Labor Shortage in Kansas;
SIS a Day to Harvest Hands
BY DICK SMITH,
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 23.-On
the whole the business outlook
Throughout the tenth federal reserve
district is clearing, although mixed
developments have marked the sit
uation in the last few days. I'm
proved crop conditions with advanc-
ing wheat prices, have been an en-
couraging factor, but recessions in
prices for live stock and oil have
offset this to some extent.
1t is indicated that the report of
the Kansas board Of agriculture to-
morrow, estimating the Kansas yield
after threshing returns are received.
will place the figure above 115.000,0 900
bushels. Other estimates range from
100000 to 140.000,000 bushels.
Weather conditions. which matured
practically the whole crop OF the
state at the same time. have caused
a shortage of labor and an increase
of wages to Sc a day for harvest
hands.
The Oklahoma corporation COM
mission. which has suspended drill
ing in the Hewett oil field. will ex-
tend the order to other fields If the
overproduction Of oil continues. Re-
tail merchants continue to complain
of trade. and this is reflected in the
business of wholesalers and manu-
facturers. Gov. Hyde has asked the
special session of the Missouri legis-
lature to pass an anti-rent-profiteer
ing law.
