Farmers' bulletin (United States. Dept. of Agriculture); no. 816

"Few farmers realize the extent of their investment in small items of equipment or the time and inconvenience involved in buying them singly or in small lots. In planning the farm equipment due consideration should be given to the necessary outlay for these minor tools. If possible they should be purchased all on one order. This will save time and, usually, money. Also, it will entail a total expenditure sufficiently large to impress the farmer with the importance of giving systematic care to his small tools. It is shown in this bulletin that for a general farm of 160 acres in the Middle Western States, the necessary minor tools, ranging from a husking peg to a grindstone, will cost from $100 up to the neighborhood of $200." -- p. 2. The bulletin is primarily a list of tools, recommended quantities, and average prices
