Lower Cost Production Scctt says that while such meth- ds are not fully in use now, there sust be an accelerating trend foward their adoption since all ‘usiness activity is directed toward wer coct production — machines jiean fewer men lower costs. When it is considered Szob tury—there had been no gain b to the last century—has ocour- ed in the last 30 years, it can be péen . what future toward the rapid msion of better methods. A man with a spade in 1830 could till cnly one-eight acre of land in a 12-hour day. Other crude devices, the wooden plow for instance, bettered this speed somewhat. In 1855 with the advantages of the earlier till- ing machines, he could til between 12 and 15 acres a day. Today, with most modern ma- chinery and methods, he can till abcut 96 acres in an eight- hour day. It took him 5750 minutes cr 96 hours to till an.acre in 1930 with spades, and some- what less time with the, wood- en plow. It had taken him at least that long im all in- dustry up to about 1830. To- day, with the most. medern methods he can till an aere.in five minutes. If the wheat acreage .p. 1629 ad been tilled with . spades it would have required 4,900,000 men. Irne 1929 tillage actually required botween 75,000 and 100,000 men, but, had most efficient, methods been used, 4,000 men could bave ficne the job.
