From all over the Yakima valley there is going tip the cry for help in the harvesting of the crops. A man who lives at Wapato, the little' town 12 miles south of here on the Indian reservation, was in ,the city today searching everywhere and offer ing exceptional - wages in an effort to get 86 men which he said he must have In' order to take care of the 600 acres of alfalfa which he has Just started to cut Counting the needs of all the ranchers la his locality, this man says that 100 men could go to work near Wapato to morrow and most of them could And employment for many "weeks. The hay making will, require 20 days and about the time this harvesting is over hop picking will be on. - . J---- The shortage of man in this looallty at this time 1 - blamed on the police authorities who. -have- been arresting men right' and left for . riding In on freight trains, pressure is being brought to bear on the officer to have them. be. more lenient in order that full crops' may. be harvested. y .i- , . r- - , ' n ssj 11 1 "tine ', U.'v' i -V..f.
