more farm hands than there ••
were at tills time a year ago, but
the pay is about the same.

I* bor, the bureau of agricultural
•• economics of the Agriculture de-
li partment explains in describing £
the situation. The pay has been
!' held steady by the relatively
high industrial wages.
The bureau reported the gen-
ii eral level of farm wages on
.. April 1 at 166 per cent of the
■** prewar plane, the same as on
April 1 last year. The demand
for farm hands was also re-
