The April farm labor supply in the state stands at 81 percent of normal while demand hits 8 percent of normal. The 81 percent supply marks the lowest since October 1935, and April demand is the highest since 1930. Causes include late seeding from rains, selective service mobilization, defense labor shifts, and good crop prospects. Wages rose to an average of 83 dollars monthly with board, or 45.75 without, and daily rates of 1.50 with board and 2.10 without.
