To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But for the less in- dustrious their little piece of land offers no opportunity; they are content to live from hand to mouth on their bare wage of $.75 per day. Conditions among the second class, i. e. section and road hands who received $1.50 per day, are much the same. Those who work regularly and take advantage of the possibilities of their own land do well, while those who work only part of the year and make no attempt to supplement their income with gardens and poultry manage to "scrape al...ong" on an income of from $12 to $15 per month and allow their places to run down. R. M., for instance, who works regularly as a section hand, owns a place of four acres with garden and chickens worth about $400 and spends about $30 per month to support his family. L. S., on the other hand, does not work regularly, and while he makes a pre- tense at a garden, its production is small and he is compelled to buy the groceries and canned goods that he should raise. He spends, according to his own calculations, about $17 per month, or all that he makes.
