years. The crop requires no at
tention after seeding until harvest
time, and while the income is not so
great as some other crops, the
seeding of wheat requires less effort
and allows the farmer to plant more
land than he could if other crops
were grown without the employ
ment of extra help. The help on
farms is a problem that is, to very
large extent, being solved by grow
ing more wheat and less corn'
which crop requires constant cultl-
walton during long growing sea-

attention to growing peas and lma
beans for canneries in Broadklll
hundred and as a result they are
receiving more money and paying
out less for labor.
