THE WAGES OF
FARM LABOR
A most exhaustive study of the wages
paid to farm labor in the United States
has been prepared by the Agricultural
Department, and bears eloquent testi
mony to the prosperous conditions that
havo prevailed in the farming com
munities during recent years. It is
well known that duriug certain brief
harvest seasons it has been impossible
to secure sufficient labor, aud occasion
ally newspaper despatches have told
of fabulous prices paid to men iu the
fields, while numerous devices are us
ed to divert men from other industries
or from the destinations originally
sought. These exceptional instances
are not significant, howver, and have
no economic value. The official re
port deals with definite facts (and eoiii
pariso's are made of permanent em
ployment in the agricultural sections.
As the returns embrace reports from
over 23,000 correspondents, then suit
ing information is of service.
The total number of farm laborers is
placed at 4.410,l)10,of whom more than
half are actual farmers aud members
of their families. The remaining 2,044,-
761 come properly under the head of
farm laborers, and the statistics of
wages deal with them alone. Of this
number there are included 222.000 fe
males, and the bulk of these are em
ployed on cotton plantation* Of the
members of farmers' families about
twice as many female laborers are re
corded, but here also it is mainly in
the Southern States that the women
and girls work iu the field. The lat
est average for the eutire country of
farm wages, without board is $22 14
monthly against $20.23 in 1899, and
still less in every earlier year since the
period of scarcity just after the Civil
War. The low point was $16.42 iu
1879. Wages of farm labor, with board,
averaged $16.40, against $14.0? iu 1899
and $10.43 in 1879. These figures ap
ply to cases of employment all the
year round, and the long period of
comparative inactivity in winter ac
counts iu part for Mie apparent low
wages as compared with other pur
suits. The hours of labor range from
about nine to thirteen, according to
the season. In harvest time, when ex
tra help is hired in great number, the
average help is hired in great number,
the average for the entire country is
$1.53 per day,against $1.37 in 1899 and
11.14 in 1895.8e5t figures of day wages
are reported for the spring wheat
States where the average rose to $2.67. i
Much that is of interest is brought '
out in some of the tables incidental to i
this subject. The percentage of farms '
deriving their principal income from I
hay aud grain are shown in compari- i
son with those depending oil live I
stock, cottou or dai ry products. Thus
while North Dakota derives 88.4 per
cent of its income from bay and grain i
and only 2.7 from dairy products, Ver
mont claims 50.5 per cent, from its
dairies and only 7.6 per ceDt from
hay and grain. Mis-issippi is mo 4
dependent upon cotton, with 73.9 per
ceDt. , and Wyoming shows the highest ;
percentage of live stock at 62.2 per i
cent. Nationality of farm laborers is !
also discussed in some detail, the I
Germans and Scandinavians showing '
up strongly as foreign home makers on
the farms, while to some extent Italians
and French Canadians are farming ac
cessions, the latter coming over the
border into New England. The ratio
of negro to white labor is shown in
detail for the Southern States,and the
high altitudes are not occupied by
negroes, even iu that section. Thus,
in Texas as a whole, the proportion is
one negro to 3.9 white, but in Com
anche oounty there are 23,000 whites
and no negroes. In many Northern
States the ratio is 1 to 1,000.

24 HOURS OF
SUSPENSE
(Continued from Page 1)
Catawissa. At Bloomsburg the bridge
moved fifteen inches on its pier, the
heavy iron girders snapping asunder
like so many matches under the enor
mous weight as the ice pressed upon
them. At Catawissa the bridge was mov
ed two feet but in its battle with the
ice it was again set firmly back upon the
piers. All the business portion of Cata
wissa is submerged, Water street pres
enting the appearance of a raging riv
er. In both towns boats were plying
backwards and forwards in many of
the principal streets. Moving was in
progress all day, here and there fam
ilies being taken out of the secoud
story windows. The river seoms the
great fact and reaches from mountain
to mountain, hidiug both the rail
road and canal. The bridge over
Catawissa creek at Catawissa was car
ried away.
Each day brings additional Informa
tion as to the condition of the river at
points above ns and the facts as learn
ed reveal a state of affairs which would
seem unparalleled iu the history of the
valley.
Beginning at the canal lock above
the Hospital for the Insane the bed of
the river taking in the entire width of
the stream is packed full of ice and
extends iu that condition not only to
Catawissa and Bloomsburg but to
points further up the stream. At Roar
ing creek from either side of the river
the sceue is one of imposing grandeur.
The ice iu huge irregular masses fre
quently 30 inches thick and towering
25 feet high seems to rest npon the
bottom of the channel, throwing the
flood oat ovei the farms on each side.
Ou the Cooper township side during
Sunday and Moudav a strong current
six feet deep was sweeping over the
farms of Prothonotary Thomas G.
Vincent, James Sliultz and the farm
of the Jesse Amtnermau estate. On
the opposite side of the river a similar
state of affairs existed, the water cov
ering the S. H. & W. tracks to the
depth of six feet and reaching as far
as the barn of Colonel Eckman.
Francis Hartman, Dallas Hummer,
John Flanagan and Harry Farley
drove to Catawissa yesterday and the
description which they give of the
river at that point indicates that there
is still much trouble in store for the
people iu the North Branch Valley.
While the water has fallen four feet
or more the entire river is full of ice
forming a jam ouly a trifle less impos
ing and formidable than what is view
ed at Roaring creek. The D. L. & W.
track between Catawissa and Rupert
along with the wagon road the canal
aud the trolley track are still under
water and covered with huge masses
of ice. Over all the farm land sub
merged even where the waters have
receded one sees nothing but grey
masses of ice which conceal every
thing .
The ice on the river at Oatawissa
' yesterday was frozen into a solid gorge
aud at several places people were walk
ing upon it. By using the ice iu this
way persons were able to reach the
wagon bridge which coold be safely
i crossed by pedestrians,
j The height of the river atCatawissa
I and Bloomsburg Sunday.it seeme, was
' somewhat exaggerated by the telephone
reports sent out from those places;
| nevertheless, a most conservative esti
; mate places the water at nearly a foot
; above the mark of 18t55, which up to
I that time was the highest water record-
I ed on the North Branch.
The description of the ice which is
; still to come down the river is not at
all reassuring to Danville, especially
in view of the ice jam which still ex
ists below town.

