NEED 1000 HANDS
Kansas Will Give This Many
Harvesters Employment
REAL FARM HANDS WANTED
Tramps and Am~teurs In Farm Work
Not Dssired-se.OO "a Day VIII
He Paid to Good Men.

The Kansas wheat belt will probably
need about 20, 1000 outside men for this
years harvest. according to report
which thus far reached 7. b.. Gerow,
director Of the state free employment
bureau.
Director Gerow Is now gathering
data In detail as to the number OF men
who will be needed in each county and
locality, and the probable time that
the harvest will begin, but the data
are slow in coming in.
One Of our correspondents says he
has never before had such a hard time
In getting information from the farm
ers along this line said Mr.. Gerow
recently.
THE wages, taking the wheat belt
over, will probably average about two
dollars a day" continued Mr.. Gerow.
THE harvest will be late on recount
of the cool wet weather. 1t is possible
that the number Of outside men need
ed will not reach 10000. but | think
that will be about the figure.
THE farmers want real. farm hands
II it Is possible to get them. They
want men who know how to do farm
work and who can earn their money.
1t is not fair that they should have to
pay full wages to men who cannot do
a, l.,'. ,,.,t. ,.r ,,apn,Iich u,hat thny
are paid for. Tramps and that class
of men are not wanted either. Men
who are willing and capable will be
gladly received and good wages will be
paid them"
Mr.. Gerow does not anticipate as
strenuous a demand for harvest hands
as there was a year ago. In the first
place the wheat crop probably will not
be quite as large. In the second place,
last year to work in the wheat fields
still remain. In the third place, there
is not quite as great a demand for men
in other lines as there vas a year
aso right after the food. And in the
fourth place. the largest demand will
come from the wheat counties which
are more thickly populated and where
there Is a larger local supply OF labor
than in the more western counties.
At the same time it is no small task
to attempt to import twenty thousand
men into the wheat belt within the
short space OF two or three weeks. In
about a month the demand will be on
full force. and 1t is difficult O to
tell how many outside hands the farm.
ers will need. Some farmers do not
anticipate any trouble in caring fol
their crop until the need for help Is
right upon them. Sometimes the grain
ripens slowly M gives plenty Of time
for caring for it with few men. Agar
II will ripen rapidly and all at once
creating a big demand for hands ant
speedily exhausting the supply.

country. There yet remains Cor
man, Hearst, Clney, Bryan and a
few other favorite sons to form
some sort of a combination 10 beat
him. To amalgamate these differ
ent elements opposed to Parker
would be an impossibility. Olney
and German could not be induced
to support Hearst OF Bryan and the
same is true Of Bryan and Hearst as
regards Olney and German. Tax
ing this into consideration It now
looks as if Parker would be the nom
inee Of the democracy at the COM
ing convention, with w. J. Bryan
and his followers boiling the con-
vention. Parker will be strong
among the conservative democracy
and will no doubt give the republic
a run for their money in such
states as New York, New Jersey,
and C~onpecticut. II he
can win these states it will be up to
he republican party to carry Idaho,
Montana and Colorado in order to
win the election.
