FARMERS RESIST EFFORT
] TO RAISEgTHRESHING CHARGE

Huron, s.. Dr. Aug. 1.-Farnners in
sstthis vicinity are becoming considerably
|agitated over the fact that threshers,
according to reports, intend to raise
their prices This year Three and five,
bneaning 5 cents and 5 cents for oats
land wheat respectively, per bushel,
used TO be ther regular price for thresh-
ing. The farmers declare that four
and six Is high enough, and say they
are willing to pay that, hut they state
ternphatically that they will call a halt
at six and eight.
Some Of the more influential farmers
who have aiway depended N certain
.threshers to do their threshing de-
clare that they will pay no such price
as six for oats and. eight for wheat, and
Will put in rigSSof their before they
will be forced to accept the terms Of
the thresherss ssssss
It Is uncertain at the present time
Just what win come Of the matter. 1t
seams, hOwever,that the threshers have
some justificationsfor increasing prices,
since they cite the exceedingly high
pricessf for machinery and repairs. and
also the labor wages. II the con-
~troversy is not settled satisfactorilyasto
both the armers and threshers soon, It
is possiblesthat 1t will be referred to
the council of defense for action and
settlement.
