gerry suggests that a good time to
square up accounts will be just before

FIRE LOSS

City Engineer Bert Bonner has in
vestigated the Sank Centre water
system of late and the result of his
findings has caused him to issue a
warning to the citizens to take steps
to remedy conditions and relieve the
city of grave fire menace. In a COM
munication to the Herald, Mr.. Bonner
says:
Editor Herald Within the last
few weeks have been approached
by several people concerning the true
condition of our water mains.

years ana since Jne mains are not u

being installed To-Day we may expect
some weak places TO develop tron

There is a general fear, even
among the officials, That the mains
are not in as good condition as they
should be, In TACT the Engineering
Department was restrained from
turning on a full head OF pressure to
test the 1920 extensions Tor fear. of
bursting the old mains leading to
these points. Whether the mains
would stand 200 pound pressure we
can only conjecture.
"If the mains are on the verge of
bursting we should know it and REM
edy the matter at the earliest pos
sible moment for our own fire pro-
lection if nothing more. If, on the
other hand, they are still serviceable,
let us find it out and Danish the fear

Monthly Farm Pay $34
Recent Survey Indicates
Picking 80 Cent Corn Cost Farmer
4 to 5 Cents A Bushel
Federation Finds

st. Paul, Oct. 13-Average monthly
wages being paid farm laborers have
declined 16 per cent since the begin
ming of the 1921 harvest season, ac-
cording to figures compiled today by
the Minnesota Farm Bureau fedora
ton.
The federation's figures are based
on reports sent in by county farm
bureaus in the fifth statewide farm
labor survey conducted by the organ
ization this year.
The returns, showing wages being
paid in each county for various clas-
ses of work, indicate the following
average rates of pay for farm labor
in Minnesota:
General work-$34 a month, for
permanent help, and $1.98 a day.
Corn picking " to cents a bu-
shell when unloading is done by hand,
and 3.8 cents bushel when unload
ing is done by elevator.
Potato picking-4.8 cents bushel
and $3.50 day.
Two months ago, a. similar wage
survey by the federation showed that
farmers were paying an average of
$41.O0 month for general farm
work, and $4,000 for harvesting. In
at least one-third of the counties in
Minnesota, federation officers said
farmers now are paying less than $34
average; on the first 40 counties to
report in the latest survey, 16 declar-
ed $50 to be the prevailing monthly
wage. while four others set it as low
