' need not be out of work If he Is will ing to work at prices ranging from 12.21, to 82.75 per day. If he desires to go to Alaska he can readily obtain 81 a day more than the figures quoted. The wages named are for common laborers. Skilled help, such as bridge men, splkers, carpenters, etc., can command a much higher scale of wages. In the employment agencies the fee for these positions has been reduced to 60 cents and If a man has not the money It will not coat him one cent to secure work. Furthermore, he will be given free transportation to the scene of his labors and will be furnlnhed with good board at reason able rates. Such is the condition of the labor market In Portland today, according to statements given out by employ ment agents and railroad contractors. Millmen and .timber-men are also complaining of a scarcity of help and the wages offered to men are far higher than they have been In recent years. SELECT OOI SEED. Government Has Just Completed Val uable Experiments. J. W. T. Duvel, of the federal bu reau of plant Industry, who has con cluded a series of exhaustive investi gations Into the seed corn problem, announces these conclusion, says the Livestock World: Approximately 15.000.000 bushels of corn are required for seed every year In the United States. The yield depends largely on the vitality of the seed planted. Make your own germinating box and test the vitality of every ear of corn before plantli g. The time required for Individual ear tests Is very Utile; 12 or 1.1 ears will furnish enough weed to plant one acre. Count the sprouts very carefully: any car falling to show 100 per cent of good sprouts should be rejected. Of 3322 ears tested. 1906, or more than one-half were unfit for seed These samples were taken from ears picked for seed by good, careful far mers, and arc evidently much above the average. Field tests have shown thnt seed of strong vitality will produce the larg est yield of corn. ' Granting that the samples tested are representative of the present sup ply of seed corn, the testing of every ear and the subsequent rejection of poor ears will Increase the stand 13.7 per cent. An Increased stand of 13.7 per cent would mean an Increased annual yield of 20K.14O,6!r bushels, with n value of $100,739, 912. 91, calculated on the average yield and price for the last 10 years. Just think of it! Had these pre cautions been taken the American corn grower would have been annual ly In receipt of 100 million dollars more money thnt he Is at present pocketing. Isn't the seed question worth considering? i Will Give Church Shower. Toe Ladies' Aid of the Congrega tional church will give a shower nt the home of Mrs. Will Ingram on Thursday everting. May 17.
