An idea OF how farm wages has
Increased In Virginia can be gathered
from the agricultural department 8
bulletin on the subject. In 1898 the
Virginia scale was s9.s4 per month
with board. and sl4,4o without board;
in 1899, it was slo.4s with board
and sf4Sa without board. IN laoS,
il was Sis with board and. $al-ll /
without board, and in 1913 II was
si6.10 with board. and s23.ao with
cut board.
The Virginia farm lahorers nave
mach shorter hours than those in
other States Tweuty-eight states
work their farm hands longer hours
IN the spring than Virginia, sixteen
states longer in the summer season;
eighteen States longer IN the fail! ana
twenty DUNG the winter.
In the spring season the average
working day Is nine hours and forty
five minutes; in the summer, ten
hours and fifty-fve pinutes: in the
fall. nine hours and fifty minutes, and
in the winter eight hours and thirty
five minutes.
Wages in different sections OF the
United States vary widely. averaging
highest In the far Western States ana
lowest in the South Atlantic states.
For instance, tho monthly rate, with
out board. Is $3.50 in Nevada. s54
in Montana, and ssh In Utah; but
s17.a0 In South Carolina, $3.50 IN
Mississippi, and sso.2o In georgia,
The highest State average, $3.50, Is
thus seen to be 80 times higher than
