 A man owned a small farm in West Texas.  The Wage and Hour Department of
Texas claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent
to interview him.

> "Well,there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years.  I pay him
$600 a week plus free room and board.  The cook has been here for 18 months,
and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board.  Then there's the
half-wit that works about 18 hours a day.  He makes $10 a week and I buy him
chewing tobacco," replied the farmer.
