Federal Employment Service
Men Make Plans Here.
Meeting Held at Offices in To-
Aeka at 112 E. Fifth st.
GET DATA FROM FARMERS
Help VIII Be Sent Where Need
Is Greatest.
Recent Rains May Make Wheat
Late in Ripening.

Detailed plans for handling the
huge army of men that will be needed
TO harvest the greatest wheat crop
Kansas has ever produced, were ar
ranged this morning at a meeting OF
the local examiners from every fed
eral employment service office in the
state in the office at H. East Fifth
street. Thru the medium OF extern
sive publicity the men looking for
work will be attracted to the various
employment bureaus over the state,
where they will be distributed among
the various counties according to the
demand.
During the last few years one of
the greatest problems of the harvest
has been that Of getting the men
properly distributed In some Iocan-
ties there have been too many men
and in other sections the wheat has
been lost for want of men to harvest
IL. Men starting into the harvest
fields knew not where they were GO
ing or where they were most needed.
with the result that many of them be-
came disguised with the proposition.
Data on Farmer Needs.
The present plan Of the federal en-
ployment service eliminates all this
trouble. The examiners have data
from every section of the state show
ing just how many men are needed.
how long the work Will l3st and what
harvest is over in One part Of the
state, the men will be Immediately
sent on 10 the next section and when
the crop in this state is harvested the
northern states will be needing men.
That section Of the state where out
side help viii be needed embra ces
fnty-one counties thru the center of
the state from north to south. The
extreme eastern and extreme western
counties. il is estimated, will have
enough help of their own to harvest
their crops. The number OF outside
hands needed in Kansas is about
so. 900, il is said.
The harvest is expected to begin in
Kansas somewhere between June Is
and 20. Wages have been agreed upon
by practically all wheat growers at so
cents IN hour for shockers and so
cents for staekers. Transportation is
not furnished. nor will the railroads
give reduced fare, hence the unusually
high wage.
Rains May PeIay Harvest.
It is possible That the recenr-wet
weather NAV retard the cutting some

what in which case distribution OF
harvest hands viii be an unusually
hard task, as within a week after the
first cutting starts every county in the
district Will be clamoring for hep.
The first cutting will start in sumner
and Harper counties and extend into
the central part of the state, the de-
mand for harvest hands7ncreasing as
the harvesting district broadens.
Some communities favor high school
boys and young men from colleges and
offer them every opportunity to
harden up 10 the work, while others
demand only experienced men. 1t was
said. Engineers, cooks and men OF
other trades Will re in demand The
employment bureau has prepared an
immense quantity of literature ex-
planning the details of the wheat grow
ers' needs for distribution thrueut the
country.
A I. Barker stated this morning that
within the past three or four weeks
more than 1000 letters from men all
over the United States inquiring about
Jobs in the Kansas harvest fields had
been received at the Kansas City Of
flee. Large numbers of letters from
college men had also been received.
he said Applications from men liv-
ing in distant parts of the country far
exceed expectations, it was stated.
Record Acreage Crop.
Kansas has planted oue-fOurth OF
the total wheat acreage of the United
States and therefore will need more
outside men than any other state.
Missouri has planted about 2.343,0OO
acres but on account of the farms be-
ing small il is estimated that all the
help needed can be obtained locally.
Nebraska will have 100000 acres of
wheat to cut and a large acreage Of
hay in the northern counties. South
Dakota always has a large acreage of
wheat and other small grains and
there is always a big demand for Ia
Dor.
The men then proceeded into North
Dakota, which this year has a large
wheat acreage and consequent demand
for harvest hands Several thousand
men will be needed in Oklahoma
which has planted 3,295,40S acres.
The harvest has already begun in
Texas. where most of the needed help
is obtained locally.
The meeting this morning was pre-
sided over by J. VIII Kelly. federal di-
rector for Kansas and was attended
by the following examiners: H. 3.

GRAND PARADE WINS
Takes English Derby. Revived After 4
Years of War.

London. June Grand Parade
won the historic derby, English turf
cls ssic, today. Buchan was second.
Thirteen horses started
Grand Parade is owned by Lord
Glauelly. Panther, the favorite, fin
ished eighth.
Grand Parade is a son-of Orby. the
horse which won the derby for Rich
ard Croker in 1907. The betting
against Grand Parade in the ante-post
wagering was SO to 1. but as the time
for the race approached he was taken
up by many betters who reaped a
good harvest.
The book makers are the greatest
gamers by the result as the public's
money was largely on the Panther
who is also the son of a celebrated
American owned horse, August Bel
mont's Ira Gerry, winner of the Eclipse
stakes in 1918, and the St Leger, tbs
