FRANCE FINDS 1T NECESSARY

FOR HUMAN LABOR
(By Associated Pyesso


PARIS, July 1.-THE latest types
of traction and motor farm nipple
ments experimental with at Gournay
sur Marne under the direction of a
representative of the Academy of
Agriculture reduced the cost of plow-
ing land more than twenty-five per
cent in comparison with the best
previous records.
Two and half acres were plowed
in light soil with an outlay of ten
gallons of gasoline in four hours;
between thirteen and fourteen gal
Ions were required for the same work
with the most efficient machines
tested last fall. In heavy soil the
difference in favor of the new nipple
ments was about the same.
The wear of the machines tried
was considerable on account of diff
culties of fabrication in flying dust
but the results we're so favorable
in comparison with animal power
that the verdict is favorable to mo-
tor implements.
The academy proposes the organi-
cation of training schools for con-
ductors of traction and motor nipple
ments at once. since these machines
must be relied upon to make up for
the shortage in men and horses for
fall seeding.
