Laima truly, AMES WALLACE. Gait, Aug. 3, 7903. UNEMPLOYED MAY WORK. The Town of Mitchell in the Coun- y of Perth is surrounded by a soi splendidly adapted to tho production { sugar beets. It is also a conven- ient and economical potnt from which to ship beets to the Berlin sugar factory, because it is naet waa surrounded by sugar bect land, and i is within the fifty mile distance eon Berlin. In March last, I spent two days at Mitchell and among the farmers with- in a three miles radius of the town. Every farmer had the one complaint of the almost entire absence of farm labor. The Mitchell authorities and believod it impossi- the farmers to procure any help on the farms. Therefore, .one and all said "while it might be very good thing for Mitchell and her farmers to grow sugar bects, tho sonce of labor makes it impossible."' On April 2nd following, William Weir of St. Mary's with his onergetic foreman, R. T. Swales, went there te rent land on which to grow sugar »xcets for the Berlin factory, believing Mitchell possessed certain amount of labor which could be util- . Ile was told at Mitchell that it would be help. Nevertholess. rent land to the extent of sixty -- which was prepared for beets, on which sowing began on May 6th, and concluded on June 8rd.

As an nape of this I quote from a let- er just received from one of the sec- retariea in a northern district: tute. for our one-year-old Institute a suc- cessful start and a prosperous year.

As might have been expected mis- takes were made by reason of the entire newness of this kind of work to most of us, but I think we may congratulate ourselves that the mis- in fact that one ie practically temp- ted to irk it, but it is hard to sit. still knowing the ae dif- ference there is between what is and what might be in the conditions of Canadian farm life. I am pleased to be able to report that we have a capital complement of Branch officers, and if we can but keep this kind of school in working order for a year or two more you | fn may anticipate great results. Personally, it has been one of the greatest pleasures and surprises of my life in the short experience while at work in our winter pmo to meet and make so ma warm friends.
