increased by additional men, two men and two horses adding only 
half an acre, or about 15 per cent to the amount done daily. Two 
additional men and an extra team are used more frequently, however, 
than are smaller numbers, these being sufficient when properly 
directed to keep the transplanter constantly at work.

Table XXVI shows the average number of loads and tons of cab- 
bage that can be harvested daily and unloaded on the farm. The 
smaller crews are most frequently used. The larger crews do not 
accomplish results in proportion to their size. Two men and two 
horses and four men and four horses are the most efficient per man 
and per horse.

Where the cabbage is hauled directly from the field to market, the 
number of loads that can be handled daily with the respective crews 
is as shown in Table XXVII. On account of its great weight and 
bulk, cabbage is not grown to any considerable extent on farms over 
5 or 6 miles from market, the greater part of this crop being produced 
on farms that are from 2 to 4 miles from shipping point.
