FARN LABORPAY CAINS EPORTE Hired Man Makes 5 to 20 Per Cent More Than Last Year. B the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, April 1.—Farm labor is sharing in the farmer's increased incpme and has prospects of getting a bigger slice of the financial melon, & Nstion-wide survey disclosed yester- day. Pay of farm labor practically everywhere in the Nation has been boosted from 5 to 20 per cent during the last year. The possibility of still higher prices for 1937 farm products carried & promise of further pay hikes. - 5 The *“hired ‘man” is receiving more money today then at any time since 1931, and in° some of the more pro- ductive areas, agricultural economists said, further increases may be forth- coming during the Spring planting or harvest seasons. Highest Average, $67. Averages compiled by the United SBtates Department of Agriculture showed Rhode Island has the highest average monthly pay, $41.75 with board and $67.25 without. The 1936 average was $34.50 and $59.25, re- spectively. The low average was re- ported from Georgia, $11.75 with board, up 75 cents over last year. California was second high with an average of $41 with board. In the corn belt States the average with board ranged from $20.75 in Nebraska to $26 in Illinois. Specialized farm workers received higher pay, usually $10 to $15 a month more than ordinary help. | Practically all States, excepting Ohio, & few in New England and the South, reported the supply of farm labor in excess of the demand. Op- erators of small farms in Georgia, the Carolinas and Florida reported they have difficuity in obtaining help. Owners of large farms, however, said they have all the help they need. Increases Voluntary. Generally, the increases have been made voluntarily, but farmers realize that increased industrial employ- ment usually makes inroads on farm labor and apparently they are mak- ing a bid to retain their workers. Agricultural economists predicted a shortage of farm help in some States this year. If the all-time record Win- ter wheat acreage produces the bum- per crop farmers anticipate, there will be & heavy demand for the mi- | Farm- | ers desiring help for several months | gratory type of farm worker. Chicago’s Windy THE EVE City Title Passes to New York in Survey BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 1.—Chicago ap- parently doesn’t rightly own its nick- name of the Nation's “Windy City.” Frederick Rex, municipal librarian, has come up with statistics showing that New York was the windiest city in 1936. His statistical compilation, based on United States Weather Bureau record- ings in 35 strategically located cities in the United States, established that New York's breezes were 15 times stronger than Chicago’s. Rex's survey disclosed that New York had 106 days with winds blow- ing 32 or more miles an hour, whereas Chicago had only 7. Buffalo crowded the Nation’s first city for top ranking wit.. 105 similar days. Cleveland was third, having had 96 days of comparative blow. Sixteen other cities were windier than Chi- cago. Pittsburgh was listed as the foggiest of the 35 communities, Kansas City as the hottest and Minneapolis as the coldest. Rex said it was his guess that Buf- falo made more use of its snow plows than any of the centers in the study, while Santa Fe, N. Mex., had the most sunshine, and thunderstorms were most prevalent at Miami. PUPILS TRAP FUGITIVE HAMPTON, Ga., April 1 (P.— Children in a school yard captured an alleged whisky runner yesterday and held him untfl Federal alcohol tax agents arrived to take the man in custody. The agents were* engaged in a motor car race with the man when he suddenly left his car and ran into the school yard. Children surround- ed him. Officers said he offered his watch to them if they would permit him to go free. As he held the watch forward the youngsters grabbed him. United States Commissioner E. S. Grifith in Atlanta set the man's bonds at $500 on a charge of trans- porting 111 gallons of Georgia moon- shine whisky. Griffith said the man was listed as Jack Mitchell.
