Farm Wages in Dakota.

Farm wages offered in North Da-
kota this season are practically the
same as those prevailing throughout
Minnesota, according to the first re-
turns of the North Dakota Farm Bu-
reau federation's labor survey. Wages
offered range from $50 to $40, with
the average about $3.50. This ave-
rage is the same as that revealed by
the statewide farm labor survey just
completed by the Minnesota Farm Btu
reau federation. Most of the first ten
North Dakota counties to report, de-
clared that they had an over supply
of farm help. North and South Da-
kota and Minnesota farm bureau fed
erations are cooperating to find ave-
rage wages available and the condi-
ton of supply and demand in the farm
labor market, in an effort to prevent
violent fluctuations in wages and to
provide steady employment at fair

A countrywide boys and girls club
has been organized. The boy or girl
joining this club will be required to
keep record, of at least one pig, far
