AGRICULTURAL WAGES 



837 



Allowing for the unpaid labor of members of the farmer's family, 

 and assuming that the representative farmer would secure a labor 

 return half-way between the two extremes mentioned above, the 

 average wages of the American farmer would be about $200 in cash 



and $400 in things supplied by the farm $600, as compared with 

 $460, for the average factory worker and $1,200 for the average 

 salaried employe. These comparisons are shown graphically in the 

 accompanying diagram. EDITOR.
