A report giving the experience Of
several hundred farmers in the use
Of tractors has just been published
by Secretary Houston, Of the Depart
fent of Agriculture. The report
gives the advantages Of the farm
tractor on three main points:
The first is "the ability Of the trac-
tor to do the heavy work and to do it
quickly, thus covering the desired
acreage within the proper season" }"
This the Department considers the
principal advantage "The saving
of man-labor and the doing away
with hired help" is placed next.
1.-THE ability to plow to good depth,
especially in hot weather." is placed
third.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-07-18

ference with government authorities
in Washington. "The vast majority of
these were the light and inexpensive
tractors. Those tractors are light
enough to spare bridges and culverts.
They will not pack tho well-tilled
land, and yet they are powerful
enough to plow to a depth of eight
or nine inches. The tractor turns up
practically virgin soil, thus enabling
the American farmer to increase his
output, equaling the production OBJ
tanned by the European farmer
through the use of enormous guam
titles Of fertilizer"

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-07-18

Other advantages mentioned in the
report are the economy Of operation,
the displacement of horses, and the
ability to use the tractor day and
night. The report favors the smaller
and less expensive tractor over the
larger tractor. Smaller tractors,
such as the Buckeye Junior, Of
Anderson, Ind, are recommended for
farms of two hundred crop acres or
less. The experts say they can be
operated proftably on farms up to
450 crop acres.

"More than 10000 tractors were in
use last year." says G. B. Louder

STOCK BOON GREETS
REPLY OF AUSTRIA
Sales Near Million and Prices
Average Best of the Year.

Wall Street gave an enthusiastic re-
ception yesterday to the favorable
character Of the Austrian reply to the
Ancona note outlined I'm dispatches
from London. 1t was almost another
million-share day, with stocks in &C
tive demand during the entire session
with the exception OF short intervals
Of profit taking
The opening prices showed evidence
not only Of covering by shorts, who had
sold in the belief that a break with
Austria was imminent, but the orders
that flooded commission houses indi-
Gated a renewed public interest In the
market, something that has been alb
sent for several weeks. Steel's open
ing was 10000 shares from SO to S91a
marking an overnight gain Of two
POINTS and duplicating the high price
Of the year.
Other stocks that were noteworthy
for their strength included st. Paul
and Milwaukee, for which new high
records for the year were reached. The
average OF the general list was higher
than on any previous occasion during
1915.
With the Austrian difficulty out Of
the way, traders predicted that the
market for 1916 would surpass even
the bull days OF 1905 and 1906, when
there was delirium of bullish enthu-
siasm.
