The unemployment problem is ';;till existent in the cities and the scarc- ity of labor is still complained of in rural disticts The question Is how can the one be reconciled with the other and the one brought to supply what the other needs, and the other to take what the one possesses in excess After the . war there may be a rush of immigration, but that can- not be for a year ateleast. We must, therefore, make the best of the eit- uatior: and try to get along with whai we have. Men who have ac- cepted positions on farms without exception speak in good terms.; of their experience. The pay is not :la- vish ': but the food is good and abund- ant the bed clean and Life in the open brings .a keen appetite for ineals,,.and a pleasant desire :for sound refresh- iine sleep. One man writes, "When I am hungry I have a ; good meal to gd to and when Pan tired, there a nice clean bed w,aitingg.
