The average gross income from r
farm of one hundred and fifty acres
will be something over $1,000. and to
produce that income between 1000 and
5000 hours of productive labor are re-
auired. This makes the average pro-
ductiye labor hour worth about 40 cents.
To make every one Of those 10 cen
hours productive of its share of profit
it 10 necessary to reduce non-produc
tive labor to the minimum, and in farm
ing as in manufacturing it has been
found that the beat way to do this is 10
use labor saving machinery. The
small electric light and power plants
now in use on SO many farms accom-
plish loI of this labor saving. In
stead of spending bours pumping and
