Would-Be Farm Hand Demands High Wages Spark Hiring Debate
In Town Falls, March 29, reports say men seeking farm work in the area ask 50 to 65 dollars monthly plus meals, room, and laundry. Farmers say such rates are too high, noting no one has yet paid that much for transient labor. At 65 dollars monthly plus extras, total costs approach 12 35 per month, complicating recruitment as spring farming increases demand. Some workers from Minnesota report higher prices in their state.

Garden soil prep tips from National Garden Bureau
The National Garden Bureau advises gardeners to avoid heavy tilling and instead use shallow spading or a depth of about eight inches for most gardens. For light soils a fork may suffice, with organic matter and manure added if available, while deeper rooted crops like asparagus benefit from richer preparation. Mulching helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and light surface stirring after rains aids germination.
