The farmers about Augusta are
meeting with very little success in
finding men to help them in cutting
their hay, this season, and many of
them say they never saw it so hard
to get help for the haying season as IT
is at the present time. One reason for
this situation is that men, who ar 2
not really Obliged to work in the hay
fields refuse such employment on ac-
count of the intense hot weather. The
demand for men, on the other hand. Is
increased because the hay is ripening
SO fast on account of the hot weather
that it will spoil if now left in the
fields very long without cutting.
