More and better machines continue to replace labor and boost production Today we have more than four ti mes as many cornpickers on farms as in 1945, more than 14 times as many forage harvesters, and more than 15 times as many pickup bal ers. Heavier applications and more widespread use of tilizers helped greatly to in crease crop yield, giving larger output on fewer acres with less labor. Potash use is now three times more than m 1945, and nitrogen use mere than five times that of 15 years ago. More general use of pesti cides has cut production los ses A wide variety of pro ducts and services, many- of them unknown a few years ago, are now in common use on U. S. farms.
