Topping rates, as set by the board, were based on the tonnage harvested harv-ested per acre. They were as follows: fol-lows: seven to eight tons to the ac e, $1.07 per short ton; eight to nine tons, $1.03; nine to ten, $1; 10 to 11, 97 cents; 11 to 12, 95 cents; between 12 and 13, 93 cents; from 13 to 14, 92 cents; from 14 to 15, 91 cents; from 15 to 16, 90 cents. For yields of between 16 and 17 tons, the rate was 89 cents; between be-tween 17 and 19. 88 cents; and for 19 tons per acre or ever, 88 cents. Officials suggest that a new wage scale for the 1938 crop will be established es-tablished later this season, a recent Associated Press news dispatch from Wahington, D. C, reported. |
