More Work With Fewer Hands In Wartime Farming
The piece argues that wartime conditions strain farm labor and criticizes overconfident advice to increase production. It notes many farmers already work hard, drafts pull farmboys into military service, and a general plan is needed to replace labor with competent workers or face years of reduced output. It also discusses crib ventilators to remove excess moisture from soft corn and various ventilation methods.
