FARM HANDS GET S45
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
That's In South Dakota, Where Bump.
err Crops Are Predicted.

Sioux Falls, s. D.-Because of
shortage of farm hands it has become
necessary in many parts Of South Da-
kota for the women and boys of the
households and even the girls to work
In the fields. So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting In what Is believed to be the
greatest acreage Of spring wheat in the
history of the state.
With the prospect that prices for
foodstuffs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in.
crease their crop acreage. With ia
vorable season South Dakota will pro.
duce this year the greatest crop Of
foodstuffs in its history. The residents
of towns are preparing to have larger
vegetable gardens than ever before. so
there is every indication that the state
will make new record in crop pro.
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from $35 to $45 month and board
and in many instances the farmers pay
these prices. Only few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
Sl2 to $50 a month and board. and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied OF their fellows.

go to the chapel exercises In the
prison, twice every Sunday; but
he had to sit in one corner of
the room all by himself. A few
weeks ago he was given a cell in

SPARKS FROM IGNATIUS

One Of the highest salaried
clergymen in America has re-
signed his position to engage in
social work at about half of his
former salary. Many people
think a pastors call comes from
the congregation from which he
receives the highest financial in
come. The average salary for a
minister In this country is $7O0
per yeare-less than what the
average mechanic receives. The
minister spends. eleven years
from the time he graduated from
the common school~~-in high
school. college, and seminary.
This preparation costs some
money often thousands of dol.
lars. As a rule this is borrowed
money for the use oflwhich he
has to pay interest. Practically
no rich mems sons enter the
ministry. Some folks think,
when a minister wants more
than enough to clothe andhfeed
himself and family. that he II
false TO his calling. Many a rich
farmer who gives Ave dollars q
year toward the support of his
church, thinks then that he has
done his duty and that the LORD
will provide for His own. 1.-THE

HATCH CHICKENS NOW
PouItryman Makes His Greatest
Profit, From Birds Hatched
Before the First Of May.

liAS p"AA1a isi"iA 't'.A~c
greatest profit from the chickens
which are hatched before May /.
The early Matched cockerels are
sold as broilers when the broiler
market is at it's best. The flood
of late Matched broilers brings
prices down and congests the
market. The greater returns re-
ceived from early Matched broiE
ers go far toward defraying the
cost of raising the pullets. These
puIlets in turn begin laying when
eggs are bringing the highest
prices and when there is the
greatest shortage of strictly
fresh eggs. ~ -" ,.''.
Still more important, early
Matched chickens grow more rap
idly than those Matched late in
the season and are much less
likely to become sick. The late
Matched chickens always are the
first to catch cold and spread
disease throughout the flock.
Chickens Matched late in the
year will not mature before cold
weather and usually will not lay
until we'll into the winter, or
even toward spring. This means
that they will have to be fed and
carried over for several months
at a constant expense, with no
return. and this at a time when
feed is at it's highest.
The early Matched pullets can
be developed to a large extent on
range, and a saving in grain feed
is possible in this way.
The highest producing pullets
are those which begin laying
early. TO get into the 200-egg
class a pullet must lay 60 or
more eggs before March 1. In
order to do this, pullets must be
Matched before May I, so that
they will begin laying by the 1st
Of November. In the section of
the country north of the Ohio
River it is advisable to begin
Matching not later than March
and to continue Matching at in
tervals through March and April
so that pullets of different ages
will be coming on, and the hroil,
ers will not all be ready for mar
ket at the same time.
The American breeds (Ply,
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, etc.) should be
Matched earlier than the Medi.
terranean breeds. such as the
Leghorns, Minorcas, etc, because
they take about one month long
er to mature. Pullets of the
American breed will begin lay
ing at about 7 months of age
and those Of the Mediterranean
breeds at about 6 months.
1t is often difficult to get
enough broody hens to set the
eggs early. This may be partly
overcome by setting the earliest
eggs in an incubator and putting
those eggs under hens few day.
before they are ready to hatch
| A hen usually can brood from
one and one-half to two time,
as many chickens as she viii
