CORN HUSKERS ARE
FLOCkINC TO FIELDS
Clay County, South Dakota,
Farmers Reported to Be
Getting Plenty of Help.

Nermilion, S. d., Oct. 16.-Corn hus-
kers from all surrounding sections are
flocking into this territory by the hun
dreds in order to take advantage OF the
excellent corn crop and the high wages
offered for husking. Clas county mas
the best corn crop it has had for years
and men who have Travelled all over
the corn belt state that the corn in this
section ls the very best.
Recent action taken by the councils
OF defense in neighboring states and
counties is causing men to leave those
sections on account of the higher wages
offered in this section Of South Dakota.
II is stated that the State Council Of
Defense OF Illinois has recommended
price Of 6 and 7 cents and those OF
Iowa and Nebraska I and cents. Re-
Gently the council of defense Of Lin
coin and Minnehaha counties OF South
Dakota took action setting the maxi
mum price at and 8 cents. The far
mers OF Clay county, through the labor
committee of their farm bureau, took
action on the corn husking price early
In September and showed a liberal
spirit of offering 8 cents when an ele-
Vator was furnished and / cent more
for scooping. At that time 1t was
thought such a price would be fair to
both the farmer and the husker and
1T is producing the desired results.
Members of the Clay county council
of defense state that they have no in
tention of interfering with the price as
agreed upon by the farmers.
