C. WILSON GIVES REASON FOR
LABOR MOBILIZATION
Secretary of Labor Wilson makes
epxlanation of the general mobi
tion of labor for war industries,
ting for which is to begin Aug

Beginning with common labor,

"The war can net be won without
platinum," Bs PrW.E I*rson, "sad it
is equally essetial in times of peace
if our country. is to excel Germn i
in the developmnent of cheekal id,.
ence and industry. With the aid of
platinum from one ordinary wedding
ring about 100 pounds of nitric acid
can be made every 24 hours. This
100 -pounds of nitric acid converted
into high eplxosives will send a nuni
ber of 3-inch shells against the Ger
mans and help to bring the boys back
home.
"`Platinum rings, pins, cigarette
cases, and mesh bags are not factors
in winning this war-explosives are.
I wonder if the purchasers and wear
ers of platinum jewelry know that
explosives can not be manufacture4
without the use of sulphuric and nft
ric acids; that the manufacture of
these acids require the use of sup
plies of platinum; that airplanes
must have platinum for important
instruments they need; that platinum
is absolutely necessary in the manu
facture of special pyr omn ; that
pyrometers are nedessar in all steel
treatments; and that no guns can be
made without the use of pyrometers.
"There is a shortage lh the supply
of platinum. Russia has a corner on
the world's supply, and Germany is
in Russia.

detailed reports from the counties
tllow;
Firgus-Winter wheat harvest, has
started in the eastern district, 1ut
wheat is t6o short for binding and
header attachments are in great de
mand. It is estimated that the yield
in the Judith Basin Will be from eight
to ten bushels per acre. ifeavy rains
are needed for spring wheat.
Stillwater-Winter wheat is ready
for harvest. The grains are well
filled and the production for the
county will average 25 bushels pet
acre. Spring wheat has been burned
in spots, but owing to recent rains
it will nmake a fair crop. Oats are
short but filling well and a fair yield
'is expected. The first cutting of al
falfa has been made and the yield
is about 80 per 'cent of the normal.
About 200 men will be needed in the
county for the harvesting season.
Sheridan-It is estimated that the
yield of wheat will be six bushels per
acre, oats and barley each ten, while
rye will yield the highest .of any
grain. The latter crop is being har
vested and there are approximately
20,000 acres in rye in the county.
1,500 harvest, hands will be needed,
many of them for fall work.
Yetiowstone-The' harvesting of
winter wheat is under way, and
spring grain is headed out. The al
falfa croEp is excellent but the first
cutting is late in some sections.
Sugar beete are doing well. There
,is ample supply of labor in the coun
ry inediately surroumding Billing
but it is short in the' edunty. The
going rate at wages is $85 a month
and board.
Custer-Winter wheat and rye are
practically all in the shock akd
spring grains are ripening rapidly,
especially where they hsve been in
jured by drouth. Corn is in excellent
condition. Alfalfa meadows are
grow ing rapidly and the second -
Ting will soon be reaidy. The IAb
situation is not serious.
4:Micami-dWhile in the extreme
western part of the county crops are
`pretty well dried up, in other sec
tions, especially in the northern and
eastern parts, they are holding their
own as a rule. A good rain, it is
said, would increase the yield three
or four bushels an acre.
Blaine--4)wiuig to the continuation
of the drouth, a crop failure is prac
tically certain throughout the coun
ty, except in the 'northeastern see
tion. Haying is well albng in the
valley and there will be a fair yield,
but the acreage is below normal ow"
ing to winter killing.
trill-The drouth has continued
with hol west winds. Most of the
rye has been cut for hay and only a
small percentage of the grain crop
1wi i &t for grain: Hay crop short.
Le&ia and Clark-Spring wheat
