Even down to our own times, we find it was quite common for farmers to employ men to an extreme old age rather than that they should go to the workhouse, and labour was considered to have a certain claim on the land for employment. It cannot, how- ever, be said that the recognition of this claim was of advantage to labour, if we Agricultural Wages 107 axe to judge by the general level of earnings. In recent years wages in agriculture have risen in spite of the falling off of profits and rents c...onsequent on the fall in prices. And the rise in wages can only be ascribed to the check to the supply^ by the greater migration to the towns, and the cessation of the social causes which formerly induced the surplus to remain in the country. Although, as just pointed out, in many cases the farmers kept up a surplus supply of labour, in some cases the landlords refused to keep up the cottages on the farms, aod in order to avoid the rates, forced the labour to go to some parish where these restrictions in building were not in use — the open villages, as they were called.
