climate is dry and the summers are

STATISTICS OF FARM LABOR.
Instructive Facts Cleaned From Cen
sus Bulletins.

Chicago Post: According to stats-
riculture, there is a greater number Of
persons engaged in some form of farm
work than in any other branch of la
Dor In 1890, out of % 735, 661 persons.
ten years of age or over. having gainful
occupations in the United States. $3.50
634. or 36.9 per cent, were engaged in
agriculture, and Of these 1904 06l We're
agricultural laborers.
The main object of the statistics is a
consideration of the wages paid this
class of labor 1t is shown that those
who work for hire on the farm are a
decreasing element, as compared with
the entire farm labor of the United
States. Doubtless this is due largely
to improved agricultural machinery and
its wider Introduction.
Farm wages month. by the year or
season. without board and with hoard
We're higher in 1893 than in 1898. The
smallest changes in the rate of wages
from 1898 TO 1899 were in Georgia
Texas and New Mexico, each less than
per cent. The highest gain was in
Minnesota, 10 per cent; followed by
Wisconsin. 10 per cent. Washington
anI Michigan. each 9 per cent: North
Dakota s 5 per cent; South Dakota. -
per cent and Wyoming per cent
There has been a gradual increase in
the rate OF farm wages in the United
States since 1879 when it reached the
minimum. As the demand for such
labor especially in The harvest sea
son, is still good and the supply has
decreased fully one-third. the tendency
OF wages would. naturally be upward.
The uncertain character of farm
work largely dependent as it is on the
promise OF crops, and varying from Il
pressing demand for help in summer
to practically no demand at all in win
ter. makes it difficult to determine just
how many laborers gain livelihood
entirely from agriculture The figures
given represent the number employed
during the year but il is well known
that great many more work ON the
farms in summer than in winter These
statistics do not follow the summer
surplus in the period between harvets.
