Farmers in the wheat belt have agreed to pay a minimum of 70 cents an hour to harvest hands, In addition to food and lodging, yet there is more than usual likelihood of a labor shortage, according- to - Wade H. Skinner, as sistant general director of the United States employment service. Skinner estimated 60,000 harvest bands from outside will be needed to gather the crop, starting: June 15, when the harvest rush will beirln in Oklahoma. KANSAS NEEDS ' The Shortage of farm hands and the fact that jobs are easr to obtain In Cities, are griven as reasons why federal agents planning to mobilize the harvest labor supply are expecting unusual diffi culties. ; Reports received here give these preliminary demands : Oklahoma, with 2,250.000 acres of wheat, will need 40,000 from June 15 to July 1. " Kansas, with between 7,000.000 and .000.000 acres, will need at least 40.000 men from June 20 to July 15. Missouri, 600.000 acres, will need 6000 men at the same time: 05E DOLLAK AIT HOUR PAID Nebraska, with 3,000,000 acres, re quires 6000 men starting1 early In July and continuing during the month. Harvest in the Pakotaa and Minne sota will be under way in late July, with heavy demands for transient labor. Kansas presents the most serious prob lem, Skinner asserted. More than 70 cents will be paid to experienced. 'Stack ers, engine men and cooks, it is pre dicted. Last .summer, farmers bidding against each other paid $1 an hour in acme counties. , . r An appeal will be made to the rail roads for reduced rates for harvest hands being moved Into the wheat territory.- ...
