In fact, they were al-| most double the average for the) United States, according to fig-| ures released by the Boice office | of the Idaho crop reporting ser- | vice. The average rate per| month without board was $93.60 | last year and $86.2 in 1918, or an increase of 8.5 per cent in one year. Back in the good old days of 1910, when prices seemed a bit unreasonable, Idaho farm-| ers were paying $49.50 a month for the same class of labor, which price at that time was ex- ceeded only in three other states. Thus in the short space of ten years the farmer has been re- quired to increase the wages of his hired man 89 per cent. When the farmer furnished board for his men, the monthly wage in 1919 was $69.00; in 1918, $64.00; in 1910, $35.00, only one state exceeding the| == Idaho 1919 and 1918 rate, while| = two states exceeded the 1910) rate. Harvest hands without board! were paid $4.95 in 1919; $4.45 in| 1918 and $2.80 in 1910. These seem reasonable enough when compared with $6.00 and $6.25 a day paid last year in South Dakota and Nebraska harvest fields. When board was furnish- ed the Idaho harvest hand re- ceived $4.00 per day last year; $3.60 in 1918 and $2.20 back in 1910. . For work other than harvest Idaho farmers paid $4.50 per day | Without board in 1919; $3.95 a day in 1918 and $2.27 in 1910. | | With meals furnished the rate| was $3.45 per day during 1919;| $3.10 for 1918 and $1.70 in 1910. | | FD It is interesting to note that in the nine northern counties the| average monthly wage of $62.77, | including board, is lower than in| any other district of the state, while the rate per day for har-| vest hands of $4.44 and and |, board is the highest. The west- | ern district, composed of Adams | and Washington counties, pays | the highest monthly wage, $75.-| 00 and board, and the south-| Car. Cottonseed Cake eastern district, Pocatello east and south, pays the lowest daily | wage, $8.77 and board. | SMA’ HOURS OF THE NIGHT, DOESN'T IT? —WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Simon Bros.
