HOW MUCH F09 cNRuHl'SKERs
Kansas State Farm Bureau Asks This
Question in Kansas.

Manhattan. Kan, Oct. s.-what
price shall Kansas farmers pay for
cornhuskers this fall? Charles r.
Weeks, secretary of the Kansas State
Farm bureau, is sending out a letter
to all county agents and all county
farm bureau officers in the state. ask
ing if it is desirable to fix a standard
wage and recommend that all farm
ers stick to it, as they did to the
standard wage set for harvest hands
the past summer He is also asking
those to whom the questionable is
sent, what they consider a fair wage.
The Iowa Farm Bureau fedora tion
has recommended a standard wage for
huskers in that state. The price set
is cents a bushel, where the farmer
furnishes an elevator fer unloading
the corn, and cents where it must
be shoveled. H. d. Lutte, secretary OF
the Nebraska Farm Bureau federation,
is also sending a letter to each county
in his state to learn whether the FARM
ers there wish to take similar action
In a letter to Mr.. weeks. Mr. Lutte
stated that he believed. in order to
get the men. it~@ould be necessary in
Nebraska to pay a higher wage than
that recommended in Iowa.

The best time to begin the care
