30,000 Farm Hands Are Wanted By Canada.

Chicago, March 27.—Efforts'of the Canadian government to obtain 30,000 farm hands in the United States have met with limited success, according to W. J. White, inspector of Canadian government agencies in the U. S. Mr. White returned to Chicago today after a trip to all general agencies in Dlinois and other central western states. “Owing to the late spring farm laborers are already employed in their own localities for the most part,” said Mr. White, “and as their wages are higher we have been able to obtain only a few thousand of the large number needed.” ~ -~-
