Farmers are looking for hay max

and help scarcer than in war times,
says the Lewiston Journal. AS a re-,
suit hundreds, and probably thOus-
ands of acres in the country will retain
their beautiful crop of grass. The
farmers refuse to pay mon SIS a day,
with dinner, for eight hours work in
the hay field. The 12-foot fall of
snow last winter was credited with
being responsible for the biggest crop,
in prospect, for many years. High
snow banks in winter mean tall grass
in summer, according to the old time
