In Georgia, the average wages of full hands, men, iu addition to ra tions, are 88,31 per month, and 44 cents per day. The average number of bales of cotton made per mule on the wages system is 4 4-10, oh the share system 3 5-10. Of the farm la borers employed this year 32 per cent, were employed on the wages i system. 42 per cent on sV.ares. aivd 26 per cent, as renters. The wages system was most satisfactory to 69 per cent, of these farmers whose re plies were obtained, the share system to 13 per cent., and the rental sys tem to 28 per cent. Of the laborers the wtiges system was most satisfac tory to 60 er cent., the share system to 20 per cent., and the rental sys tem to 20 per cent. Stock can ho raised most successfully under the wages system, according to the opin ion of 88 per cent, of those consult ed. The average per cent, of farm, labor employed iu making and re pairing fences is 6 7-10 per cent. The percentage of those in favor of enclosing stock, instead of crops is 62 per cent.
