The table also clearly shows that the number of year hands and 
crop-season hands (labor hired for the entire summer at month 
wages) resident on the farms during the harvest was small. This 
was particularly true in Oklahoma and Kansas. Five hundred and 
forty-four farms in the Dakotas had approximately four times as 
many month hands working in the harvests in proportion to acreage 
harvested as were found on 468 farms in the sokehans States. But 
even in the Dakotas the month hands constituted less than a fourth 
of the harvest labor force. If the eastern section of Kansas and a
