even before it is planted. This bed ding" as il is sometimes called. can be done with the mule much better son for all this is long story and We shall not go into 1t here.
 In rice farming the tractor can be used for at least three general opera tions: blowing, narrowing or disking. and, in some cases, hauling binders for cutting. It is more adaptable to rice farming than to either of the others.
 ?. On q 20O-aCre sugar farm. ordinar- fly 20 mules would be used: on q cot ton farm of the same size ten mules {: and on a rice farm of this size about eight mules.
 The writer doubts very seriously if a tractor would replace even a single mule on the cotton and cane planta- tionS. but on the rice farm of 20 acres possibly four mules could be replaced some seasons. Even in this case. how ever it would not be at all safe to de pend upon the use of the tractor for the cutting of the rice, because 1t is by no means always possible to run a tractor over the land when rice Is har- vested. It is sometimes impossible to use q binder. and the planter has to resort to the old hand sickle.
 3. For cotton and cane work two of the prime prerequisites are short turning radius and general ease of handling. Otherwise. the type makes no particular difference unless 1t is de- sired to use the tractor for cultivating the growing crop. For rice work the endless apron or caterpillar type might be used some seasons where tine round wheel type could not be used.
