Paid Big Wages

The following summary of wages
paid on Idaho farms IN comparison
to wages in other states, prepared
by Field Agent jacobson. will be
Of interest to farmers:
Idaho paid the highest monthly
wages for farm labor in 1919 and
1918 of any state in the Union.
In fact, they were almost, double
the average for the United States,
according to Figures released by
the Boise Office Of the Idaho crop re-
porting service. The average rate
per month without board was $93.60
last year and $86.25 in 1918, or an
increase OF 8.5 per cent IN one year.
Back in the good old days OF 1910,
when prices seemed a bit unreason-
able, Idaho farmers were paying
$49. so month for the same class of
labor, which price at that time was
exceeded only in three other states.
Thus in the snort space of ten years
the farmer has been required to IN
crease the wages of his hired man
80 per cent. e
When the farmer furnished board
for his men, the monthly wage in
1919 was $4,000; in 1918, $64.O0; in
1910, $500, only one state exceed
ing the Idaho 1919 and 1918 rate,
while two states exceeded the 1910
rate.
Harvest hands without board were
paid $4.95 in 1919; $4.45 in 1918 and
$3.50 in 1910. These seem reason
able enough when compared with
$500 and $6.25 day paid last year
in South Dakota and Nebraska har-
vest fields. When board was fur.
nished, the Idaho harvest hand re.
ceived $4.OO per day last year; $3.50
IN 1918 and So. 90 back IN 1910.
For work other than harvest
Idaho farmers paid $3.50 per day
without board in 1919; 1895 day
in 1918 and 1927 in 1910. Witt
meals furnished the rate was $3.4'
: per day during 1919; sa.1o for 1915
and S1.70 in 1910.
1t is interesting to note that II
the nine northern counties the aver
: age monthly wage OF $62.7, includ
|, ing board. is lower than in any.
: other district Of the state, Will
) the rate per day for harvest hand
: of $4.44 and board is the highest
, The western district, composed o
> Adams and Washington counties
: pays the highest monthly wage
$751; and board, and the souther
district, -Pocatello east and soutf
pays the lowest daily wage, S3.7
and board.

Land Assessments Higher

Agricultural lands are due for
boost in valuation for tax assess
ment purposes when they are listed
this spring. Before the close of
their annual session at Boise, asses
sors of the state adopted recon-
mendation by the committee on
land valuations pledging them
selves to show substantial in
crease in the value of such classifi-
cations of land in 1920 over the
eoualized valuation of 1919.

Chris Maler of American Ridge
says there isn't much money trying
to raise grain exclusively in a
semi-arld country. He got his start
in Nebraska by keeping bunch
of stock along with his grain farm
ing operations. If the grain was
too light to make it a paying crop
to thresh, he cut it for hay and fed
it to MS stock. making money even
on his short crops.

done the commission may be called
upon to restrict the tonnage of loads

In reference to the car shortage,
the report has the following para

II is to be hoped that when the
administration returns the railroads
TO their owners, that they will make
some proper provision for replacing

equipment by railroads, For only in
this way will the various states be

The report closes with the follow