Improbable That Fruit is Frozen.
Reports from many Pennsylvania
towns indicate that nearly all of the
fruit buds were frozen daring the re
cent cold snaps. It is very unlikely
that fruit of any kind has suffered
damage yet from the cold.
The fruit buds are encased by na
ture iu coverings that are intended to
protect from cold and they seldom be
come damaged by intense cold. When
the buds are covered for a few days by
a coating of ice, they suffer and often
lose their vitality, but rather by suf
focation than by freezing and yet the
fruit grower speaks of the damage as
having been done by freezing.
There has been no weather this win
ter that should have done serious dam
age to peach or cherry buds aud they
are the ones that softer most readily.
A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Cal-cura Solvent, tha Graat Naw
Medlclna, Aftar Othar Traatmant Had Fallad.
Your Monay Back If It Doaa Not Cura.
Mr. Martin Montgomery, of Rilrara, Pa.,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y., writing to Dr.
David Kennedy, of Kennedy How, said :
"Y"ur w medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
.s wonderful. It cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
It is a record breaker and no mistake."
As in Mr. Montgomery'a case, rheuma
tism is often, indeed almost always, com.
plicated with kidney and liver trouble.
It is because Cal-cura Solvent acta on the
kidneys anil liver and at the same time ex
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
a reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. It cures by removing
th<' cause, therefore the cure is permaneut,
safe aud sure.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
liondout, N Y.; but auk your druggist first.
§I.OO a bottle. Only one aire.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money if Cal-cura faila to cure, and
The Ctil-cura Company will pay the drug

Liver disorders.

BOROUGH AND DIS
TRICT CONVENTIONS
The Democratic Borough and Dis
trict Conventions were held in the
Grand Jury 100111 Court House, last
night and were largely attended
The meeting was called to order by
County Chairman Simon Hoflmau.
The district convention was held first,
the organization being effected by
electing A. L. Brandt, Chairman, and
Thomas Lee and Edward Sainsbury
Secretaries.
P. M. Kerns, the present incumb
ent, unanimously supported at the
primaries, Friday night,was nominat
ed as candidate for Overseer of the
Poor for Danville and Mahoning Dis
trict.
The following delegates were pres
ent at the convention -. Danville, First.
Ward, Harry Ruppand William Start
zell; Second Ward, Edward Sainsbury
and Thomas Kerns; Third Ward, Wil
liam Robinault and Peter Welsh;
Fourth Ward, A. L. Brandt and Thom
as Lee ; Mahoning township, Charles
West.
The Borough Convention immcdiat
ely followed, the same officers acting
in both conventions. The Borough
this year has but one office to fill,that
of Auditor. The delegates from each
ward were uninstructed for auditor
and the convention had to ca>t about
for a candidate. The honor finally fell
011 John Schuster, ol the Third Ward
who was nominated for Borough Au
ditor.receiving the nuanimous support
of the convention.
"The Village Parson.''
"The Village Parson'' aims high
and aims true to its work. It certain
ly contains all the elements of success.
The piece is not only a well-told story
wherein human emotions and sympa
thies are strongly portrayed, hut the
play has a high moral tone,that should
commend it to the most sensitive
theatre goer. The play has been seal
ed with approval stampel upon it by
both press and public, and contains !
intense heart interest and the story is
good and pure, leaving a lasting and
favorable impression everywhere pres
ented.The mounting is new and beauti
ful, and is a picturesque production
away from the conventional, and
thoroughly refreshing throughout.
The company will be found a most
capable one in every respect,each mem
ber being especially selected for Ins or
her part.
"The Village Parson" will be seen
at the opera house on Wednesday even
ing next.
Plate Glass Broken,
During the high wind prevailing
about noon Sunday the trap door on
the City Hall was lifted from
its socket and blown to the ground. It
fell on the pavement opposite City
Hall and rebounding crashed into the
plate glass window of Harry Bern
heimer's store. A large section of the
glass was broken.
It is fortunate that no pedestrian 1
happened to be passing a' the spot
when the trap door struck the pave
ment.

A GOOD THING

MOVER BROS.
DKAK SlH:—
1 think that every man that has a
; team of horses or any stock, ought to
haveabottle of Mover's White Liniment
in the stable or his honse. I had a
horse that stepped in a hole with bis
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off. and in two hours hi*
neck was swollen to all the skin would
i hold. We used your JftThite Liniment
freely, and in a few dafs he was to work
again, and does not show any signs of
lameness. It worked like magic.
Respectfully yours,
J. A. jiARTHAST.
