FARM LABOR SUPPLY
AND DEMAND NORMAL

The figures obtained by the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation from
various County Farm Bureaus on May
indicate-tha the labor situation in
Minnesota is about the same this sea-
son as year ago.
The demand for farm labor is weak
and the supply considered ample.
However, the type of labor that is
available is not considered the best
of farm labor.
The average daily wage for the
month is $500, which is the same
figure as on corresponding day a year
ago. General work per month is
$43.50 for all the counties, whereas
the average on May 1, 1926, was
$46.50.
The eight months season help aver
age is S48 per month, as compared
with $4S.7S per month last year.
These figures include wages paid with
board.
There is probably a weaker demand
for married help than previous sea-
sons.
The average monthly wage for man
and wife is 1928, with but slight
demand.
