We may enlist a million brave Atn erican women to help save the crops, especially In the state with a large foreign population, but even then there will be a labor shortage in the great west. The ranchers of the San Joaquin valley of California have met In con vention and asked that the immigra tion bars be lowered that half a mil lion Orientals be admitted to help harvest crops. The literacy test, the exclusion laws, the hostility of the labor un ions and the labor press are all ob stacles to such a movement to re lieve the labor famine that seems to follow.
