 yard's share represented 68.6 percent of the total tillage cost. 



There was a vride variation among the areas in the kind of pcv/er used in 

 tillage work. Of the total hours of nan labor used in tillage work, over one 

 half in ilrkansas and 90 percent in the Hudson Valley represonted time spent 

 v/ith implements dra^^m by one horse or one mule, (table 36.) In the Chautauqua- 

 Erie area, about one fifth of the man labor spent in tilling vineyards repre- 

 sented work v/ith one horse. Practically all of the work with ono horse in this 

 area was ,"horse hoeing.*'
