A H U N D R ED ACRES A DAY
They plow a hundred acre« '»
day now, th a t is, a day and night:
g re a t b rig h tly painted, d u st cover
ed behem oths, like arm y tan k s go
ch arg in g over the land d ra g g in g
long strin g s of ‘ plows behind
them . A hundred acres a day.
Tim e w a s/ not too fa r d istan t,
when they plowed w ith six horse
team s— little w iry horses w ith
bushy m anes and tails and the
habit of bucking the harness off
when it ra ttle d — and five acres a
nay wao considered enough for any
m an or any team .
Ar.d S atu rd ay n ight or Sunday
the whole crew w ent to tow n, the
Less and his w ife occupying the
seat of the hack and the children
and the hired men filling the back.
The b arber shop was full of a n i
m ated hum anity, the saloon re
sounded to joke and song and the
store clerks w ere busy un til all
hours.
In the still dark or the b rig h t
sp t.n g afternoon they cam e back
again to the ranch to feed the
stock and change the plow shares
and th ere was candy for the lit-
tle st ones and a fresh supply of
tobacco for the men.
Now the men who tu rn over fifty
acres a sh ift a re lonesome men.
They sit alone ten hours, twelve
hours, liste n in g to the ra ttle of the
m otor: they g ra b th eir lunch a t
noon or m idnight between g e a r
sh ifts and have com m unication
with neither man or beast in th eir
work.
F arm women used to cook home
grown food fo r a table full of
dusty team sters and it took the
full day; now ,they serve fine fa re
to a f e w mechanics and never m iss
a bridge game.
But where is Bud who used to
g et his team out first every m o rn
ing, keep them fa t, and never have
a sore shouldered horse; o r Joe
who alw ays had a song and who
had so much fbn S atu rd ay nights
or Pete who was saving his money
to m arry the girl over on the
ridge ? W hat do they do to earn
tb° firfcad they m u st e a t?
One rfian now raises m any tim es
the bushels of w h eat he did in
those days. T here is m ore efficien
cy, more work p er m an, leas
used fo r feed for an im als o th er
than man. B ut no one is happier
an d there is no life about twa
' town.
