The busy time is at hand tor the
Farmers. Haying season is here and
THE Berkeley county farmers have the
best and the largest crop of hay they
| have raisel for many years The
whe IT which will be ready in a few
days Tor hlrvesting is only fair crop
lIn some localities the wheat is good
while in Others it is light and will
likely make a poor yield. The corn
IS doing well put must be cultivated
|All this work and the farmers are
short in farm laborers. Hands are
scarce and wages are nigh, mot only
in the field but also in the house. The
Farmers wives and daughters have
troubles in this line as well as tbs
husband, fathers and brothers a Il
work hard day after day, 10 mos
eases probably not from choice bu
because help cannot be had
