The mayor sent word that his office
hours were entirely given up to city
affairs and he could not see Mrs. Green.
"The richest woman in America" was

furnish 10000 extra men every year
to the Kansas farmers. Mr.. Blaine
began three years ago by advertising
in the newspapers for harvest hands
to go to his home community, Pratt
county, and assist him and his neigh
bors in caring for surplus grain. Thou
sands of idle men in the cities read
the advertisement and hurried out.
This season Blaine secured even
more detailed reports Of the needs Of
the farmers as early as April, getting
the names of the farmers and number
of hands they wanted in every town.
ship. He also secured report on the
condition of wheat at that time.
By keeping O close watch on the
weather reports he knew early in June
about how many men would be need
ed. He then sent out circulars to tho
various employment agencies in the
United States stating that 10000 men,
1000 women and 5000 teams could be
used in the wheatfields for thirty days
or more. Most of these laborers follow
the wheat harvesting to the north, thus
getting from sixty to ninety days Of re-
munerative employment. The wages
range from $1.50 to $3.50 for a day of
eight hours, with double pay for extra
time.
The immediate cutting of a wheat.
field etter it once begins to ripen is
necessary II It is to be saved. This Is
why go many thousands of extra men
are needed.
A farmer with four good horses, his
gang plow and drill will plant from
200 to 300 acres of grain in the fall,
but to handle this grain when ripened
requires ten horses ana seven men, or
six more men than are usually found
with the average farmer. Naturally
these men and teams have to be i'm
ported, as well us women to prepare
the food for the workers.
The work to be done in a harvest
field Is extremely tiresome and soon

BILE carrying heavy bundles tells on

1t ali depends, however, upon the
previous field experience. and this is
why so many Kansas farm girls can
do more work with u binder than n
strong, healthy man from the city.
Two types of machines are ordi-
narily used in the harvesting of wheat,
the binder and the header. The self
binder is usually drawn by three or
four horses. 1t cuts the straw close to
the ground, ties it with twine and
casts it on the ground ready for the
thrasher.
The header is pushed by four horses
at the extreme rear of the machine.
The straw is cut by this machine close
to the head, and the head Of grain is
thrown from the knives into the header
box. When the box is full, it is car
ried to the dumping place to await
the thrasher.
