hoed. The land in this section is extremely good grass land, and the 

 grass will grow as well in a cornfield as elsewhere unless measures are 

 taken to keep it out. The time required to perform the various operations 

 was similar in the Orleans and Ontario areas. More man hours per acre 

 were required in the Livingston area because of the hoeing. Other opera- 

 tions were performed in less time in the Livingston area than in the other 

 areas because of the larger acreages grown per farm. The hours required 

 to harvest an acre and a ton of corn, and the cost per ton, are given in 

 table 82 :
