Our people are complaining about
the high cost of shoes, yet when we
examine the testimony taken by the
committee on expenditures in the war
department we wonder that shoes are
not today infinitely more expensive.
AT the date of the armistice we had
$500. 900 men under arms while we
had more than 1OO,OOO.OOO people en-
gagged in civil life The testimony
taken by the committee shows that to
have filled the orders made by the
ordnance branch of the war depart
ment for leather goods for use in the
army would have required 100000
more hides than the sum total of all
the hides produced in the United
states. The testimony further shows
that the war department had for use
in the army S91. 900 horses and mules
and vet the records of the war de-
partment shows that the ordnance
branch of that department ordered
for use upon these horses and mules
e45. 900 saddles and over 100000 sets

SURPLUS Of
HARVEST HANDS
LABOR OFFICIALS FEAR THAT
TROUBLES MAY OCCUR IN
SOUTH DAKOTA,

Sioux City, July 26.-In a person
States Employment bureau at Sioux
Falls, received by Harry HorovitZ, as
sistant to George B. Albert, who is
in charge of the free government en-
ployment bureau in Sioux City, it is
stated that at the present time there
is a surplus of harvest hands in that
territory.
Owing to the lateness of the har-
vest, and the influx of harvest work
ers in numbers greater than can be
readily assimilated, there is some ap
prehension as to the probable situa-
ton at the end of another week or
10 days if the harvest work is not
open.
Official reports from Kansas City
and other points in the harvest route
between Texas and Sioux City an
nounce that an immense army of har-
vest workers is waiting the opening
of the harvest season in Iowa, South
Dakota, North Dakota and Minneso-
ta. In many districts there are re-
ports of too great a number of har-
vesters.
Crop experts announce that the
harvesting will be below the ordi-
nary this year in South Dakota with
the exception of the extreme north
ern part. The migration of harvest
hands, however, seems to be to the
central and southern portions of the
state. With the arrival of the van
guard of harvesters from the south
ern harvest fields and the migration
of harvesters from the northern
points. it is feared that the labor sit
uation will become serious.

Mitchell, S. D., where there would be
wheat production of from 20 to 35
bushels to the acre ii it were not for
the black rust visitation
On the Sioux City Grain Exchange
yesterday wire messages said the
wheat rust damage reports had failed
to have much effect upon the market.
The trade had refused to become
alarmed over the situation, it was
stated.
A telegram from LeCount, the eX-
pert inspecting northwest conditions,
announced that all wheat in the vi
cinity of Fargo, N. d., was infected
with black rust, but the damage was
slight at present. The expert wired
that he could not tell what the result
would be in the late wheat fields, but
he believed there would be consider
able loss.

RUST LOSS
IS SEVERE
SIOUX CITY GRAIN MAN MAKES
EXTENDED INVESTIGATION

Sioux City, July 26.-Devastation
its blithting yisitations that wheat
fields in the affected area of South
Dakota are being plowed over and
harvesting of the crop abandoned.
South of GayYille, S. d., and to the
west of Vermillion hundreds of acres
are being plowed under by tractors.
Indications are that this disease foe
OF the staff of life will prevail in epi-
demic form and eventually attack
practically all of the spring wheat in
South Dakota and North Dakota.
These statements were made by
President M. King, of the Western
Terminal Elevator company, who re-
turned from an inspection tour by
automobile over $50 miles of South
Dakota territory.
While individual losses will prove
onerous, the general damage by black
rust is modified by the fact that the
wheat acreage in South Dakota is so
per cent less than it was in 1919 and
that much more corn and oats, which
promise enormous yields, We're plant
ed, said Mr. King.
"The black rust almost invariably
first appears along the Missouri river
in South Dakota and then extends
horthward," said Mr.. King. Some
of the fields inspected there will
hardly be yield of bushel of wheat
to the acre. There will not be more
than third of a crop along the
Platte line wheat district of South
Dakota. This means that the farm
ers of that region will plant less
wheat next year
More oats and winter rye will be
sown. In Sioux City territory there
is an extensive acreage of rye this
year. In some sections of South Da-
kota it will yield 40 bushels to the
acre. With 10 or IL days more Of
cooler weather there will be harvest
ed one of the largest crops of corr
and oats of recent years. On accoun
of this prolific yield the wheat losses
will not seem so severe regardless o
their extent.
These grain losses mean less Il
j Sioux City territory and eonsiderabl.
more to the wheat territory north O

HEADS
COMPLETE PLAN
ARRANGE CREATION BOARD TO
- CONDUCT EXAMINATION OF
STUDENTS.

Huron, July 26.-Many prominent
educators were in the city to attend
a special meeting of all the college
presidents in the state which was held
at Huron college.
At the meeting it was proposed
that an entrance examination board
he created to direct the examination
of students from nOn-accredited high
schools entering institutions of high
er learning in the state, or entering
accredited high schools.
This board wirll consist of five
mem ers; one chosen by the state
normal schools, one by the other
higher state institutions. one by the
private institutions of collegiate
rank. these to be selected by presi-
dents of their respective groups of
institutions at the annual meeting of
the state educational institution
meeting; one high school principal,
chosen by the high school principals
association, and the high school in
spector.
This board will set a date. uni
form throughout the state, when ex-
aminations shall be written. The
board shall arrange for the questions,
send copies to all institutions of high
er learning in the state and to such
accredited high schools as ask for
them, and provide for the correction
of the high school manuscripts.
1t was also recommended that ac-
credited high schools examine stu
dents entering from non-accredited
high schools. The date of such eX-
| aminations in colleges and high
schols will be uniform.
This does not preclude accredited
high schools from requiring examina-
| tions in such other subjects as they
| deem best.
The standard of admission from
non-accredited high schools to collie
| giate classification in a higher educa
tional institution in South Dakota
| shall be credited as provided in the
| foregoing regulations, and will in
| clude total of Is high school units
| according to the state high schoo
manual.
