Seven men, 3 boys, and 9 horses put up 25 tons (12.5 acres) per day. Yield, 2 tons per acre. Man-hours 
3.66, horse-hours 3.50 per ton. Labor cost, $1.02 per ton. Three wagons are used in hauling with 2 boys 
driving. One boy drives team on hay rope. 
Method 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.
