TO HELP
GARNER THE CROPS
Canada Finds This Step Is
Necessary.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 81
Thirtythousand men are needed to
harvest the grain crop of the Canadian
Northwest. and it will be impossible
to get anywhere near this number, &C
cording to the Manitoban Government
The Government therefore has recon-
mended that the jails and prisons of
the province be opened and that all
prisoners serving time for minor Of
lenses be released on condition that
they hire out to help garner the crop.
This recommendation probably will be
acted upon and the men will be freed
some time next week, as fast as
places Of labor are assigned to them.
The prisoners are said to take the
order very kindly, as it will give them
an opportunity to earn 81 and So a
day for several weeks instead of
spending the time behind the
bars. 1t has been estimated that the
grain crop of the Canadian North
west will reach 100,000,000 bushels
