Legge. the emergency growing out of a shortage of labor is due entirely to the objectionable character of the work. the painstaking care of thinning and weeding small. tender plants. which involves bending. stooping. and even crawling on hands and knees. imposing as it does the sheerest form of drudgery. The result is our own people decline to engage in such work. The temporary employment of alien labor does not mean cheap labor. As a rule. the problem is to secure any kind of labor at any price. The handling and process of reducing the beets into sugar. as well as the feeding of the byproducts to livestock. is all done solely and entirely by our own people and no alien is given such employment.
