can DO as much on the farm as three
men did ten years ago. The stimulus
q good prices and of nice profits in
farming has helped also.
according TO the summaries issued
~ the Iowa weather and crop service
the field crops for 1914 were worth more
than twice those OF 1900. The Iowa
bureau did not attempt to make q sum-
mary Of the 1915 yield due to the fact
that not all OF the figures were at hand
from which to make the estimate. The
government, however, figured that
Icwas 1915 crops were about IL per
cent less in value than those of 1914
when the field crops were estimated by
DR.. Chapel, director of the Iowa
weather and crop service to be worth
Ns5.7s3,419. In 1900 the field crops Of
the state were only worth $229,SO5, 05S.
Iowa has q larger acreage under cul-
tfvation now than ever before in her
history. Swamps and low places have
been tiled out in recent years, bayous
hAve been drained and in many in
stances the courses Of rivers have been
changed to increase the farm area.
Brush has been cleared andtimber cut
off and turnout the state generally
there has been utilization of the farm
acreage for crops in the past several
years which has increased the acreage
over that Of ten or even five years ago.
Hut with improved machinery not so
many men are required to cultivate the
state and raise even the same amount
OF crops as was required ten years ago.
Hence farm workers have gone into the
cities in greater numbers than they
otherwise would, for in many Iowa To-
icalties there il not the demand for
