HARVEST PAY $40 TO
SIS, SURVEY R YEAIS
Help Available at Price Shown ii
Bureau Inquiry, Says Govern
ment Agency

Farmers of the county, preparing for
harvest have before them, as gauge
for the wages they must pay for help,
the results of the fourth statewide
farm labor survey just completed by
the state farm bureau federation.
The average wages now being paid
| in the state, on the basis of reports
from $50 counties, are as follows
Average daily, wage, general work,
81. Average daily wage, haying, 1926.
Average daily wage, harvesting (shOck-
ing), $3.50. Average monthly wage,
general work. $41 Average monthly
wage, harvesting, $40. s=4..=.s
The results Of this fourth survey
Of the year show an increase OF from
10 to 20 per cent in the average wages
paid farm labor, federation officers re
port. The previous surveys this sum-
mer showed $37 80 the average monthly
pay for farm laborers. Approach Of
harvest time has brought about the IN
crease. s55.,s al. s.
All demands for farm help can be
filled readily at the prices shown in
the federation survey, officers Of the
Federal, State Municipal free employ
ment bureau, 33443 Minnesota street, st.
Paul, have notified the county farm
bureaus through the state federation.
The demand for help is normal in
the larger part Of the state, the survey
indicates. Five of the first 80 counties
to report, state that the demand for
help is unusually large, Il report the
demand average, and eight say It is
small. i:
The monthly labor surveys were
launched by the Minnesota farm bu-
reau with a view to stabilizing the la
Dor market. In the past, according to
farm bureau officials, widely huctuat-
ing rates Of pay in different parts OF
the state have kept farm workers go-
ing from place to place, following re-
ports of higher wages. The effect of
these fluctuations, the farm bureau
found, was to keep many men out of
employment, to make them pay I'M
necessary fees for obtaining new jobs
frequently, and at the same time to cur
tail the supply of steady farm help
available. 81 Sc 4. w
The monthly surveys, farm bureau
men say, have benefited both employer
and farm laborer North and South

conjunction with Minnesota, and sew.

FARMERS WATCHlN,
TARIFF MANEUVERS
FIRST Draft Of Import Levies Recog-
nizes Demand For
Protection

Farmers in this county and through
out the state are watching the prog
ress of tariff legislation in congress
to see whether the producers demands
for protection are to be needed.
Farm bureau members have in m1no
the contention of their organization
submitted to congress by the Washing.
ton Office of the American Farm Blu
reau federation.
$50 long as the farmer is compelled
to buy on a protected market, justice
requires that he be enabled to sell or
a protected market.
The permanent tariff bill is now be
fore congress, as reported by the house
ways and means committee. The Amer.
lean federation, in summary of the
new tariff bill prepared for the infor-
nation of the county farm bureaus
compares the proposed schedules with
those of the Underwood tariff act, the
one previously in force. The summary
follows: " sa zs
"Wools- Imported in the grease or
washed, 25 cents per pound Of clean
content. Imported in the soured state,
20 cents per pound. Imported on the
skin, "a cents per pound for clean con.
tent" t-.-., =. ss
IF wool is imported in the grease
the shrinkage of the wool would de
termine whether or not this is higher
protection than under the Payne-Al,
drich bill. For instance the Payne
Aldrich duty was II cents per pound
for wool in the grease. If 80 percent
shrinkage wool is imported today II
would have to pay a duty Of 1211a cents
per pound. However, it is very prob
able that. with the new tariff in effect
increasingly large quantities of wool
will be imported in the soured state
paying a duty of 26 cents per pound
when under the Payne-Aldrich bill
soured wool paid a duty of 80 cents
per pound. Under the Underwood bill
woods were imported free. .:.c

UNITED CREAMERIES

Cooperation Brings Market to Farm
Reversing Established
System =

Making the eastern market come to
the Minnesota farm is the latest a.
chievement of cooperative marketing
enterprises in the northwest, according
to John Brandt Of Litchfeld, secretary
of the new Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries association, Inc.
- Twenty cooperative creameries in
Meeker, Wright and Kandiyohi counties
which have united to form a shipping
unit, have reversed the traditional sys-
TEN which compels the producer to
hunt for his market, Mr.. Brandt says.
'"The 20 creameries in the unit have
shipped 26 carloads of butter in the
last three MONTHS Mr.. Brandt said
today. "The saving resulting from low
er freight rates, obtained by shipping
in carload lots has amounted to as
high as Sc cents a hundred pounds.
The association also is buying tubs and
salt for it's members, and seven cream
cries have begun grading with a view
to shipping large quantities Of one
standard to command better market.
1.-THE most significant result Of CO
operation, is however, the influence
welded BY this little unit Of 20 cream
cries on the large markets. Already
three buyers, representing the New
York, the Boston and the Philade lphia
markets, have come to us seeking the
business of the associat ton.
When a unit Of 20 creameries can
accomplish such results, officers OF the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation
