The school budget was calculated

It will be necessary to make some
advance in the wages of the teach

the Chickasha system because other
places are able to pay better wages.

That orders are coming in now

farmers are now lining up the help
they viii need in the coming wheat
harvest and are placing their or
ders with the employment office
where free service is given.
In the following statement, Mr..
Day urges that the farmers get in
touch with the Chickasha office, Or
with the special farm representative
in their respective district:
From present indications tho
wheat harvest this year vii! be
here two or three weeks earlier than
usual, a big yield is expected and
in all probability harvest hands will
be scarce In order to be on the
safe side, farmers should begin
making preparation for harvest now
Decide as early as possible how
much help you will need and give
your order to the United States en-
ployment service, 227 IL Chickasha
avenue, or to your nearest farm
representative.
ut is also time to begin thinking
about how much you are going to
pay for harvest hands this year.
Last year northern Oklahoma and
Kansas adopted the hour basis, pay
ing so much per hour for wheat
harvest and as a result the men
were satisfied, knowing it was no
use to run from one man to anoth- |
er or from one section to another, !
for everyone was paying the same I
price. 1t is believed that if this
plan is followed here this year it |
will be best for the farmer and all
concerned. A meeting of farmers
will be called later for the purpose
of establishing a price for harvest !

ing and talking among yourselves
