Two thousand ad ditional experienced farm laborers are going to be required to harvest the gigantic hay crop in the sand hills country of Nebraska this sum mer, according to estimates of those who are well Informed In this dis trict. One factor that is likely to make this need even more keenly felt is the strong demand South Dakota, and Wyoming will make for laborers to take care of her wheat harvest, according to advices received here from the State Iabor Bureau at Lin coln. Wyoming bas put in n call for 10.000 additional men. The Nebraska wheat crop is like ly to be below normal this year, ad ditional men will certainly be need ed to put up the big hay crop In the sand hills. In all probability, this Is the only large labor shortage the slate will experience.
