Extra High Cost Of Labor.

WINCHESTER, VA, September ga
Farmers throughout the Shenandoah
and Cumberland Valleys began cutting
corn this week. but many find them
selves up against stir proposition,
because OF the shortage of labor FIX
perienced men are demanding from SO
to "a per day and are getting 1t. de-
spite the protests Of the farmers. The
crop, on tho whole. Is much larger
than has been looked for, and most of
the corn is of exceptionally fine quality.
The acreage planted last spring was
greatly In excess of any previous year.
Farmers are finding they must pay tho
prices demanded by experienced labor,
because 1t Is feared the fodder Will be
killed and ruined by frosts.
