The World of Wheat and the Crop Testing Plan
Government bonuses total 52 million dollars to wheat growers this crop year. Including 100 million from selling 200 million bushels of wheat, growers’ income reaches about 152 million, down from 234 million last year and far below 1913-14 costs. Prices are 25 percent lower while farmers’ costs are 50 percent higher, with exports reduced.
Wages Stabilization Order Details for Employers
The order covers building trades firms with ten or more workers and other private employers with fifty or more, excluding agriculture fishing hospitals and nonprofit religious charitable or educational bodies. It requires written wage rate approvals, allows deferral of cost of living increases, and imposes a rising wartime cost of living bonus starting November 15 1941 and February 15 1942 for eligible employees with quarterly adjustments. Administered by five regional boards under the National War Labour Board with employer and labor representation.
