Eight men and 10 horses put up 14 tons (14 acres) perday. Yield,1tonperacre. Man-hours 4.28, team- 
hours 2.80 per ton. Labor cost, per ton, $1.416. 
MerHop 18. 
This method is given in order to show the advantage of using boys 
to fill out a crew. Two teams are used to haul from field. Two men 
build the load and one man sticks the fork at the barn. Thus, the 
third person on the wagon has nothing to do but drive. Boys can 
do this just as well as men, and they cost only half as much. With 
this method a crew of 7 men and 3 boys will put up hay for $1.02 per 
ton, while the cost of a crew of 10, all men, will increase the cost per 
ton by 12 cents, making the total cost $1.14 per ton. It is often 
possible to hire town boys for the easy work of driving the team on 
loads as well as for hoisting hay.
