1/ In terms of acreage covered once 



The avorago time required to disk an acre tv/ioe to the rev; with a 

 tractor-dra\7n disk v/as 1.25 hours in Chautauqua Co., N.Y., 1.09 hours in 

 North East, Pa., and0f98 of an hour in ilrkansas. The cost varied from §1.49 

 per acre in Chautauqua County to $1.11 per acre in Arkansas, (table 47.) It 

 required 0.63 of an hour more in i\rkansas to 0.92 of an hour more in North 

 East, pa., and 1.03 hours moro in Chautauqua Co., N.Y^, to disk an acre with 

 horse-dravm than with tractor-drawn disks. In Chautauqua County and North 

 East, Pa., the cost of disking an acre twice to the row was more with horse- 

 dravm than with traotor-dra^vn disks, but in Arkansas the cost v/as less v/ith 

 horse-drawn than with tractor-drawn disks^ 



In the Hudson Valley vineyards, aliaost 3 hours were spent cultivating 

 to 1 hour disking and harrowing. These growers used 1-^hcrso cultivators and 

 more often v/ent 4 times to the row than 2 times to the row. Iji average of 6.3 

 hours v/ere reiiuired to cultivate an acre 4 times to the row at a cost for labor 

 and power of $5.01 per acre. The cost at 2 times to the row averaged $2.29
