records of the population on 1916 rep
resentutive farms ON Feb ! this year
and Feb ! a year ago were made by
federal and state workers. 1t was dis
closed that during the last year the
number of people on these farms de.
creased nearly three per cent. and the
number of hired men decreased more
than II per cent If the same ratio
holds for all farms in the state about
$4,000 men and boys left farming to
go into other industries. while only
about 1900 have changed from other
industries to farming. This is a more
rapid movement from the farms to
other industries than took place in the
early part of the war. N
Il 1.-The same conditions in varying de-
grees exist in all sections, according to
the federal bureau of crop estimates,
although they are not so acute farther
from Industrial centers.
"Another New York report, appli-
cable in some degree in every part of
the country, is that farm wages this
year will average IA per cent higher
than they were in 1919. although in
1919 they were 60 per cent higher than
they were at the beginning of the war
iiuil otlO III PaIbs
of New York state indicate that ex.
perienced farm help, hired by the
month, will be paid this year about So
month and board, as compared Will
| $3.50 last year. Experienced married
men, not boarded but provided with {
house and farm products, are expected
| to receive on the average about 1866
month in cash as compared with $6t
| last year.
| Numerous letters to the department
of agriculture from its field workers
or from farmers indicate widespread,
disposition to cut down paintings S,
that the work of cultivating can be at
tended to by the farmer himself or b,
members of his family. The assertion
that farmers cannot pay the higl
/ wages demanded in competition witt
/ other industries and make a profit o.
their products is frequently made
/ Many farmers also declare it is unfai
| to them to be under the necessity o
/ working 10, II or more hours da
when the tendency in other industrie
is toward shorter working day an
4 decreased output.
