HIGHEST FARM WAGES
IN HALF CENTURY

Wagss for farm labor in the Unit
ed States have more than doubled
since 1902 and have increased 40 to
Ga per cent for the different classes
Of hirings since 1916, Of SO for farm
labor in general. These compari-
sons are warranted by the results Of
recent investigation made by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
For 1918, the wage rate per month
with board was $34.92, without
board $4707; per day in harvest
with board $265; without board,
1922 per day out Of harvest with
board $3.50. These are averages
for the United States. The highest
rates we're in the far West, and merit
below are those of the North Central
States. The wage rates of the
South Atlantic States were lowest
and we're little below those of the
South Central States, as State
group averages. A record of fifty
three years Of farm wages places
1918 at the top, and far above the
highest rates Of the half century be-
fore 1916. Wage earnings measured
by purchasing power may warrant a
different statement.
While the wages Of farm labor
have greatly increased in only two
years and have doubled in 16 years,
it is interesting to observe that from
the time Of low-water mark in farm
wages, 25 years ago in the great in
dustrial depression of 1893-97, the
rates have increased from 165 to
229 per cent for the different class
es of hirings.
Day wages on farms increased in
greater degree than month wages
did during the last two years, and
this is true for the last 16 years, ex-
cept for month wages with board.
Wages by day for work outside of
harvest have advanced more strong
ly than for harvest work Appar-
emily the procurement of month la
Dor is less of problem to the farm
er than the finding of day labor, es-
pecially for the work outside of
harvest.

Which isn't a very nice way.

the bag.
Which isn't a very nice way.
OF course there were exceptions
to this rule. There were whole com
munities, whole counties, and in a
few instances whole states where
the farmer came through.
But go up and down the length
and breadth of the land and the
farmer was a disappointment and a
sorry figure in the bond campaign.
The big question now, when lie
stands to cash in at 20 per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is
what is he going to do in the next
Liberty Loan Drive.
And it interests every one of us,
for in the finality we will pay the
bill. The chances are flour prices
will still keep right where they are.
Europe is buying wheat right now
from the big accumulations of the
last two or three years in Argentine
and Australia at something like
$3.50 a bushel.
Without the government guarun-
tee the American farmer would be
getting no more than this price now.
And be doing well at that.
And if he is to save his face, if
he is to retain the respect of the
American public, if he is to con-
tinue to be regarded the backbone of
the nation, he must do his part in
this next bond issue.
If he fails he is no more nor less
than a plain migrate.

FIRE DAMAGES
MITCHUM HOME

Fire, starting it is thought from a
furnace spark, and spreading rapidly
through the dry air over the entire
roof, caused considerable damage, es-
timated at quite a bit oyer $4,000 to
the residence of A. B. Mitchum, north
Poplar street, on Wednesday after
noon. A $4,000 insurance on the
property it is thought will not nearly
cover the damage. Timely assist
ance of friends and unusually prompt
and efficient action on behalf of the
fire department, kept the flames from
entirely devouring the house and the
handsome house furnishings, which
though slightly marred by hurried
moving, were all saved. The fact
that the house was brick was an ad-
vantage.
The alarm for this fire was the
third that has been sounded within
The week, but the other two were

the average church member of the

rlous consideration to the amount he
will subscribe to the cause.
A number of handsome gifts have
already been pledged The real sue

Rev. Storer, the Associational or
ganizer, has encountered innumerable
handicaps in carrying on the work of

meeting was held in jackson, but this
was for all the Associational Direc-
tors and publicity men from West

parted for home. The straight -ou
ratification resolution was defeated
on the third vote 38 for to 53 a
gainst. The first two votes were TAX
en- ON the resolution drafted by the
Republican majority containing res
ervations which President Wilson de.
clared would nullify the treaty.
This rejection of the treaty will be
final unless President Wilson with.
draws it and submits it again to the
Senate. 1t is improbable that it will
again come up at the beginning OF
the next session of congress, which
convenes December i.
A resolution was. offered by the
Republican leaders declaring the
state of war at an end. This resolu-
tion will come up for vote at the
beginning of the new session
The administration is understood
to be opposed to such method of
legally ending war, and in the back
ground is a constitutional question as
to whether Congress can do 50 by a
resolution not requiring the Presi-
dents signature.
One effect of the Senate's failure
to ratify the treaty will be the con-
tinuatisn of Various wartime laws
and regulations, at least until the
new session opens. Among these is
the wartime prohibition acts
The resolution for ratification with
out reservations was put IN by Sena-
tor Underwood, Democrat, Alabama,
afer the second defeat of the other
measure. 1t was held in order and
voted upon without debate, but when
Senator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada,
sought to get action on another res
olution, containing Interpretation res
ervations, the treaty consideration
was cut short by a point of order by
Republican Leader Lodge. Vice
President Marshall held that previous
decisions of the Senate in overriding
his decisions and rulings would oper-
ate to sustain the position taken by
