PAY FOR FARM LABOR IS BELOW 1927 SCALE National Survey Shows Decrease Toward Pre-War Average. By Times Special WASHINGTON, July 16.—Wages of all classes of farm labor are below wages a year ago, the index of the general level of farm wages on July 1 this year being placed at 170 per cent of the pre-war level as compared with 172 per cent in July last year by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The lower level of farm wages, says the bureau probably is due to large simply of farm labor available this year. Supply expressed as per cent of demand is 105 for July 1 as compared with 100 a year ago. The larger supply in turn, the bureau adds, probably is explained by the much lower volume of industrial employment prevailing during the first six months of 1928, releasing more labor for farms.
