By Umtca Proas
SAL1NA, Kan., June 11. Kansas is
mobilizing a great offensive, on the
eve of the opening of the wheut har
vest. More than 35,000 men will be given
work for a month taking care of a
crop of approximately 0,800,000 acred.
Sufficient labor is now in sight to
handle the crop with a minimum ol
delay.
'Hundreds of harvest hands who
Btartcd cutting wheat crops in Tex
as and Oklahoma the first of June,
are now working northward to fur
nish a largo proportion of the man
needed to fill the demands of the
farmers of tho state. '
Tho day of the prairie schooner hats
como again. Due to In creased railroad
rates, harvest hands arc being trans
ported in schooners to the wheat
lands.
Th harvester usually begins in (he
southwest, working northward through
tho Dakotas, Minnesota and Canada.
The state board of agriculture says
that it expects the harvest to produce
approximately ICOOO.ono bushels of
wheat. About eight percent of tho
acreage is not being harvested, due
to poor condition of crops.
Wheat growers arc paying lor
a 10-hour day, with board. This is
quite a contrast to former years when
farm hands sat on the curb while
farmers bid eight, nine and even ten
dollars for an oight-hour day's work.

COWS SEEK TO EVADE
FATE BY SWIMMING
NAUTICAL COWBOY HERDS BO
VINES FROM MID CHANNEL
WITH MOTORBOAT. '
Four Washington cows, apparently
r.nlizing that they wt'io cnroule to
(ho slaughter house, this morning
attempted to escape their fate by
swimming back to their native pas
.ires, via the Columbia river.
The cows had been brought across
the river on tho ferry. Landing on
tho Oregon side, they suddenly
broke from control and p'.unged
leadlong into the river and headed
mtstrcam. All four boines were
trong swimmers, and soon they hud
ilacrd several hundred leet between
-honisolves and the stuue.
A launch was hastily conninian
leered by tho owner of the cows,
.vhose name was not learned. Hy tho
into tlto launch had headed off the
our animals, they had almost pass
ed out of tho comparatively still
water In the eddy into the tho swill
current of tho mid-stream.
Then followed a unique exhibition
of a new method of herding cattle
l'he cows wero turned and headed
'owmds thu Oregon shore, the pilot
if the motor boat constantly jock
eying to keep tho animals from scat
tering and again- heading for tho
.state of Washington.
A contest, of will came when the
animals n en red thu shore. They wore
determined to swim beneath tho
Umatilla house, which stands on
concrete foundations at this poin1,
with tho water flowing beneath tlr;
building. Willi the. aid of a piec
ot driftwood, picked from the river
md used as a club, the Irate nauti
li cowboy came out victorious,
however, driving the animals, al
most exhausted from their long
swim, out of the water at the ferry
landing.
Completely 'cowed," t lit dripping
bovines offered no further resistance
find were driven down First street,
presumably to the slaughter bouse.
