Seven men,3 boys, and 9 horses put up 25 tons (12.5 acres) per day. Yield,2tonsperacre. Man-hours 
3.66, horse-hours 3.50 per ton. Labor cost, 31.02 per ton. Three wagons are used in hauling with 2 boys 
driving. One boy drives team on hay rope. 
- Mertuop 19. 
This crew is the same as No. 18 would be if composed entirely of 
men, except that an additional man and team work in the forenoon. 
With a yield of 2 tons per acre, but one mower mowing all day would 
be required, but with a yield of only 1.5 tons per acre it is necessary 
to use the second mower half a day in order to get enough hay (25 
tons) cut to keep the hauling and barn crew busy. The use of 3 
boys in place of men would reduce the cost 10 cents per ton.
