This year North Dakota will prob
ably harvest the largest crop in its
history. Thousands OF acres of new
land have been broken up and sea-
son on the whole favorable to seeding
has given US more than ordinary
acreage on the old lands. Copious
rains and first class weather condi-
lions have followed thruout the state,
with the result that there Is now as
sured very heavy crop of straw,
and with good filling weather during
the next twenty days there will be
harvested an unusually heavy crop of
grain.
Whether or not the straw hlls
properly, it is there to be handled.
It will require more labor than ever
before to take care Of the North Da-
kota crop this year. A visit to the
leading employment agencies Of the
state, and inquiries made there about
the movements Of the men who usual
ly help handle the western wheat
crop brings out the fact that a large
part Of the floating labor upon which
the Dakota farmer depends Is en-
ployed in construction work by the
railways of the west. Another large
contingent of this force has gone to
see the exposition at Seattle. The
number of men IN sight and available
for the wheat fields will not be
greater this year than in former
years. .E
This means labor shortage this
season along the branch lines, unless
the farmers can secure help early,
