TWELVE HOURS
To GROW AN
ACREOF WHEAT

1t has been found that even with
good management on the part Of the
farm owners and tenants, with good
horses, with tractors of proven efici-
ency and with the aid of labor saving
machinery, that II hours of human
labor are required to grow an acre of
wheat. An hour or two more than
this is needed to grow an acre Of oats;
while corn requires at least 25 hours
and this where fields are large and
topography Of the land such as to
make possible maximum use of mach
inery. Where fields are small-say
from to 10 acres-it takes as high
as so hours to care for the crop from
blowing through to harvest. Now if
the quantity Of these crops is secured
by increasing the acreage it means
first and foremost more labor
this labor canot be found. Secondly
increased acreage may mean longer
hours-and experience in the British
munition factories as well as in our
American factories has shown that
long hours do not pay. If, however,
every hour spent in growing these
great staples be put in on fertilized
land, on land where plant food lack
does not limit the crop-then our pres
ent labor supply will be abundantly
for the larger crops needed. |
Every hour of available labor will |
produce greater returns. The total |
farm yiaii can be increased without
hiring any extra hired men.
