The farm laborer

Citation: Shepherd, G. R. Some hysteresis tests on iron. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1902.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: A farm laborer in this country is a person who works on a farm for hire, and he is not a person who has a tenant proprietorship in a farm. He is one of the necessary beings that is becoming so scarce on our farms today. It is he who is now puzzling the minds of our farmers all over this broad land. The farm laborer problem has become a difficult problem to solve. Why is it? The question naturally arises; Is it because the farm hand does not receive steady employment? Are the working hours too long or the wages too low? Or is the treatment received from his employer not satisfactory? The writer will try and solve this problem by a series of illustrations together with a recitation of his experience as a farm laborer. It is a very general admitted fact today that one great check upon successful farming at the present time is the want of steady,competent and reliable help. Many who have invested their capital in lands and stock have gone out of the farming business because reliable help could not be obtained; and others have for the same reason deterred from entering upon agricultural pursuits. The problem of securing good help on the farm is growing worse every year. But in some localities, especially where the foreign element prevails, many farmers are fortunate in being blessed with large families, the greater part of the work being done by the farmer himself with the help of his good wife and children. However, in the western Kansas wheat belt there are seasons of the year when it becomes necessary to hire additional help to take care of the great crop, and many laborers from the corn belt further east travel westward to assist in harvesting the crop. But his work lasts only a short time, while the expenses of getting

Judicial Regulation of Court Procedure

Anciently, regulations of pleading and practice were principally of judicial origin. Some were the result of judicial decisions in individual cases; others were court rules formally declared; some few were enactments of parliament, the latter of which were attempts to mitigate some of the most technical of the asperities of common law pleading. By the beginning of the nineteenth century the rules of common law procedure had become so rigid and formal that some relief, other than from the courts themselves was imperative. In England it took the form of the civil procedure act of 1833, which provided for the formulating of rules by the common law judges for the simplification of pleading and practice. The Hilary Rules of 1834 were accordingly promulgated. In this country various statutory modifications of the ancient rules were enacted. The early experiences of England under the Hilary Rules and the experience generally with patchwork procedural reform led to the adoption of the Field Code in New York in 1848. Whereas the English act of 1833, while commanding simplification, left with the judiciary the methods of accomplishing it, the New York experiment effectuated a practically complete transfer of procedural regulation from the courts to the legislature. The Field Code has been widely copied and is the basis of most of the systems of procedure in our country today
