The increases for these various operations, as reported from Washington, range from fifty cents to $150 per acre for this district. The has Department of Agriculture promised an early announcerates. ment of harvesting The minimum rates for District 8, including Utah, Idaho and Oregon, are as follows: Slocking and thinning. $9.50 an acre or 43 cents an hour, as compared with $8.00 an acre or 40 cents an hour last year; first hoeing. $2 50 an acre or 40 cent an hour, as compared with 2 00 an acre or 35 cents an hour last year: each subsequent hoeing or weeding. $1.50 an acre or 40 cents an hour, as compared with Sl.oo an acre or 35 cents an hour in 1911. The Department of Agriculture said these wage increases were due chiefly to higher sugar prices, higher government payments, increases in general agricultural wages and increased costs of living. According to W. A. Budge, district manager of the Amalgamated Sugar company, the increases are about in line with those expected by beet growers. The announcement of the schedule at this time is expected to stimulate contracting for sugar beet acreage in this district. Those moderate increases in labor costs will be more than offset. it is believed, by the better prices for beets under the 1942 contract, which is generally expected to bring close to $10 a ton for beets in this territory, based on present sugar prices. d. vi Through February 14. 1942, the Commodity Credit Corporloans on ation made 514,225 855,698,484 bushels of 1941 wheat.
