 ]. R. McGehee returned Satur- day from DanVille, kans. where he had been work king in the har- vest. MT. McGehee reports the condition of farmers in that state much worse off than the farmers in this state. They sell wheat at 70c to $1 per bnshel and pay S5. 60 per 100 lbs. for flour. They sell their hogs at 7c pound and pay soc to 60c for bacon and sell cat tie at 2lc to SC and pay 35c for steak. They pay l0c to l5c can more for peaches, pears. salmon, etc. than we pay here. The wool market is still worse. With mil lions of pounds of wool piled up in the warehouses of the West and the growers offered only 16sc q pound while the retailer is asking Sl0. 80 a pound for it in the shape of yarn for knitting. On June lst the farmers met and set the wages of harvest hands at $2. 50 and $3 a day. When the harvest opened they had to pay $4 for common labor, $6 for stackers and $l0 for engineers and separator meE, and there was a shortage of men because the wages offered in June did not attract them. The travelling eX- penses are much greater than in previous years. It cost MT. McGehee S36 to make the round trip. The fare between two points two years ago cost 96c, cost this year. $20l. Meals cost 50c to 75c: beds 75c to Sl. The wheat crop turned out fine. 20 to 30 bushels per acre. They pay 20c a bushel to have 1t threshed. The elevators are all full and cars can not be secured so threshing was stopped.
