LABOR SHORTAGE
BRINGS SERIOUS
FOOD PROBLEM

New York, Sept. 10-Shortage of
labor in the agricultural states is re-
su1ting in a reduction of acreage
which threatens Americas food sup
ply, according to the findings of Per-
ley f. Walker, dean of the Kansas
University engineering school, made
public today at national headquarters
of the American Society of National
Engineers. The Dean is head of a
research committee of the Mid-Con-
tinent Section of that society.
Dean Walker found population at
g standsti1l or declining in agricus-
tural sections, pointing out that 16 of
the los counties in Kansas prevented
that state from decreasing in popula-
-, ir, a decade. the increases all be-
ing in industf'cl sections. 1.-THE same
thing holds good in I. .y;l lad doubt
less in other states for the same
period" the Dean reported.
Many farmers cannot pay their 1919
debts because the railroads are unable
to move their wheat harvest, and they
are pairing down production, he said.
AS a remedy, Dean Walker Sug-
gested study by engineers of the
economics of transportation and pro-
national fitting of enterprises to To-
ca1ties- This, he thought, would
work out better distribution of popu-
lation where needed and would pre-
vent continued inability of the trans
portation systems to meet the de-
mands upon them.

hard-riding straight-shooting out

respect when he entered five races
against these premier horsemen and

The ranchers are having a quiet
smile over an amusing but somewhat
embarrassing incident in which the
prince was involved With his usual
sshail fellow well met bearing, the
Prince on one occasion asked every

him.
After the drinks had been served
che heir to the richest throne in the

Touring with him, for funds but the
only reply was: CT haven't a shilling
