HARRY MATTHEW'S is another
occasional visitor at baseball
headquarters. He is taking life
easy this winter and waiting for a

Harry proved a big success on
the job in Rome and sprung some
methods which were unique.
For instance, one day a great big
pitcher who was working for Matty
came sinking into the club house
and said; Harry, l don't feel very
good today, l don't think III get in

National Crop Improvement Servtce-1
One Of the most disagreeable OBJ
structions In the path of q farmers
happiness is the hired help problem
In the present day and age 1t ID
difficult matter to secure good. efii'
cient farm laborers. And this state
OF affairs is growing worse instead OF
better. 1t places the farmer in most
disadva1tageous position.
This condition, however, Is being
improved to a constantly increasing
degree by the introduction OF the
farm tractor. One Of the most i'm.
portant advantages of the use OF trac-
tion power for farm work is that 1t
saves labor. This Is due to the fact
that one man is able to control more
power. An engine that will do the
work Of fifteen horses, or one that Will
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 ff-
teen horses, and from six to ten men
to handle thirty. Is this not evidence
enough of the economy OF the tractor?
Feeding Horses.
II Is doubtful If many farmers ever
stop to consider the amount OF labor
required for feeding and caring for
horses. According to figures OF the
United States Department of AgricuI
ture, an average of 27 minutes per
day Is spent on each horse the year
round For fifteen horses this would
amount to 6.75 hours. During the
working season, however, even more
time would have to be spent in caring
for them.
Aside from repairs, Is h. p. tractor
can be kept in firstclass operating
condition on one.third 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 365
days 1t requires no attention. The
saving in labor in this connection due
to the tractor Ia 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 refited BY
the tractor, 1t 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.
paratively new thing, its popularity
as a source of farm power is increas-
ing very rapidly. Farmers are find
ing that it is a practicable and profit
able proposition. 1t is especially
adapted to the needs Of the grain
growing sections.
