Crop Improvement
Farm science Il twenty-five years In
advance Of its practical
application.
TRACTOR CAVES LABOR.
Use Of Animals and Machinery In
Growing Crops Machinery
Cheaper In the Lons Run.
BY Raymond oIney N. Rumsly Co.

National Crop Improvement servioe.l
One OF the most disagreeaDle OBJ
structlons in the path OF a farmers
happiness Is the hired help problem.
In the present day and age II is
difficult matter to secuVe good, effi-
cient farm laborers. And this state
Of affairs is growing worse instead OF
better. It places the farmer In most
disadyantageous position.
This condition, however, Is being
improved to a constantly increasing
degree BIZ the introduction OF the
farm tractor. one OF the most I'M
portant advantages OF the use Of trac-
don power for farm work is that II
saves labor This is due to the fact
that one mands able TO control more
power An engine that will do the
work of fifteen horses, or one that VIII
do as much as thirty horses. can be
driven by one man as easily as he can
drive a two-horse team. II would take
from three to FIVE men to handle fif-
teen horses, and from SIX 70 ten men
10 handle thirty Is this not evidence
enough Of the economy OF the tractor?
Feeding Horses.
n Is doubtful ifmany farmers ever
stop 10 consider tho amount OF labor
required for feeding and caring for
horses. According 10 Hgures Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. an average Of n minutes per
day Is spent on each horse the year
round For fifteen horses this would
amount to G.75 hours. During the
working season, however even more
time would have 20 be spent In caring
for them
Aside from repairs, a 10 h p. tractor
can be kept In firHtclass operating
condition on one-thlrd this amount OF
time per day And then, too the
tractor is used only 100 to 200 days
per year. During the rest OF the 1856
days It requires no attention. The.
saving In labor In this connection due
to the tractor is self-evident.
The tractor shortens the farmers
working day, by doing away with the
monotonous chores before daylight
and after dark.
Farmer Benefited.
Not only the farmer Is benefited by
the tractor, II also relieves his wife
OF the drudgery Of preparing meals
and caring for a gang Of hired hands.
In spite Of the fact that the gen
eral purpose farm tractor is a com
paratlyely now thing, ita popularity
Oh source OF farm power is increas-
ing very rapidly. Farmers are find
ing that It is a practicable and profit
able proposition. It IL especially
adapted to the needs OF the grain
growing sections.
