FARMERS PAY MORE
FOR CROP PRODUCTION

If the farmer gets more for his
crops in those days Of the high cost
of living he is compelled to pay more
for their production. through the in
creased cost of farm labor. This fact
is shown by the department of agri-
culture in a bulletin just issued by
Chief Statistician Victor Olmsted.
The average wages Of farm labor
during 1910, based upon reports Of
agents and correspondents of the "
partment, with comparisons, is given
by the statistician as follows:
The salary of a farm hand with
out board, averaged throughout the
United States s27.5O per month; with
board it was s1S.33; while the farmers
of the far west were compelled to pay
their hired men, without board, Sac
AS; and with board. $3.50.
During the harvest period, the far
mers paid an average of S1.S2 per
day. without boarding their help;
with board, an average of $1.S0. The
western farmers paid, sass per day,
without board, and S1.96 with board.
IN lSSu, according TO tne depart
ment. the average salary, per month,
paid for hired help throughout the
United States was s1S.3S, without
board. as compared with $3.50 in
1910. With board, the farmers paid
in 1890 only s1245 per month as
against $500 in 1910.
Far western farmers paid, without
boord S2A 6O nor month in 1890.
while in 1910 they were forced to pay
their help s46.4S. With board, the
hired laborers received only s22.S0
per month in 1890, while in 1910
they were paid $3.50.

to make life perpetual, it is a fact that
life can be prolonged. Many people
die before their time because the or.
qans become clogged and cannot do
their work. To keep the body open,
active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia,
AatuIency, liver troubles, etc. If old or
young people suffer from these com,
plants they can find a ready cure with
