1 he Dream OF henry Fora

blers, small private bankers and all
sorts of parasites" Such is the lot
of the seasonal agricultural worker.
Child Labor.
In the South conditions are shock
ing. Here, as professor J. Smith has
described there is very large class
of one-mule tenant troopers who are
forced early every spring to sign
papers that mortgage away their
crops long before they even break
ground to plant them. They must
have bacon, bread, coffee, clothing,
and mule-feed; they want tobacco,
ribbons, chewing gum, and other in
dulgences, but before the landlord
will sell to them or stand for them
at the country store they must sign
the papers, tho it takes the bread
from their babies mouth, keeps the
winter shoes from their little feet,
and deprives them of their only cows
that supply their babies with milk.
The landlord sees to it that the pa
pers are signed either with name or
crossmark, and he furthermore sees
to it as a rule that the amount he
stood for comes out of the crop be-
fore any of it can go for shoes,
dresses, ribbons, or anything else for
the personal use OF the cropper. Such
is the tenant system Of very poor
turnout the Southland, and it applies
to white and negro alike. 1t guarantees
the rent to the landlord, and it insures
poverty to the tenant and deprives
him Of his freedom. He binds him

tural wage earners are exceedingly
long. They range from 8 to IA per
day according to the type of farm,
season and employer. In many plac-
es, where piece work prevails, the
hours are longer; and in the sugar
beet fields men, women and children
work literally day and night" This
is probably true in other agricultural
work done by the job. Saturday
half-holiday is given only by a few
individual farmers. In brief, the
working day on the farm is longer
than the working day in industry;
and the agricultural workers have
neither leisure for recreation nor
time for sufficient rest.
The wages of the agricultural work
ers are miserably low In 1920, the
average monthly wage of the farm
laborer was S46.S9 with board and
$64.95 without board. Since that date
there was a decided drop in wages.
In 1921, the monthly wages of the
agricultural hand were: $30.14 with
board, and $4S.S9 without board, and
by October 1, 1922. the figures were
s2S.97 with board and $41.5S with
out board. At present they are still
lower. The figures show that between
1920 and October 1, 1922. monthly
wages with board declined SS per
cent; without board SO per cent
while the cost of living declined only
1872 per cent for the same period.
The figures quoted above represent
the average wages Of the Farmland

The Economic Conditions Of the andess Farmers in the u S.

One of the worst features of farm
labor is that of seasonal employment.
Seasonal labor at present comprises
a large proportion of the farm work
ers. It is made up Of workers who
hire out usually for the crop season,
and those who work in gangs, at day
labor, or at specified tasks six to eight
weeks in duration.
The industries of the cities are the
greatest ultimate source of supply Of
seasonal agricultural workers. Thou
sands of city workers, during periods
of industrial depressions, emigrate to
nearby farming communities for a
few weeks or a whole season in order
to supplement their meager earnings
The conditions Of life of this class Of
agricultural workers are such "as to
inevitably weaken their character and
physique, to make them carriers of
disease, and to create in them a habit
Of unsteadiness and migration" On
the farms these workers are regard
ed as social pariahs; they are usually
lodged in barns and stacks. When
they return to the city to spend time
between seasons, they not only meet
the unhealthy and demoralizing inf1u-
ences of the cheap lodging houses, sa-
looms, houses of prostitution, and 9TH
er similar establishments in the
slums, but they fall easy prey to gam

self out for a season for bread and
clothes for himself and family" This
description explains why the children
Of the agricultural laborers work on
the cotton fields Of the South; Thru
out the cotton regions, children be-
tween the ages of and is work in
the fields performing large proper
ton of the labor.
Somewhat similar conditions pre-
vail in other parts OF the country. In
the sugar beet fields, children of S
and s, thin, weed, pull, top. pile and
cover beets at the various stages Of
the season." They work between 10
and IA hours a day, which leads to
countless accidents. A national Child
Labor Committee says; I'VE saw
wrists that were swollen and lame,
hands that were sore, cracked and
full of dirt, and knees that were sore,
cracked, and calloused. The glare
Of the sun is very severe strain
upon the eyes Of many children"
Fingers accidently amputated in
topping" the beets, rheumatism and
other ailments from exposure to all
weathers, were cited as being all to
common. On the cotton fields of Cali
