Higher Paj For Farm Labor.
The present high prices of
nearly all staple farm crops are
unrivaled in the history of Amer
ican agriculture. The situation
justifies the intensity of produc
tion methods which involves in
arge part better preparation of
seedbed and more thorough till
age of crops. This calls for more
abor. How is it to be secured?
How is the available farm labor
to be utilized to the best advantage.
Prof. F. D. Gardner, of the
ennsylvania State College school
of agriculture and experiment
station said:
"It is likely that farmers will be
justified in paying better wages
than ever before, in fact many of
them will be forced to do so in
order to keep the labor from
turning to other occupations.
o do this without reducing pro
fits, farmers should distinguish
between productive and unpro
ductive work.
'Unproductive work, which in
a long term of years is necessary
in order to maintain the appear
ance of the farm, may tempor
arily be abandoned and all hands
kept busy on enterprises as pro
ductive as possible. Work appli
ed directly to the production of
crops, animals and animal' pro
ducts is productive. Work applied
to the repair of buildings, the
construction of fences and the
trimming of roadsides is unpro
ductive and if large numbers of
men are called to arms in the
present crisis, may be temporari-
y omitted.
"Work should be carefully
planned so that there will at all
times be work for the regular
employees. This means a crop
ping system with areas of each
crop so adjusted that labor will
be evenly distributed throughout
the season. It means also that
work should be provided inside
or rainy days. Under this head
might Delisted mixing fertilizers,
prepairing seeds for planting,
oiling harness and ' machinery,
making crates for shipping fruit,
doing repair work, cleaning sta
bles and buildings, or other mis
cellaneous items that the farmer
should be ready to handle imme
diately when out-door work is
temporarily at a standstill.
"Work kept up-to-date saves
abor. It requires much more
time and effort to clean a weedy
field than to keep if free of weeds
by timely cultivation. Crops not
harvested on time generally en
tail a loss and reduction in quality.
