View - lead to the conclusion that the same high yields can be secured 

 in many sections of this country, provided the same care is 

 given to the selection of the variety and the seed and to the 

 tillage of the soil. In this connection, however, the produc- 

 tion per man as well as the production per acre must be taken 

 into consideration. It is estimated that in the United States 

 9.3 acres of crops are grown per capita of farm population, as 

 compared, for instance, with 2.4 acres in the United Kingdom, 

 and higher yields per acre in the latter country may therefore 

 be expected. The problem before the wheat grower in the 

 United States is the economical increase in production, and 

 economic conditions must determine not only its feasibility 

 but also whether larger returns are to be obtained from each 

 acre or each worker, or from both.
