HAY CROP HEAVY
BUT LABOR scARc E
Harvesting Expense Is Eating Up Pro-
 fit of Seasons Work.

One of the heaviest hay crops that has been harvested in this section of the country is being put in by the farmers of this section. The rain fall of the past several weeks has helped wonderfully towards this heavy crop and if the weather will hold good for the next few days, the best of the crop will be under cover. While the crop is not higher than in former years when there was not so much, it is 9, great deal heavier un- deside and it is very common for one to travel the roads of the town and find the farmers moving with a ma chine and a man following the ma chine, throwing the grass away from that which Is standing, so that on the following trip of the machine, the knives of the cutter will not clog with the heavy grass. It is estimated that twice as much hay will be cut this year as last year and the hay is of a better quality.
 The only difficulty that bothers the farmers and having forces is the scarcity of labor. In many instances farmers are paying as high as $3 a day for men to cut their crops and not many can be hired at that price At this date only in the low and very damp lands is the hay still growing g. On the upland the hay has been fit to cut for quite a few days and if il is not cut soon will be a. loss to the farmer, unless he feeds it out or uses it at once for bedding for cattle and horses.

WHO SUPPLIED rHE NICKEL?
Canadian Government About to State Position in Regard to Sale of Metal.

Ottowa, Ont, July 19-The question as to who supplied the nickel which will be such a valuable part of the submarine Deutschland's cargo on her return to Germany became of added interest here today with the announce ment that an official statement would be issued within a few days on the whole policy Of the British and Ca nadian government in respect to the sale of the metal.
 Officials challenged the statement of George P. Graham, former minister of railways in the Laurier Cabinet, that niclSle sold to American firms on con- dition that it should not reach Eng lands enemies, can be secured with out difficulty in the open market in the United States. It is claimed that the United States produces 240, 900 tons of nickel annually and that all Canadian nickel exported to the Uni ted States has been accounted for by the International Nickel Company, the purchaser of virtually all of it.
 No change of policy1is foreshadowed
