Longer Rows Farm readers will be interested in the following figures from The Progressive Farmer, showing the saving in labor brought about by having longer rows: 1. A"20-acre field can be plowed in 60 per cent of the time required to plow the same area in one-acre fields, or 80 per cent of the time required to plow the same area in five-acre fields. 2. Where the rows are 500 yards long, a farmer can cultivate 25 acres in the. same length of time required to cultivate 20 acres where the rows are 100 yards long. 3. Not only is time saved as in dicated, but b'y having less turning the percentage of crop damaged in turning is reduced. All Priced at Big J P jf V Following is. the honor roM of ballast here.
