Nebraska VIII Invite Eastern College Men
to Help Gather the Crop.

LINCOLN. Neb., June 2s.-Students of
Eastern colleges and universities are going
to receive invitations to come to Nebraska
and help the farmers harvest their crops
this summer. The State Labor Bureau
has decided to call the students attention
to the cheap railroad fares to the West and
to the wages being pnid for harvest hands,
and hope in this manner to secure hundreds
of young men for this work,
The harvest help is one Of the greatest
questions Of the West and annually thou
sands of dollars worth of grain goes to
waste because Of lack OF hands. Begin
ming in southern Kansas in early June,
the harvesters work north as the grain be-
comes ripe, and September finds them har-
vesting in North Dakota, thus giving the
men three months steady. work at good
wages This year farmers are paying
from 81 to q day. Even boys earn good
wages in the fields.
