help is of course not equal to the demand. Wages average 

 about $18 per month with board, and from $30 to $36 per 

 month without board. Wages for day work range from 

 $1.25 to $1.50 per day, in accordance with the locality and 

 season. There are some few reports of higher wages, but 

 not enough to affect the general average. 



Acreage of Farm Crops. 

 There will be no marked changes in the acreage of farm 

 crops, although the acreage of corn and tobacco will be 

 slightly increased. A few reports indicate a decrease in the 

 acreage of potatoes, but not enough were received to base a 

 general statement on. The only strictly new enterprise 

 reported was the establishment of two hop farms on Martha's 

 Vineyard.
