De Graft, Kerkhoven, Murdoch, Pen

del's law of heredity we now have a
spring wheat resistant to the forms
of rust to which Kanred is resistant.
A resistant durum was crossed several
years ago with Marquis. By growing
extensive progeny we have obtain
ed from this cross several resistant
wheats which resemble Marquis in
other characters.
The next step is to combine the re-
sistance of these various wheat
strains in a single variety. This can
probably be accomplished by cross
ing and selection. Meanwhile the re-
sistant strains which we now have
will be tested for yielding ability
and for milling quality.
In solving breeding problems the
investigator first determines just
what characters are needed in the
final variety. Individual characters,
yielding ability, rust resistance, etc.,
are then sought in known varieties.
After finding varieties which excel
in special characters, crosses are then
made. Reconciliation of characters
occurs in the second and later genera
lions following a cross. BY selec-
ton the desirable form may be iso-
lated.-H. K. Hayes, professor of
plant breeding, and E. G. Stakman,

for harvest, have before them, as a
gauge for the wages they must pay
for help, the results of the fourth
statewide farm labor survey just COM
pleted by the state farm bureau fed
Grafton.
The average wages now being paid
in the state, on the basis of reports
from IS counties, are as follows:
Average daily wage, general work,
$500; Average daily wage, haying,
$2.65; Average daily wage, harvest
ing (shocking), $3.50; Average
monthly wage, general work, $41.OO;
Average monthly wage, harvesting
$45.0O.
The result of this fourth survey of
the year show an increase of from 10
to 20 per cent in the average wages
paid farm labor, federation officers
report. The previous surveys this
summer showed $3.50 the average
monthly pay of farm laborers. APP
proach of harvest time has brought
about the increase.
All demands for farm help can be
filled readily at the prices shown in
the federation survey, officers of the
Federal, State Municipal free employ
ment bureau, 343 Minnesota Street,
St. Paul, have notified the county
farm bureaus through the state fed
Grafton.
The demand for help is normal in
the larger part of the state, the sur
vey indicates. Five of the first 80
counties to report, state that the de-
mand for help is unusually large, II
report the demand average, and 8 say
it is small.
The monthly labor surveys were
launched by the Minnesota farm bur-
eau with a view to stabilizing the
labor market. In the past, according
to farm bureau officials, widely fiuc-
tuating rates of pay in different parts
of the state have kept farm workers
going from place to place, following
the reports of higher wages. The eff
feet of these fluctuations, the farm
bureau found, was to keep many mer
out of employment, to make them pay
unnecessary fees for obtaining new
jobs frequently, and at the same time
to curtail the supply of steady farm
help available.
The monthly surveys, farm bureau
men say, have benefited both EN-
ployer and farm laborer. North anC
South Dakota have adopted the sur
veys in conjunction with Minnesota
and several other states also are try
ing Minnesota's plan.
