SHORTAGE of FARM L-\BOR
The farm labor situation is
acute. According to reports pro
cured by the Department of Ag
riculture, ibis years shortage
bids fair to be as low as that of
19lrt, when such numbers of men
were in military service.
Practically every state reports
that the supply of hired farm
labor is only about 72 per cent
ol normal, compared with app
roximately b4 per cent of a norm
al supply a year ago.
Yet farm wages are 15 to 25 per
cent higher.
In Minnesota farmers are off
ering $75 per month plus board
and washing, but say it is diffic
ult to be supplied even at that
figure.
In Pennsylvania the chief cause
of the shortage seems to be the
high wages paid by industries'
in the cities.
In Idaho there is no labor
shortage, nor does the situation
in the Pacific states seem so
acute as in the East.
