SCHOOL CENSUS
BRINGS SURPRISE
Steady Increase In Children In
County Over That of City,
According To Figures

The work of taking the school cen
sus of the county, done every two
years, has been completed for the
period to cover the years 1920-21, anC
reports received by County Superin-
tendent Edwards, with the result that
he is surprised, in the fact that there
is an increase in the school popula-
ton, representing those between the
ages of and Is, and significant fact
that perhaps partially explains such
slight increase in the city pOpula-
tion during the past ten years.
According to the reports compiled,
there are $3.50 white and 965 colored,
making a total of 6,024 of school age
in Madison county. The checks for the
trustees of the various townships for
the work of taking the census are be-
ing made out and will be mailed the
last of the week.
"Never have the prospects for the
Madison county schools been brighter
than at present." commented County
Superintendent Edwards, in speaking
of the present conditions. The new
law compelling all to attend school
and the installation of a supervisor
and truant officer are phases of the
new government of county schools
that bid faid to increase the attend
ance at the various schools to Il great
degree. The paset year has been un-
usual, it is claimed, regarding the
progress made at the county schools,
and the extensive improvements indi-
cate the acquiescence of the members
of the board in assisting the faculty
to the fullest extent. Instead of NOV
ing to town." one well known cduca-
tor said, upon being informed of the
situation, "there seems to be a gencr-
al desire upon the part of parents
having number of children to so to
the country, where they believe they
can prosper, and most of them are
surely doing this"

Sioux Falls, s. d., July %
With the beginning Of the wheat
harvest in the Dakotas only a
short time ahead and with all
prospects for an excellent crop,
farmers are beginning to get in
line on their required amount of
help for the busy season.
Federal labor offices. working
i'll conjunction with state andCoun
ty bureaus, have been established
at Sioux Falls, Mitchell, Huron,
Rapid City, and other vantage

distribution of the flock of men

north and who are beginning al
ready to seek places i'll the fields
of this state, Similar offices will
be opened in the northern tier of
counties of South Dakota. and
throughout North Dakota as the
season progresses and the har-
veSters move nOrthWard.
Crops both east and west of the
Missouri river in South Dakota,
are reported as being of a fine
stand and heavy yields are practi-
cally assured. Only in local spots
where hail or unusually heavy
precipitation has damaged or re-
tarded growth will the yield fall
short of that of a bumper crop
according to reports from the
states richest grain sections.
The oats harvest in the south
ern half of this state begins next
week and wheat will be ready for
shocking about two weeks later
From then on the army of reap
, ers will gradually work north TN
til the Canadian border is reached
and undoubtedly many Of then

'EMISSSARIES HERE
FOR HARVEST HANDS
Thousands of Young Men Ex.
pected To Go West After the
Local Harvest

Emissaries from the west are
Invading the local harvest fields,
working among the younger ele-
ment of men with the view Of
doubling the usual number going
to the western fields little later
on when the wheat harvest is on
in the great northwest, the Da-
kotas especially. 1t is the known
intention to recruit as many men
as possible to assist with the har-
vest there and it is very probable
that several thousand from Ken
lucky will spend the late summer
and early fail there, garnering the
grain and also gathering in a
good wage scale before the snow
flies.
The work is being done quietly
and Systematically. The worth
of the Kentucky farm hand is
known, according to one man who
admitted it being his intention to
stay here and work until the close
of the harvest season, then go
west, and take as many men as he
could possibly procure. Giving
his name as Frank Coleman, and
stating he was from Topeka, Kan.
he admitted he was not here for
the money he was making in the
fields, but this was added to a sal
arv paid him by an employment
office which sent him "east," !" as he
termed Kentucky. "This is the
only effective way" he said, in
explaining the situation. He ad-
mitted he made good wages in the
fields here, aside from his salary
He said most of the men would
be sent to the Dakotas, where
there was the greatest need Of
men. Mr.. Coleman said men could
leave this section, follow the har-
vest season west, and work stead
lily at good wages until cold
weather. extending their opera
tions into Canada. and bring home
several hundred dollars.
Board and room are provided ia
most cases. and the wages are
clear. He said the exodus Of men
after the Kentucky harvest would
benefit the workers and not inter
fere with operations here, but adj
nit of the men having plenty of
extra money when they returned
before winter, should they desire.
When asked relative to the
threatened interruption of the I.
w. w, Mr.. Coleman said the gov
ernment chad hold of that thing" !"
and the men coming to the west
to work, would not only receive
higher wages during their stay,
but would be given special con-
sideration He furthermore said
Kentucky was looked upon for
many men. as well as Indiana and
Illinois. and that the loan of
thse workmen would only be tenn
pOrary and would benefit all.
Mr.. Coleman asserted that the
best brand of workmen came
from this state, and there were
many who have signified their in
tention of making a short stav in
the west already, and all would be
cared for.
