Requirements For
Child Farm Labor
Are Pointed Out
9t%te Labor Commissioner
Frank Crane reminds Tar He#l
farmers and commercial growers
who are hiring workers %■
spring planting and harvesting
ttiit Federal law prohibits chil
dren under 16 years of age from
working on farms during school
hours. * .. r- -.
Commissioner Crane said that
under the Federal Wage and
Hour Law (Fair Labor Stand
ards Act), children of any age
may do farm work before or
after school hours, on week-raids
or bn holidays.
Crane also stated that farm
children working exclusively for
their parents or guardians are
exempt from the Federal child
labor requirements.
"The child labor provisions
apply equally to local children
and to migrants,” Commissioner
Crane added. "However, mi
grant children under 16 may be
employed in the spring if the
school they last attended is
closed for the summer,- even
though schools may still be open
in the area where they have
moved to work.”
Crane said the fanner may
best protect himself from unin
tentional violation of the Fed
eral law by requiring from each
young person he employs dur
ing school hours an age cer
tificate showing he is at least
16. These certificates, which
serve as proof of age under the
law, may be obtaine. dfrom su
perintendents of public welfare.
Additional information about
the application of the federal
child labor law to children
working on farms may be ob
tained from the Wage-Hour of
fice in the N. C. Department of
Labor at Raleigh.
The Federal statute is admin
istered in North Carolina by
the State Department of Labor,
under a cooperative agreement
between the State and the Wage
and Hour Division of the Unitdd

most four times as fast as
that of industry during the

This saving is equal to more
