LABOR SITUATION IN
KANSAS IS IMPROVED

Kansas City.-(A. P.)-The harves
labor situation in Kansas and tn,
southwest is generally good, accord.
ing to officials OF the federal free EN-.
ployment bureau in Kansas City
Kan, and the Missouri bureau Of
farm labor, conducted by state au.
therities with federal aid in Kansas
City, Mo.
At the opening of this month a sur
plus of farm labor was evident. There
were a number of instances of men
who came back from the harvest
feds declaring that they had been I'M
ablo to find employment. At the end
of the first week in July scattered
, requests were received for more har-
vest laborers to be sent to counties IN
nt rthwestern Kansas, need which is
being filed, according to the federal
employment agents. -is
| Generally speaking, the southwest
| has been supplied with all the harvest
labor necessary as soon as the wheat
crop was ready for cutting this sea-
son.
A wage standard of 70 cents an
hour, agreed upon by farmers in the
wheat belt Of Kansas and announced
through the state labor commissioner,
Samuel Crawford, attracted many
workers.
In regard to the car situation, op-
Grating officials of the leading roads
through the wheat sections agree that
there is at present an inadequate sup
ply of available cars. Plenty of cars
have been ordered west. it is stated.
but as yet they have not arrived in
sufficient numbers. However, an off,
cial of the local terminal company in
close touch with the interstate COM
merce commission declared that al
though the car supply is still some
what short, it is better than in other
sections of the country and better
than it has been here in past years.
Railroad officials were not inclined to
agree with this rather optimistic esti-
mate.
The 1920 wheat crop is beginning to
reach Hutchinson, Kan. 1t is said to
average better than for many years,
testing from 60 to 81 pounds to the
bushel and bringing $2.40 to $3.50 per
bNshel. Yields run from IL to 20 BUSH
els to the acre, farmers declare.
"Grasshopper- planted" wheat Is re-
ported to have turned out well in
many places. In their attacks on
wheat fields last fall grasshoppers cut
the heads off the wheat, causing them
to drop to the ground, which resulted |
in tracts of volunteer wheat. Near
Lyons a grower reported a 20-bushei-
