del's law of heredity we now have a
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 whicth 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
tions following cross. By selec-
ton the desirable form may be iso-
lated.-H. K. Hayes, professor Of
plant breeding, and E. c. Stakman,

BREEDING WHEAT
RESISTANT TO RUST

One of the important projects of
the experiment station at University
Farm is the attempt to produce
spring wheats which are resistant to
black stem rust
While no variety is as yet available
for distribution, much progress has
been made and the studies indicate
that the rust problem eventually can
be solved by the breeding of resistant
varieties, although the task is a diff
fcult one Work is being carried on
under the joint cooperation of a re-
preventative of the Office of cereal in
vestigation. U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, and the respective staffs of
the stations of plant pathology and
of plant breeding.
1t has been learned that there are
several strains of the black stem rust
which can be differentiated only by
their effect on wheat varieties. One
step has been taken to determine the
number of such racial strains Of rust
which are present in the northwest
The next step has been to find varie-
ties resistent to each separate strain
or to several strains.
The method of attack can best be

pasture at night.
There are, of coure, many prepa-
rations on the market which will
abate the fly nuisance for short time
after being applied. These can be
used on milk cows at milking time
and also on cattle that are being fit
ted for show. The effect is tempor-
ary, however, and the treatment OF
large groups of cattle or horses run
ming in pasture is not practicable. A
shaded place, however cheaply it may
be constructed, is the most efficient
and economical method of combating
flies and mosquitoes in pastures lack
ing natural shade. Such shed also
affords protection from the rays OF
the sun and will help to keep up gains
during hot weather.

HARVEST PAY $40 TO
S45 SURVEY REVEALS
Help Available At Price Shown In
Bureau Inquiry, Says Govern

MINNESOTA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION NEWS SERVICE
BY NEIL H SWANSON
Editor News Service

Editor, News Service
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
Farmers of the county. preparing
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 3 5 counties, are as follows:
Average daily wage, general work,
$500; Average daily wage, haying,
81 65; Average daily wage, harvest
ing (shocking), $3.50; Average
monthly wage, general work, $41.00;
Average monthly wage, harvesting
$4,000,
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. Ap-
preach 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 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 f1uc-
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 me1
out of employment, to make them pa!
unnecessary fees for obtaining new
jobs frequently, and at the same tim
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 ant
South Dakota have adopted the sur
Weys in conjunction with Minnesota
and several other states also are try
ing Minnesota's plan.
