NoTE.—The labor cost rates for 1922 and 1923 are those paid hired labor or allowed for unpaid labor as jetermined by field investigation. The wages for 1921 were determined by adjusting the 1922 rates on the basis of the percentage change in monthly wages (without board) paid to farm laborers. For example, according to available wage data the average monthly farm wages in Michigan (without board) were 6 per cent higher in 1921 than in 1922; the 1921 labor cost was therefore obtained by adding 6 per cent to the 1922 cost established in this investigation.
