The Use OF Big Teams In Farm
Work, as Animals Are Plen-
tiful; The Men are
Scarce
Lexington, Kentucky, June II. 1920
The scarcity Of labor means that
many acres will be idle this year un-
less farmers use larger power units
in cultivating and caring for the
necessary crops. II very often hap
pens that one man and four or five
mules can do two and one-half times
as much work as one man and two
mules. This is especially true in
preparing ground for crops where
narrowing and packing can be per-
formed in one operation with a lar
ger power unit such as five mules;
while just as much labor will he
required when using two mules and
IL will take two and one-half times
as long.

Damage to the crops from rice root
maggOts is reported from Acadia, Cal

of which seems to be the killing out

the stand and irregular ripening. In

in the fields in some localities and
barnyards grass or barnyard millet
is said to have "smothered" out rice
in spots in some sections.
As general thing previous to Aug.
