FARM WAGES In. DAKOTA
SAME AS IN MINNESOTA

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 Blu
reau federation's labor survey. Wa
ges offered range from $50 to $40
with the average about $3.50. This
average is the same as that revealed
by the statewide farm labor survey
just completed by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation. Most OF
the first ten North Dakota counties
to report, declared that they had an
over supply of farm help.
North and South Dakota and Min
nesota farm bureau declarations are
cooperating to find average wages
available and the condition Of supply
and demand in the farm labor mar
ket, in an effort to prevent violent
fluctuations in wages and to provide
steady employment at fair pay, as
we'll as to give the farmers efficient
help when they most need 1t. None
of the declarations is attempting to
fix wages.

Agricultural Elements All Seem
to Favor Farmer and Also i
Larger Acreage :
FARM LABOR PLENTIFUL i.
MINNESOTA
State Apparently Will Gain
More National Reputation
for Its sDairying

St. Paul, April seeding is well
under way in Minnesota with the ex-
ception of a few Northern districts
and information obtained from &C
CITRATE sources in nearly every coun-
ty the past week, by the Merchants
National Bank Of Saint Paul, indi-
Gates that agricultural elements all
seem to favor the farmer. Good
weather, less expensive labor and
cheaper seed have caused a great
many farmers to plant a larger acre
age than they had planned. a%
Newspaper publishers in a consider
able number of counties Joined with
bankers to provide comprehensive in
formation for the weekly outline of
agricultural conditions. Judging
from the tone of reports received from
every leading city and rural centers
such as ROseau, 'Renville, Fosston,
Mahnomen, Delano, Cold Springs,
Clara City, Litchfield, Benson, ana
Walker, farmers are pushing their
spring work. y, IT,. j.
Labor lis plentiful throughout the
state. There seems ITO be some fluc-
tuation in wages but a recent survey
indicated that the average farm wage
this year would be $38 a month.
Minnesota bankers who have obtain
ed information from other states, be-
slieve this sum will compare favorably
with any section of the agricultural
Northwest.
15 There has been considerable rain
in Central and Northern Minnesota.
Fields are said to he drying fast In
the northern counties where farm
ers spent the past week getting ready
for spring work. IN central coun-
ties conditions are more advanced, al
though not qHite SO far along as IN
the southern districts. Bankers In
Central counties commented upon the
fact that although labor seems to be
plentiful, farm workers have been
demanding higher wages than the
farmers want to pay. 4
Despite the fact that Minnesota
has a national reputation as a dairy
state, 1t seems certain that the year
1921, viii be marked by unprecedent-
ed activities. Even with money ex-
tremely tight, farmers have been i'm
proving their herds and there have
been numerous reports of farmers de-
laying the purchase Of machinery
and automobiles, so that they might
buy registered cattle and hogs. More
creameries are being erected or pro-
jected. Building activities seem to
be slumping.
