crop season; thus, if 12 horses are
used in 3 groups of 4 each in spring
all hitches should be arranged so that
the horses can be used in 3 groups
of 4 each.
One man found that a 20 mule
team [Milling six 14 inch bottoms can
plow an average of 18 acres a day;
that three 12 inch weeders hitched
to a 20 mule team can cover from
40 to 65 acres per day; a 20 foot cut
horse or mule drawn combine will
cut, thresh and sack on the average
40 to 50 acres of small grain per
day. Fourteen horses pull 6 disc
plows with drag harrows behind and
enable one man to plow and harrow
abo,ut 10 acres per day.
Cutting the overhead by effective
use of every bit of man and horse
power, by producing as large a vol
ume as possible per unit of energy
expended is the most effective way to
establish low cost production. The
methods described are applicable to
other western states or wherever
more^han 8 horses or mules are used
