1 ARM HELP TO BE SCARCE,—
H. A McDonnell, Director of Immi-
gration for Ontario, is of the opin-
ion that next spring there will be a
larger demand for farm labor than
ever before known in the Province,
and that it will bet to the advantage
of the farmers' to secure help at the
present time. Owing to the eact that
immigration from the Old Country has
been practically at a standstill, and
that so many farm hands have gone
• with the Canadian contingent, a short
age or l bot will be experienced when
the spring comes. There is ao rea-
sen, ivfr McDonnell thinks, why farm-
ers cannot .make arrangements now.
by hiring help on a yearly engage-
ment. In response to the circulars
which have been sent out to farmers,
it is stated that a good many applica-
tions are being received each day for
help If you need a man make eppli-
cation now to C. H. Sanders, 5mmi-
grant Agent, Advocate Office, Exeter
