Show NEWS FOR THE FARMER. M. L. Wilson, agricultural ecconomist of the Montana experimental experi-mental station, quoted in a news item, states that two-thirds of Montana's Mon-tana's 1927 wheat crop was raised on tractor farms, of which there are now 7.000 in the state. Speaking of the improvement in efficiency effic-iency through use of the tractor he says: "Three years ago there were few farmers anywhere in the world who produced wheat with less than eight hours of man labor to the acre. Today many well organized, efficiently operated tractor wheat farms raise their crop with only two hours of man labor per acre." Here is valuable data for the wise farmer. |
