Most of the farmers here have their help by the year, and those who have not are able to get needed help in the rush seasons, There will be a number of men go west during the next few weeks, and in, perhaps, a few individual cases, there may be a momentary loss to individual farmers, but there is nothing ap- proaching an acute labor shortage, Farm labor wages have remained steady here for a number of years Those farmers who keep help by the year are paying about $35 a month, Those who use help only during the summer or at rush times pay from $45 to $50 a month to fully competent help, ranging down to $30 or even low- er for less competent help, The grain will not be an average crop, Some fields look good and may thresh good, others neither look average nor will they yield any- where up to avevage, Fall wheat will not be up to average, the best yield so far reported being 24 bushelsy alsike seed is only running two to four bushels to the acre, peas 10 to 15 a busshel.
