Farm News
(By G. W. BONNETTE,
County Agent.)
In Napoleon’s time it took 19
farm workers to supply food for
each person living away from the
the farm. Today one farm worker
is making enough food for 4 per
sons living away from the farm.
Early in the last century, it took
64 hours to produce one acre of
wheat. Today we can do the job
in 2 1-2 hours. This is another
way of saying that agriculture is
progressing and that surplus la
bor can be used in industries of
various sorts.

Coach Ozzie Cowles of the U. of
Michigan basketball team says that
he would rather face the best pro

matched against the best college
teams," he declares.

claims, Servicemen’s
Readjustment Allowance claims,
and oth^r services. Each office

in non-manufacurting establish

expected to offset these gains.

was estimated to be 41,560. This
figure includes farm workers
registered at Employment Service
offices for temporary work during
the slack farming season. In all
29,508 active applications for work
