GIRLS HARVESTING CROPS.
Many of Them Earn Good Wages In
Wheat Fields of Northwest

Many of Them Earn Good Waves In
Wheat Fields of Northwest.
The small grain harvest that was
recently being finished Throughout.
Southern and Central Nebraska sGp-
plies convincing proof that the women
OF the West are rapidly crowding the
men out of the fields of labor and are
candidates for positions in all of the
respectable avocations. When the Ne
brasks small grain harvest opened
there was a great shortage of male
help. Even SO day, with board. lodg-
ing and washing, did not attract the
city man. A large number of college
students went to the rescue of the
ripening grain, but the supply was far
less than the demand. Farmers be.
came desperate. The price of wheat
kept on soaring and they could not
afford to let the grain go back into
tae ground. Out in Beatrice one day
Henry Wilson, farmer living nine
miles south of town. needed four men
for gathering and shocking wheat He
offered idle park loungers 1926 day,
but they declined to so to work Stop
ping at a lunch counter before going
home Mr.. Wilson told of his troubles
to Miss Jeanette Allison, waitress.
Why don't you hire girls?" she
asked.
They would not go into the harvest
field and they would not do the work
If they could responded the farmer
Try them" ventured the girl
Give me the same wages as you
would man and l will go. Besides,
If do not do the work of a man
will not charge you cent"
Not only did Miss Allison ride home
with Farmer Wilson that night, but
four of her girl friends went along.
The next evening Farmer Wilson told
his wife that he had never had harvest
hands that did better work than the
five girls. The second day farmers
came from miles about, saw the girls
at work, and that night many of them
went to Beatrice and other neighbor-
ing towns, where they hired fifteen
young women to work In the grain
fields.
Word was passed down to Omaha
that young women could have employ
ment in the harvest fields of Gage
County. An employment agency pub
lished this adj
"Wanted-One hundred young won-
en- to work in the harvest fields.
Wages SO per day. Board and wash
ing"
The next day that employment agent
did business. He was swamped with
applicants, all young women, school
teachers, stenographers, college girls
and girls who bad been working in
factories at from Sc to 81 per week.
All they wanted was to be given a
trial. The farmers gave them the
trial, and they made good. They re-
manned with the farmers until the
harvest was finished, and many OF
them will continue during the stack
ing and haying, receiving from S1.75
to 81 per day and board.-Omaha

A merchant in a small town who saw
a farmer receive goods at a railroad
station from mail order house told
him he could have sold the same goods
for less money and saved the freight
besides. The farmer asked why he
didn't let people know Though he
had taken the home paper regularly
for years, he never saw line in It
that such goods were to be had. The
mail order house came after the trade
and got 1t. Merchants and manufac-
turers who fail to advertise what they
have should not expect to compete
with those who do. The very best
articles at the lowest prices will be
passed by when people are unaware Of
their existence. Probably if the mer-
chant had advertised and the farmer
had bought from him he wouldn't have
known that his advertisement had
brought the business, anyway, and so
wouldn't have given it credit. Pub
licity often reaches much further than
is outwardly perceptible.

Improving Crops.

This bit of wisdom is from the
Twentieth Century Farmer:
THE high price of corn and the
knowledge of how to make two ears
of corn grow where but one grew be-
fore is the kind of argument that is
Convincing with the American farmer.
This common sense theory is what has
set in motion the present great wave
of educational reform in agricultural
affairs. 1t explains the new life that
is to-day found in the county fair; it
explains why there are corn growers
associations of all degrees, from the
township association up to the State
and National associations. In short,
it bases the beginning of systematic
improvement all along the line of
cereals, grasses and farm crops"

Poor Economy.

A light team for farm work is poor
economy Farm work simply must be
dose in its proper season, and the
man who tries to do it with team
that is too light or too poor for its
purpose is badly handicapped. He
falls behind with his work, and does
it poorly or not at all His team is
overworSed and less efficient through
the season. These things wear upon
the man himself, and the damage done
to him is even greater than that to
his field or his horses. Put on plenty
Of horse power and both yourself and
your field will profit by it. and your
horses will last longer. Make your
arrangements to breed your horses so
they will be bullying with surplus

Draft Horses I'm Demand.

