Emil A. Hahn of Sartell Minnesota writes to the Grand Rapids Tribune arguing a $6.06 daily wage for cutting two cords of wood is fair, noting wood prices and farmer gains under recent market changes. He urges hiring by cord rather than by day and backs fuel administration policies, recounting historical price shifts and his own 12 to 15 years of ax work. He asserts timber land use increases value and ends by insisting a good price for a cord is fair.
