fourth Of the purchase price in cash
and giving his notes for the balance

speaking In a general way, the amount
Of capital required as a minimum for

one and fourth times the cost price
Of the land. This would involve going

for trucking and fruit growing will

The differences In the price OF land
here assumed for the different types
Of farming will be considered in the
article dealing with the best location
for the beginner.
In the irrigated regions OF the west,
generally speaking. more capital Is re-
CURED for beginning than elsewhere
on account OF the high cost of the
irrigation water available the yields
to be obtained can generally be made
to compensate for the higher land
values.
The farmer whose family is able to
do all the labor on che farm can begin
with less capital than the individual
who must hire a large part of his
labor Again, something depends up
on the character Of the land itself. II

WISCONSIN FARM
HANDS BEST PAID
PAYS LABoRERS MORE THAN
TWICE AS MUCH AS THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
HIGHER AT HARVEST TIME
Average Monthly Wage of Hired
Hands in Badger State Was $27.4o
During 1912-Average for Entire
United States Only $2O.9i.

Washington, ID. C.-The state OF
Wisconsin has the highest priced
farm labor in the United States, east
of the Mississippi river, according to
tabulation made by government sta
tisticians. The average monthly
wage of the hired hands" in the
state of Wisconsin during 1912 was
$27.40, with board. The average for
the entire United States was only
$2O.S1, and this includes the higher
salaries paid in the Rocky Mountain
states, which, owing to local condi-
tions, are abnormally high. Nevada,
for instance, has an average wage OF
s4O.2O per month, with board.
The Wisconsin rate is more than
twice that paid in most of the south
ern states. 1t is greater by $2.40
than the rate paid Ill illinois. Michi-
gan pays $24.50, almost SO less than
Wisconsin. In Indiana and Ohio the
wage is S21.50, or almost Sc less
than the pay of the Wisconsin work
err. The highest pay in New England
is $3.50 in Vermont, and from this
the wages on the north Atlantic
coast run down to $3.50 In Pennsyl-
vania. On the south Atlantic coast
The wages reach :. minimum of
$3.50 in South Carolina and the av-
erage rate for the entire South At
lantic coast from Delaware to Flor
ida is only $14.97.
The Wisconsin rate without board
is $3.50 and this is exceeded only
by the rate in Massachusetts with
out board. where it is $3.50, but the
proportion Of wages paid on this
basis is SO slight that it does not ma
terially change the government sta
tistics concerning the average rate of
farm pay, and Wisconsin continues to
hold the highest place in this scale.
The government tables also give
the wages per day, both at harvest
times and at times other than har-
vest days. In Wisconsin the rate per
day at harvest, with board, was
$1.61 in 1902, $1.75 in 1911 and
S1.S5 in 1912. The rate without
board was S1.96 in 1902, $2.1S in
1911 and $2.2S in 1912 During
times other than harvest the rate
In 1902, with board, was $1.14. in
1911 $1.37 and in 1912 $1.46. The
rate without board was $3.50 in
1902, SIG in 1911 and $1.S7 in
1912.
The statistics show that through
out the United States the wages OF
farm labor increased about 80 per
cent during the last year and Z per
cent during the last two years. Since
1902 the increase has been about "a
per cent.

HIGHWAY FuND@glll ~ SEES
Measure Appropriating $4,000 for
State Roads Ready fer Sigma.
ture Of Governor.

Madison. assembly has con-
Cured in the amended bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the state high
way fund providing there shall be no
drafts on the general fund for the
money until the present mo- les in
that fund are exhausted In its
amended form the bill will receive
the approval of the governor In a
way movement has been started to-
ward the adoption of new principle
in this state In changing the form
of the highway appropriation bill.
1t has been the practice immediately
upon the adoption of an appropria-
ton bill to make transfer to the
special fund from the general fund
OF the amount, of the appropriation,
and in this way the special fund has
enjoyed the benefit of the accruing
interest. The demand for a change
in this highway bill may stop this
practice There is now over $780,
600 in the highway fund and not
over $4,000 Of the appropriation
made at this session will be needed

Initial Victory for Suffragists.
Woman sufYrage won its initial
victory on the floor of the legislature
when the senate, under suspension
of the rules, by vote of II to Is,
passed measure similar to the bill
passed two years ago providing that
the women shall have the right of
the ballot providing the masculine
voters at the polls in the next gen.
eral election endorse the bill. The
women who are working for the bill
will now make great efforts to Sc
cure its passage in the assembly.
Would Bar Voting Machines.
Voting machines will be forbidden
for use in any election in Wiscon-
sin if new bill which Assembfymau
Mahon presented becomes law.
Residents OF several cities of the
state will oppose the bill, as wher-
ever they have been introduced, vot-
ing machines are said to be popular.
The objection raised to them is that
tney are conducive TO party voting
and that split ballots are not possi-
bic on the machines as where the
vote is by paper ballot.
Advocates Big Penal Farm.
That there should be a 6O0-acre
farm in connection with the state
prison at Waupua so the institution
would be more nearly self-supporting
was advocated by Miss Katherine
Williams. member of the state
board of control, before the assem-
bly, committee on state affairs. She
said that there were about 800 acres
OF land used in connection with the
prison at the present time. Several
bills are under consideration by the
committee relating to prison condi-
lions and contract labor.

but this is a dangerous thing to do.
Others will require the full amount
necessary to buy the land and to
properly equip and stock 1t and two
or three years living expenses in
addition
The largest item of capital is, OF
course, the land itself A few years
ago land could be obtained by home
stead at very little expense. 1t must
now be purchased. There are few
localities in the United States, mostly
in the south, where farm land can
be purchased for $40 to $40 per acre
Usually. however, this land Is held in
large tracts, which when cut up into
small tracts sells readily at $40 to
$50 per acre. Prices range all the
way from those above mentioned to
$4,000 an acre for some of the best
fruit farms we'll set to bearing trees
in some of the irrigated regions OF the
west. Generally speaking, the small
farm should be near CITY, and for
that reason will usually consist OF high
priced land.
In farming more than any other
business the amount of capital re-
CURED at the start depends upon tho
degree to which tho individual is cap
able of leading the strenuous life.
The city family who moves to the
country with small capital usually be-
comes very much discouraged before
success rewards their efforts. because
to succeed under such conditions re-
quires hard living.
In the matter OF the dwelling house
one may be content to camp for a
year or two In a shack costing not
over $50 A fairly good house for
small family on the farm can be
built at cost of from $500 to s., 900, de-
pending on the size Of the family and
the cost OF materials. This assumes
however. that the farmer himself does
the hauling and a good part of the
carpenter work. Where the farmer
can do all the work himself the mater
ials for very good house need not
cost over $500.
1t is easily seen that with the price
of land varying as 1t does 1t Is not
! possible to state definite sum as
the safe limit OF capital with which
family may begin upon the farm, but
In the next article some details will
be given which ought to enable the
individual to determine the amount
Of capital with which he can safely
begin the business.
