Because of the lack of help, it has
been necessary to prOlong the thresh-
ing season this year. The farmers
have found it necessary to assist one
another in the work because of the
shortage of dependable help, and con-
sequently are finding it difficult to
get the work done. 1t has been nee
essary for one machine to set up at
a single ranch as high as three times,
before the entire crop could be handl-
ed. Generally the wheat has been
threshed first, then the oats and other
grains, and last the clover and grass
seeds.
Many farmers, who have heretofore
depended upon great amount of
help in the harvest have this year
handled the whole crop practically
single handed. One man living south
east of town put up his own hay and
stacked his own grain, doing all the
hauling and stacking by himself. In
many instances the women folks have
gotten out in the field and worked
like men.
After all, we conclude that the Am
erican farmer, especially the farmer
of the Twin Falls tract, is not to be
cheated out of his rightful heritage
even by conditions so adverse as lack
of hands in a plentious harvest. This
has been a year when it has been
practically true that the harvest is
great but the laborers few.

Many Kimberly people are wonder
ing what they are going to do this
winter for a place to live. Not that
they are too poor to pay rent, but that
there is nothing to rent. The short
age of houses or even light housekeep-
ing rooms, promises to be a serious
matter for some. who have not yet
been able to locate a dwelling place
for cold weather. Several families
have talked of leaving town because
of this feature of limited room, and
in several instances it has been nee
essary for more than one family to
crowd into one house that was only
large enough for one. The hotels
and rooming places are full of steady
occupants.
AS a result of this there will prob
ably be more or less building going
on all winter. Several new homes are
under construction at the present
time, and plans are being entertained
for several more in the very near
future.

in real earnest. Sorne of the local
beet raisers have been hauling for the

have been very few beets in the prop
er condition for pullirg About Oc-
tober 1, however, it is thought by Mr..
Johnson that the beets will commence
to come in in large quantities. Mr..
Johnson predicts a big crop this year.

FEAR LOSS OF LATE FRUIT

Several fruit growers have reported
fear that many of the later varieties
of peaches, and even some of the
pears would not ripen this season, be-
cause of the present cold spell. A
frost at this time of the year would
seriously affect the later fruits, of the
more tender varieties. Great precau-
tons are being taken to protect the
tomato vines against a possible frost.
