The resolutions drawn up at the farmers session, recommending a one-cent mile passenger rate for harvest hands, already has been talk en up by Governor Arthur Capper who has written a letter to Secretary McAdoo, requesting the special rate be lnaugurated. Such grant as this and furloughs to farmers in the ar- my also requested by the gcevnor, the farmers believe, would materially add to the harvest hand ranks.
 After holding conferences in all parts of the state with farmers, E. E. Frizzen, state farm labor commits sioner, says that the wage scale adop- ted by the farmers here is practical ly the same as that agreed upon in other parts of the state. The scale adopted gives promises of a daily wage for willing workers of from S4 to .-..6 day, the rate for first class hands being forty-five cents an hour, While the standard day in the har- vest field is to be ten hours, it is generally conceded that the men will be urged to put in as much overtime as they are physically able to do, but no premium is to be paid on overtime.
 For the first time harvesting speed will be given impetus by the more daylight plan, it permitting two or three hours work after the supper hour.
 MT. Frizzell denies emphatically that any "cold water' had been thrown on the formerly announced plan to get business men into the harvest fields. He says in nearly ev- cry town in the state some sort of a campaign has been put on to enlist the city men, "rich and poor, fat and lean. old and young" In fact the resolutions drawn up by the farmers here laid stress on the necessity of the city population coming to the rescue and repeated the suggestion that all business houses that possibly can be suspended for a week or two. be closed and that the, men from the boss to janitor, go into the harvest field.
 The harvest wage scale adopted here is said to be practically the same as those which will be operative in Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebras- ka for the period of the harvest.

KANSAS LONG RANGE"
 WHEAT GUN IS READY
Will Fire 98,000,0O0 Bushels of Grain To Feed The Allies In Battle
 Against Kaiser

Salina, Kan, June 1.-Kansas has a Hong range gum, trained on the enemy and it is almost ready to "let eo." It will prove more effective than any avalanche of steel vet directed by the kaiser's hordes. It's calibre is 9S,OO0,000 bushels and the ammuni- tion is wheat. That every bushel rec ord its full strength. in helping win the war now is the aim of the aKn- sas farmers and the present indica- tions are that the realization of this depends now on the sole proposition of getting sufficient harvesters into the fields within the ensuing month.
 Pursuant to the resolution adopted by the recent gathering. of farmers here, the latest maneuver is to get contractors and their workmen. to grant a two-weeks cessation of build ing throughout the state to permit the workmen, thus employed ito enlist for that period in the vast harvesting army. Cities and towns are being re- quested to encourage this new phase of the wheat army drive.
