It merely adds, as a part of the cost of production, the difference or increase in farm wage rate since the base period of 1909-14. That is to say, during the base period the average farm wage without board wag $1.42 per day. On January 1. 1943, as reported by the Bureau of Agricultural] Economics in the De- partment of Agriculture, the avers agé farm wage, without board, was 182.83 per day.
