FARM LABORERS NOW
DEMAND HIGHER WAGES

Cheswold. Oct. 2L--Among farmers
there is much talk about high wages
and especially the prices for husking
corn. The prevailing cool and frosty
weather has driven many to early
huskng and the day worker has
sprung his prices with good effect Tor
himself
Farmers say it is not scarcity of la
Dor now that justifies high wages but
its dollar wheat and big peach money
in the minds Of laborers, who think
should be shared with them. At IL
and cents per bushel basket for husk-
ilg every shelled bushel costs approxi-
nately and cents. and when the
land owner delivers his corn on the
market his expense per bushel will
have been eight or ten cents, and a
tenant in delivering his and landlords
shares will have been eighteen TO
twenty-five cents expense per every
shelled bushel of his own is the way
farmers are figuring on the wage ques-
tion. The demand for corn on the cob
seems steadily growing. however, in
which case farmers are not quite ready
10 sum up costs or the advantages. II
there be any.
