VAILING IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 16-In the
opinion of those in charge of the local
bureau of the United States employ
ment service, wages for the laborers
in the harvest fields of South Dakota
will be as high this year as last.
Fifty cents an hour, with lodging
and meals, appears to be the wage
which the farm hands will demand.
Last year this scale of wages was
set by the state council of defense.
and generally paid by the farmers of
South Dakota, but in some localities
the price climbed higher on account
of competitive bidding.
