NAGES OF LABOR
A Comparative Statement
Since the Year Eighteen
Sixty-six ...

The wages of farm labor is the
s1sbject of a bulletin recently issued
BY the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t was prepared by
direction of Secretary Wilson by
George X. Holmes, chief of the Di-
vision of Production and Distribu-
ton. 1t contains the details of the
latest of series of 10 Investigations
covering a period Of Al years. and a
summary of the preceding investi-
cations is included in the bulletin.
In contracts of hiring by the year,
with board, the wage rates of men
per month increased from $40 % in
1866 to $18.05 in 1909, or gain of
1873 per cent. The gain from 1890
to 1909 was 35.8 per cent.
In contracts of hiring by the sea-
son, with board, the wage rates of
men per month increased from
$12.69 in 1866 to S20.80 in 1909, or
$50 per cent.
The wage rates of men per day,
with board for day labor, were as
certained throughout the period,
and were found to increase from
$l.04 for harvest work in 1866 to
SLAB in 1900, or 37.5 per cent.
From 1890 to 1909 the increase was
,32.4 per cent, and from 1890 to
S909, 800 per cent. t..
- For labor other than harvest,
with board, the wage rates of men
per day increased from Cd cents in
1866 to S1.03 in 1909, or 6O.9 per
cent. The percentage of increase
from 1890 to 1909 was 43.1, and
from 1909 it was 37.3.
Among the geographic divisions
of states in 1909 the highest rate of
wages per month in hiring by the
year. with board, is found in the
western group. where the average
was $31 30. Next in order was the
north central division with $22 %;
third in order was the North Allan.
tic division with $20.73; the South
Atlantic states had an average OF
$14.25; and lowest of all was the
average of the South Atlantic states
$3.50.
Rates of wages do not expires:
the real wages received by the farm
laborer in this country. Apart from
the changes in the purchasing power
of money wages there are various
extras that supplement wage rates
In this Investigation an attempt wa'
made to get information with re
gard to the value of supplementary
allowances. 1t appears that thu

the amount when wages were paid

The average value of feed for
COW, horse. swine or poultry, per
month. ranged from Sill to 50. II;
the value of pasturage for cow
horse, or swine ranged from 65
cents to $1.61; the value of fire
wood for family use, and the team
to haul it, ranged from $1.06 tC
So, 80; the occasional use of team for
hauling was valued at 4S cents tc
$1.70, and the occasional use OF
horse and buggy, probably reaching
as high frequency as weekly use,
range from 81 cents to $2.37.
The estimated value of the fruit
given to the family of the laborers
was reported to be worth from sc
cents to $l.64 per month; the value
of the stabeling for the laborer's
horse. if he had one, was estimated
to be 45 cents to So per month; and
the laundry service for the laborer
estimated to range from rs cents to
So month.
The increase in the purchasing
power in the wage rates of farm
laborers as compared with that of
workingmen was ascertained by the
Bureau of Labor. The purchasing
power of wages, in terms of retail
prices of food from 1890 to 1899, is
regarded as being 10000 For the
period 1899 to 1907, the perchasing
power in the case of workingmen
increased only to l0l 40, but, in the
case of farm laborers, the purchas.
ing power of wages per month in
hiring by the year and season in.
creased to l10,l0; the purchasing
power of day rates of wages for
harvest work increased to 11l.5O,
and Of day rates for other than har
vest work to 1850. Notwithstand.
ing the increase of retail prices of
food, the rates of wages of farm
labor have increased in degrees suf.
ficient to make as new result q
substantial rate of increase.
The wages of women for domestic
labor on farms receives attention
This subject was first investigated
in 1902. In hiring by the season,

women on the farm are higher than
in hiring by the year. The monthly
rate by the season was S9.7l in 1902
$l1.95 in 1906; and $12.02 in 1909
The western division of States has
an average rate far above the aver
age for the United States in 1909
namely. 2l.25; the rates for the
North Atlantic and North Central
divisions the average is So. so; and ir
the South Atlantic division, 1925
The foregoing rates are with board
When the domestic labor of wo
men was employed by the day, the
day rate of wages was 62 cents il
1902; 76 cents in 1906; and II cents
in 1909.
The report declares that in farm
household matters the situation il
acute with regard to the supply o.
hired labor. Country girls as wei
as city girls seem to regard house
hold labor for hire as undesirable
