CAN'T AFFORD
HIGHER SCALE
IMPOssIBLE FOR FARMERS TO
INCREASE WAGES, SAYS NJ.
II. BENEDICT.

Brookings, April 28.-Present
prices and costs do not seem to
justify the South Dakota farmers
hiring much labor at higher wages
than last years prevailing scale, is
the opinion of M. R. Benedict, in
charge of the cost of production and
price investigational work in South
Dakota.
Farm wages averaged $3.50 per
month last year in this state, as COM
pared with SIS for 1920 and SGT
for 1910.
''It is a little early to determine
the level of farm wages for the
year." states Mr.. Benedict, "but
there seems to be comparatively lit
tie tendency to boost wages, al
though several counties report more
or less scarcity of farm help. at
least temporarily.
Farm machinery costs are
somewhat lower, and board of help
should be trifle lower.
"On the other hand, horse labor
will be little more expensive. as
the cost of feed is considerable ele-
ment in this cost and practically all
feeds are higher than last year.
1T would look as though acre
costs would be likely to run nearly
the same as last year, but possibly
a little. higher. Bushel costs for the
small grains should run lower in this
section as last years yields were so
much below average that chances
would be considerably against re-
petition OF such extremely low
yields.
Corn, on the other hand, yielded
above average last year and, in fact,
has for three or four years, so IL
would not be surprising to see some
decline in its yield"

DOES NOT SEE
AN ERA OF PEACE

WILL SEE MORE WAR.

London, April 28.-Field Marshal
Sir Henry Wilson. former chief of

believe that an era of general peace

guest at the Anzac day celebration.
Answering the question asked by
the chairman, Are you certain that
there is not going to be another
great war;" he said: my answer to
that Is, as we say in the house of
commons. in the negative. l dom t
think any reflecting person seeing
the state of the world at the present
moment could believe we are in for
long period of profound. peace ]
am an intense nationalist and I don I
believe at this period of the worlds
history in internationaIism. Lord
Cromer has written that the British
empire is based on justise, righteous
ness. mercy and truth. He should
have added the power, inherent In
the people of this country, to govern
From 1911 to 1913 If our rulers had
not been afraid to set out before
the world all the power and majesty
of the British empire, there fould
have been no great war. If future
rulers are not afraid to show the
world our might. there will be nc
other great war. In the autumn oi
1913. when cease firing was start
ed at Qunkirk and was sounded by
our bugles $500 miles to Bara, ths
British empire had reached point
never reached by any people before
