STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 

 Number Employed in each Trucking District. 



The following table shows the average wages, without board, paid men, 

 women, and children in the various districts; also the piece price paid for 

 harvesting a few of the leading vegetables, returns received on this latter 

 point being somewhat meager. Final reports may show a slight variation 

 from these figures. Very little piece work is done except at the south. 



Average Wages Paid in each Trucking District. 



The figures in the following table are based upon special reports 

 received from leading truck farmers in the various districts. Wages are 

 somewhat higher in Florida than in other southern states, thus advancing 

 the average for the south Atlantic district considerably above the other 

 districts employing negro labor.
