A ltal L ABORERS8 HAVE GO0) YEAl bvige Hates Reach Ihigh Mark fin 1919. Some Figuares Given. Washington, Feb. 'I.-At n'.o tim'e lave the wage rates of farm labor been is high In this country as they were .n 1919, certainly as far back as 1866, Ahen the -lirst investigation of this itbject was made by the United States lepartment of agriculture. Averages lor the United States are in mind, in the compilation of present figures, and not local rates. For labor hired by the month with board, the' average rate was $36.82, and among the geographic ilivisions the rate was as low as $30.54 in the South Atlantic and as high as $62.96 in the Western, including the .\ ountain and Pacific states. Without board, the average for the Uiled States was $56.29, and the lowest was $4.1.03 in the South Atlantic states, aid tile iighest $87.12 In the Western. Extras, s11c1 as firewood, milk, etc., ;Irv not inciluded, l-larvest wages per (lay with board reaclhed the top figure of $1.48 in the North Central states west of the M is sissippi river id the lowest, $2.28, in the, South Atlantic, atd the averag(' for the ITilted Stat(s was $3.15. With out board the average for the United States was $5.83. IStatements in similar form for day wages for work outside of harvest with board, make the Uiited States average $2.15, that of the North 'Ceii tral states, west of tihe .\lississippi river, $3.22 and of the South Atlantic $1.85. While tile lowest farm wages are in the South Atlantic states and next to the lowest in the South Central states, it is interesting to note that the great est percentage of gain iII rates in 1919 over 1918 among all the groups of states, was inl the latter grou p and that Iext to the greatest gain was in the former grou p. Inl the farming operations of 1919 in this country (.ol wore produced tlat had a valie at. the faIm that was 11.8 per ceint above the v'a tluet of the crop.- of 1918, an(d aniia! products 9.9 Ipetr COi. above, but the gain in t he rate of farmtt halotr froimt 1918 to 1919 er' reltively gr'atcr t han these.
