eral. Certain it. is that we city folk do not fully understand the difficulties encountered by farmers and farmers' wives In the matter of hiring help. It is frequently an easy task to hire men to work on the farm. The proposition of reasonable wages, free board and laundering appeals forcibly to farm laborers. The greatest difficulty is in getting competent and reliable farm help such as the farmer can depend on and hold throughout the busy season. The majority of so-called farm hands are migratory. They are at home where ever their hats are off. They “hire out’’ today and become deserters tomorrow. We have this type of Individual in all lines of business and pro tensions, it is true, but the number of drifting and aimless farm bands is appalling —Evansville Courier. DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE CALL.
