got to up some sort of jury-mast and get some sort of sail on'it, it we have to tear up the first cabin carpet to serve. But how shall we = do scheme or device or K thought of which will in any Lelp us to weather the storm It's a bad job, at the that ‘we can do. Undermanned and _short- ry moment ‘when the exigency calls for double work on double time, how can we hope to do better work than in the past? Or even as much and as good as in the past There's_one thing which has got to come first. That is a full realiza- tion of the actual situation. We farmers are, doubtless, just as pa- triotic as nybody. %ut we ° have been bory to a life of individualism —pardon the big word, I can't of another to say just what into a life largely self-contained and self-directed and self-inspired. We are compeiled, by the very nature of our occupation, to think in terms re- stricted mainly to the farm which we are farming. ¢ have had, always, to hammer out any success we mishi achieve in our own. way and along our own lines. The inevitable result of this en- forced and necessary habit of work is that we are sometimes slow to see the connections between our functions and the multiform activities of the rest of the world ? .What can be degree it We are s laboriously intent upon our own footsteps that we fail to see| the vast armies on all sides of us which are, nevertheless, marching to the same goal. We are 50 engross- ed with the dirt our hoes are stirring that we ignore the mountains tower- ing into the blue horizon. We are so busy picking up potatoes that we hardly notice . the cloud-fiecked heavens rolling in infinite blue above our heads. A good many of ‘us dont seem to realize fully that we are at war;. at war with the most laboriously per- fected and most skillfully conducted war machine ever dreamed of in the devil's sleep: and that we must win that war if we wish to save our lib- erties, to preserve the honor of our women and the lives of our babies. The very first thing that must hap- pen is a chanse in that state of mind We have got to see, shudderlingly if you will, but plainly and unmistak- ably, that the hope of the world, that our ‘own hopes and our own futures and the futures of all those dear to us depend upon ofr winning this war. We have got to comprehend, as plain- 1y and as keenly as we comprehiend the pain of a tooth-ache, that no amount of labor, no degree of sacrifice, no added burden, no all-embracing revo- lution in our own habits and methods and plans is worthy of n second’s con- sideration beside the first, fundamen- tal, paramount and commading neces- sity of saving ourselves and the world from the greatest danger which hag ever threatened it. Eat less meat? Consume less sugar? Stop using gasoline for pleasure trips? Pay extra postage and bigger taxes? ‘Why, of course. But thoge things are only kinder- garten work: just toying with the al- phabet in the infants' primary class. We farmers have got to fave greater sacrifices, before we finish the book. We have got, for one thing, to be willing to give up having our own ways. Ana if there's than that which the average farmer—you please; I can't! any greater hardship could be imposed on name it, There are just two things which in my opinion we've ggt torcome to, at once and as starte: The first is that we must use ma- chinery about ten times x5 much as in the past. . We've got to do the wark or get it done. As our own productive capacities are limited by the hours of daylight and the endurance of our muscles, and as little labor is hirable to supplement our own work, we must fall back on tools. We have got to marage, some way, to cover the ground with fewer men and in les: time. Some of us who can m change to tractors and gang-plows some of us who can must get up culti- vators which will do two, three or four rows at a time instead of one: some of us who can have got to buy expensive outfits and rent them to less fortunate “neighbors wherever feasi- ble. Another thing— We shall have to revert, tempora: 1 chines gultivating and harvesting wel That means that we won' be able to do our awn wark actly the times or in exactly we want it done.