The claim has often been made that
the automobile and trolley are stead
lily displacing the horse, and that the
Introduction of motor vehicles would
SO reduce the price of horses as to
make them in a short time worthless.
This claim is not supported by facts,
and at the present time the horse is
even in greater demand and more val
liable than ever before. 1t is true
that the railroads have banished the
stage-coach and the prairie schooner,
and numerous mechanical devices on
the farm are doing the work once re-
quired of the horse, yet, in spite of
these inventions and substitutes for
horse power, the demand for heavy
draft horses is continually growing.
Statistics for the past twenty years
show that prices for horses have ad-
vanced from So to 40 per cent, and
that horses have been steadily increas-
ing in number.-Our Dumb Animals.

Do Farmers read Bulletins.

| have noticed one thing in partic-
ular while travelling in some of our
best agricultural States, and that is,
when | see number of well-dressed
farmers discussing beef and milk ra-
lions, feeding young animals for a
healthy development, nitrogen, POTASH
UNI and phosphorus and their func-
lions in plant growth and protein and
carbohydrates and their functions in
animal growth, l am invariably in a
prosperous and up-to-date community,
says the Agricultural Epitomist.
Now, the question is, Do the best
and most intelligent farmers read their
bulletins and keep in touch with their
station workers and read the agricul-
tural press, or does the reading OF
these bulletins and agricultural papers
make more intelligent farmers? 1t is
one or the other, considered from
either standpoint, for these bulletins
and agricultural papers are not read
by the poor and uneducated class of
farmers; neither do they circulate as
freely among the poorer farmers as
they do among the farmers in the bet
ter agricultural communities.

Warming to Farmers.

The attractions of the cities have
tended to augment the city and bust
ness life at the expense of the farm
life in the United States, and in con-
sequence there has been ignorance
and shiftlessness in the care of the
soil, depletion of the soils fertility.
and lessening yields. This opinion,
which sounded a note of warning of
the great need for an increased agri-
cultural population, was expressed by
NJ. V. Richards, land and industrial
agent of the Southern Railway, in his
address before the Farmers National
Congress in Raleigh. N. C. He also
praised the railroads for the part they
have taken in giving the United States
its present rank in the markets of the
world
Mr.. Richards asserted that he was
not one of those who feared that the
United States would fall behind as an
agricultural country. The day is far
off," he said, when we shall be I'M
able to produce, and at prices which
will enable US to compete in the mar
kets of the world, our share of the
grains. fruits and meats needed to
feed mankind

1t is estimated that the population
of this country has gained about II
per cent since the last census was
taken. In that time the value of farm
products has increased nearly so per

gain in population has been about 40
per cent. The value Of farm products
in those nineteen years has more than
trebled.

appear to realize what the rise in the
prices means 10 them and to the
wealth of the country The total value

REA DIES ON
MOUNTAIN TOP
Son of Hermit Of the BosQue'
SuccumbS to Typhoid Pneu-
monia at Ranch on Mama
nos Summit.

News reached this city yesterday OF
the death several days ago of Fred
Rea, aged 2S years. from typhoid
pneumonia at the Rea ranch on the
tip top of the Bosque peak at the
highest point of the Manzano noun
tains southeast of this city. Rea CON-
tracted the trouble about the middle
of October and was unable to rally.
We was a young nan who had many
friends in this city who will! be
grieved to learn of his death.
Rea was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Archibald Rea. The father has made
his home on the lonely mountain top
for many years and the boy spent
practically all his life there. coming
down to civilization only about twice
a year. A ycar and a half ago he
came down to Belen, riding on a bur-
ro, and was married to a young lady
there, the couple returning at once to
the mountain top. Archibald Rea
who has been known for years as "the
hermit of the Bosque.'' very rarely
gets nearer civilization than the little
town Of Tajique in the Manzanos and
rarely visits even that town. The
ranch occupies a unique M isolated
position on the summit of the peak
where there happens to be a plentiful
water supply. The peak commands
a view of a hundred miles of the Rio
Grande valley, the altitude being
nearly 1000 feet.
Young Rea is survived by his father
and mother. and a sister besides his
wife.
