In Dundas 10 farmers, in Waterloo 0, io Northumber- b 7, and in Carleton .06, provide yearly employment; or a :total of Olt out of the 400, Those employing be by the month included is in Vuildad, 10 in. Waterloo, 6 in Northumberland and l ikt , Teton, while- those providing >rm- pioyment by the day only, ,were 41 m nuadas, 26 in Waterloo, 5.0 in .Northam Berland and 9" in Carleton. Farmers employing male Trelp by mixed methods numbered 16 in'Dundes, 42 in Watlerloo, 19 in Northumberland and 9 in Carle- ton. Transient employment wasthus provided for '256 men among the . 400 farmers, as against 61, continually em- pl'oyed. Inview of the yearly complaintsre- garding the scarcity ,of farm help, the foregoing data' indicate that much of the troulil.e' is of the farmers' own making. It is too much to expect that a floating labour market can be maintained to sup- ply this large demand at•specified times. At whatare these men' to secure a.liveli- :hood -during the balance of the year, True, there are on the great majority of farms periods of great pressure, when th'e crops Inuit be cared for, and it is' usually at these times that the additional help is'eniployed: - The farmer,is not alone in this situa- tion, however; many of our largest fac- tories and business houses have 'had the same conditions to meet. One of the largest clothing manufacturers .df the United States recently stated that the keeping together of - their staff of skilled workers had been one of their hardest problems They had solved it, however, by utilizing their employees and plant in the rnanufacture of other` lines for which it was adaptable during the ' off • seasons in the clothing trade. So with the farmer. He has at his command a wide range of production. By, so operating his farm, he dan.increase his work at seasons when otherwise' there Would be no employment for his help. Competent help is as economical on the farm as in the factory; training -help is an expensive undertaking. By provid-• ing continuous employment, the farmer not only overcomes this constant train- ing of new men, but -obtains the more valuable assistance of men familiar with his farm conditions. ' One of the maxims of the Schools Division of the. Experimental Union of the Ontario Agricultural College might be adopted with profit by the transient employers of labour, "Learn to look for- ward and plan your 'work." By doing this the slack seasons would be ' eliiliin- ated,.the farm would greatly increase -its production, the farmer would - be better off financially and would also be relieved. of the worry due to the help problem. - tWO RAIDING .ZEPPS. DOWN NEAR LONDON One Crew .Captured, the. Second ' All •Killed -Bombe Killed 28 Men, -Women and Children. Of the twelve big Zeppelins vrhicb invaded the British Isles on Saturday night, to deal death and destruction. from the skies two are now stark and black masses of steel and aluminum. in the little village of Mangold, Essex county. They fell victims of the ,anti- aircraft defences of London and out- lying districts , One came down a flaming • torch, as did the Zeppelin L-21, destroyed three weeks ago, while the second, disabled 1y gunfire, effected a landing, which laved the lives of the crew, who are ,risoners in England: The crew of he first raider died in the consuming :aures of their own ship, but they ° .cere•not so' terribly charred as their .redecessors.

The captain's body was found some distance from the wreck. Thousands Were Watching • The ' wreck and burning of the first Zeppelin was witnessed by tens of thousands of London's residents, but the wounding and descent of the second raider was a matter of doubt, until the official . statements were given out. Many who saw the shrap nel bursting like skyrockets about the° •invader 'which subsequently caught'. fire think there must' have been sev- eral direct hits: Many aeroplanes Were aloft 'and attacked the•Zeppellns from all sides. The London Daily Mair correspon- dent at an east' coast town, describ- ing' the descent of one of the Zeppe- lins and the surrender of the- crew, !I says . that as they struck off inland they emptied their revolvers into the sky and flung' tho' weapons away. When a patrol 'of armed soldiers ar- rived to aid the three policemen who had taken charge sof the Germans, the Zeppelin commander said: "Please allow me to go to the nearest post - office So I may tolephone'to someone -in London wh'o will let my wife know I am safe."
