Also an antl loafing law has been passed in nearly every section represented, which expected to add materially to avail able helpers. The rates fixed for harvest are -is follows, the wage including board In every rase: for haying and common hands for harvest, 93 per day; stack ers and header loaders, $4 per day header drivers- and eonibin-e. riV4&ra,9 per day; sack: sewers f 5 per day cooks (based on cooking for a crew of 10 men) $3 per day for men or women. - An interestinc fact broueht out bv thee session Is that practically every farmer with whom any of the agents has talked is running his farm with leas help than ever before, and that he seems to be running it just as well, Front Would Call for 90,- 000 Boche Reserve?.
