High Prices Musi be Paid to Laborers to Increase Fann Yield. Albany, N. Y., May 30.-Farms of New York state will produce their normal contribution of the nations' food supply this season if the far mers are willing to pay the high wages demanded by farm labor, say ** officials of the state department of farms ' and markets. These officials express the belief that the farmers are beginning to realize that their products will command high prices next fall and that this will induce them to pay high wages to laborers ?and to plant at least as many acres as in former years. The farm workers will be found, say department officials, when the farmer is willing to pay them the wages they want. The problem of the farmer is the cost of labor rather than shortage, they declare. Woods men who have been working in the logging camps during the winter are k expected to go on the farms in the summer, Besides, say state officials, the annual "back to the land" mi gration from the cities should help to revive the labor situation. Men who have been lured from the rural communities and tows by the higher j wages offered in shop and factory ? begin to long for outdoor life when the warm days come, they say, and little coaxing is needed to make them exchange their work on bench or ma chine for open spaces of field and meadow. Planting has been delayed, but this is attributed mostly to unfavorable weather conditions. There was diffi culty early in the spring in obtaining seed, fertilizer, farm implements and machinery, but the state officials say ?hese commodities have been sup plied as a result of efforts of the de partment of farms and markets in co-operation with railroad officials. Expectation that the New York state farmer will see his duty and do it this yeai is based in part upon his record in 1917 and 1918 when farm laborers of the draft age were in the ^arrny. The state officials say that the :farmer never before faced such a la bor shortage, but, nevertheless, those were banner years in crop production in New York state, as well as for the bank balances for the farmers. They declare that if the farmers will pay zhe wages demanded he will receive ?this year bigger profits than ever be ; fore. Forage For Hogs. Clemson College, May 31.-"For .* age. crops and good fences," ' says Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of the An imal Husbandry Division, "are the most crying needs of our livestock program in South Carolina.

Bonus Bill Will Sleep in Sen ate. Washington, May 30.-The soldier 'bonus bill, passed yesterday by the house 289 to 92, will be received to - morrow by the senate. The measure will follow the regular course and be . referred to a committee. Inasmuch as a recess and possibly ..adjournment will be taken by c?n . gress Saturday after the political con .vantions, the bonus bill seems doom ed to a long sleep in the senate com mittee. If a recess is tel-.en leaders AD not contemplate reconvening un til about September 1. Some senators a:re quite frank in saying that the bill will never get any further and that tomorrow's reference to a com mittee will in fact be an "interment." Opposition to soldier relief has "?been moje pronounced in the senate t?:an in the house where yesterday's vote showed only forty republicans and 52 democrats recorded against the measure. Tax provisions of the bill are considered particularly odi ous by a number of members of the .senate. H. C. Viele & Company 222 Jackson (8th) Street AUGUSTA, GA.
