TRACTOR TO DRAW HIS
BINDER IN THE MUD

Some farmers have resorted to the
0ld-fashi0ued cradle to harvest grain
in exceptionally wet ground. Others
have employed more advanced devices.
Louis Blaul, who conducts a farm on
duscatine island, found new way to
draw his binder through q sea of mud.
As a result Of the heavy rains of the
early summer the fields on a part Of
the island have been flooded to the
extent that it was impossible TO place
horses in the grain fields as both
horses and wheels became mired. This
did not daunt Mr. BIaul for he found a
way around the difficulty.
Having a large caterpillar tractor
he built z wooden slide large enough
TO set the binder on, and in this man
ner pulled the binder, which was OPP
Grated by a small gasoline engine
through the fields. The slide was wide
enough to prevent it from sinking into
the ground, and as the wheels Of the
tractor are more than two feet wide,
the tractor did not become mired. This
method was almost as quick as cutting
the grain by horses, although some
grain was pushed down and destroyed
by the heavy wheels Of the tractor.
