will Not Pay 10 Cents.

There is considerable talk among far
mers that If the county threshers charge
10 cents for threshing this year, good
many with wheat will hire outside
threshers who have offered to come in
and thresh for less. There is plenty Of
labor seeking work and threshers can get
mon cheap.
As many men as possible ought to he
gwen work, instead of threshers paying
higher prices to few and taking it out
of the price per bushel. The farmers will
not stand 10 cents q bushel for wheat
this year, for they are in a position to
make better terms, and terms more fair
to all parties, besides giving more men
the benefit of the work.
