When a bumper crop of corn and

from Oklahoma, North and South

"Give US help vas the cry, "or

Secretary Of Labor Wilson studied
the matter carefully and he went to
see Postmaster General Burleson.

or on the brake beams Of convenient
freight or passenger cars.
The class Of men who answer the
call at harvest time includes workmen
from the lumber CAMPS, factory men
seeking a bit of outdoor work with
good wages, college boys and farm
hands from adjoining states.
Farmers in automobiles, wagons and
buggies wait for the men at the sta
tons, and cook shacks are ready in the
fields to serve meals.
The men are, for the most part, unfa-
miliar with harvest work, but they are
| given the routine hand labor. while ex-
perienced men handle the binders and
headers. In addition to the imported
labor, all available local help is busy,
and the towns are for the time desert
ed Of ablebedied laborers.
On the Field Of Battle.
To witness the harvesting of these
great American products is certainly
most interesting and entertaining. I'm
agine 10000 ripening acres OF wheat
in one of the western states Of the
union. What a grand spectacle.
With the dawn an army Of men and
a regular artillery corps Of binders
come down a road which winds
through these extensive fields and
which n cannot see for the ocean Of
wheat. First come the binders. Then
there are half a dozen wagons loaded
down with hands," gathered from
every part Of America by promise Of
high harvest wages. They work early
and late.
The leading machine makes its turn
into the field. The driver and his
helper do something with the machin-
cry. The sickle buzZes and the great
II arms which sweep the grain
into sheaves for binding begin to whirl.
Behind it rs it runs lies a long swnth
of brown stubble from which field
mice and quail are scurrying. The ma
sheaves. Behind walk the harvesters,
setting up the sheaves in shocks. each
with its cap or watershed against the
rains.
At the Close Of Day.
Another binder has fallen in and Is
following. and then comes another and
yet another until six are travelling
forward in a Zigzag line toward the
horizon. Behind them the men move
like skirmiShers. 1t will be hours be

by which to work. When they quit al
last the mice and gophers and all other

in the wreckage of their home. and
there is a brown patch in the sea OF

@rINE hundred million bushels of
wheat, almost half Of the
worlds average wheat pro-
duction and a new record for
the United States, are the prospective
total yield Of the farms Of the coun-
try this year, the department of agri-
culture announces.
The enormous crop will be 137,OOO.-
600 bushels more than was ever grown
year. Excellent weather for the grow
ing crop and an increase Of Ga per
cent In the acreage planted to wheat
are responsible.
There also will be large yields of
oats and barley, probably second in
size in the history Of the nation.
To harvest this great crop Is the
problem Of the country at large. When
the first signs Of a prosperous yield
appeared the call for labor became
the question Of the moment, and every
means at the command of employment
agencies and Of Secretary Of Labor
Wilson were concentrated on furnish
ing men to harvest the biggest crop in
Our history.
On most of the great farms the
wages range from 81 to 50 a day for
unskilled labor and higher prices for
engine drivers and expert workers.
The first great call and the most in
sistent was from Kansas, where 10000
harvesters were needed, according to
the report of the labor bureau. Allow.
ing for Implications, this was cut to
$4,000, with $500 extra teams and 1900
cooks. Just why there should be this
need is not understood until one trav-
els over the wheat counties.
Enormous Territory. Few People.
The average county in the wheat Sec
ton has a small population. The farms
are large, the towns small. Take
Pawnee county, in southwest Kan
sas, for instance. 1t has a population
of $500 or 100 families. There are
275,OOO acres of wheat to cut and
thrash. If every available man in the
county could be put at the job the
work would not be done within the
short period during which wheat must
be handled. Once ripe, the heads shell
freely, and the grain must be garnered.
As the present crop approached its
splendid promise, with what amounts
to two crops in one. the farmers began
to call for help. This has been devel.
oped into a system. With a state labor
bureau In correspondence with county
officers, city clerks, farmers and town.
ship officers, the needs are tabulated.
Even the fraternal orders have taken
a hand, and now eastern states appeal
to f~raternities to send men west. Hun.
dreds Of college boys have been enlist.
ed and come to the harvest fields for
the experience and to earn vacation
money.
When a single county, as happens of.
ten, needs 5000 to 1900 men it is pol.
Icy for the railroads t. get the men
there and save the crop. Thousands
of dollars each year are sent east to
pay the transportation Of workers. the
agents Of the western roads holding
the funds contributed by farmers and
wiring orders to furnish tickets. To
pay this army means a large drain OH

banks.
