said that growers of vegetables,
fruit and other crops that are de
livered to canning, processing or
refining establishments within the
State, have the same obligation un
der this law not to hire children
under 16 during school hours, as
have -hose farmers whose pro
ducts move directly out of the
State, if the resulting canned, pro
cessed or refined goods move in
interstate commerce.
"During fiscal 1956, Wage-Hour

"That meaps 4,285 1 specific viola

children were only 10 to 13 years
of age and about a third of them

children under 10 years of age
working in the fields.
'Violators face the possibility of
having interstate shipment of their
products halted by a Federal court
order. Such' an order could apply
not only to the growers' raw pro
ducts but also to the canneries, or
processors or refiners that bought
them, or to the out-of-State buyer
who planned to ship them in their new law.

criminal penalties also for Wilful
violators. . . '
"Farmers, can easily stay withir
the law by having an unexpired
age certificate showing the young
boy or girl they hire to be at least

For the first time in mone'than
a decade, farmers' aggregate debts
are on a par with their cash assets,
according to figures compiled by
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. Both totals are at hew high
levels, but debts have shown the
greater rate of growth of the two
in recent years, in common with
the tred in the rest , of the econo.

The Department of Agriculture
estimates that farmers owed -an
aggregate of $20.7 billions at the
beginning of this year in mort
gage and non-real estate debt, in

Some Past Comparisons
Thus, when -1967 got Underway,
farmers had about 99 cents in "cash
for every dollar of debt, Relation
ships this low have not been seen
since the early Forties. Back-in
1950, for example, farmers had
more than $1.40 in cash for 'its
equivalent yfor, every dollar they
owed. The proportion was 'even
higher at' the 'end of World War
II, reflecting wartime prosperity
which enabled farmers 'o save
more than ever before during the
period and at' the'.sameime' 'td
reduce ' their debts to the 1 lowest
levels in years. 1 ' ' ' ' '
. However, -the present relation
ship between financial assets and
debts is still 'far. better than it
was in 1940, wherf farmers in 'the
aggregate had ,'onjy . 50 cents in
cash ,or its equivalent for every
dollar they owed. Furthermore,
other savings and assets "in -agri
culture, have increased1 greatly in
recent years. :: Right now,' for in
stance, three out of every four
farm families own life insurance.
Then, too, total agricultural assets
including-the farm plant,! are esti
mated at $176 billions flf nt the
first of tln year, up "some $40 bil-
