I should think that there are occupations on the farmand I have discussed It personally with the Senatorthat are skilled. I do not believe that the ordinary labor as I -know It can take care of the modern machinery that Is necessary on the farm. I do not believe such labor can do it. and for that reason I believe In the provision of ithe bill which provides that where skilled labor can not be found in this country it can be contracted for abroad by applying to the Bureau of Immigration for their permission and setting forth the facts. The term "skilled" is very elastic and comparative. I believe that under certain -conditions some degree of relief could be gotten In the case described by the Senator. but I think that with the hosts of unemployed in America and the demand incident to the harvest time. with the .proper inducement and the proper advertisement throughout the country. you could get all the labor you want to gather the crop.
