Returns from the county auditors
OF twenty-four Iowa counties show
that the average farm wage paid for
the summer months of 1913 was S31,
compared with s3o11 paid in 1912.
The winter wage also increased from
s23.2s to se3.s5 month. That wages
are further being increased Is evil
denced by the fact that farmers who
this year have appealed to A. L..
urick, state labor commissioner for
farm hands, have offered s35 month
wages. An advance of 50 month
was noted in jefferson, Van Buren,.
Hamilton, Scott, Floyd. Mitchell.
Grundy and Dallas counties Floyd
county paid the top notch wage at
s3437. and Scott county paid s34.24.
