An exchange notes the reap ing machine’s impact since 1850 with rising farm population, higher wages, and more skilled labor. In 1850 the twelve state farming workforce numbered 1,301,863. in 1870 it grew to 2,641,830. Wages for farm hands rose from 8 dollars per month or 80 cents to 1.50 daily for harvest hands to 30 dollars monthly and 2 to 3.50 daily by 1870.
