as all day is the equivalent Of two
such tractors working ~ hours. The
average tractor owner Is in position
to render effective aid In the produc-
ton campaign by helping those of his
neighbors who may be behindhand
with their spring work. and in many
instances, no doubt. week of night
work by tractor will go far toward
solving the immediate labor prob
lem OF the neighborhood. At any
rate it is the obvious duty of the
tractor owner to do all the custom
work he can do this spring without
neglecting his own work.
1t should be forne in mind In this
connection that experience has shown
that in working exceptionally long
hours with tractors 1t is generally
the best practice to have one man in
full charge of the outfit and respon-
sible for the adjustments and repairs

saved that otherwise would be lost
in turning. incidentally, this pro-
cedure brings under cultivation the
waste land in the fence row.
Farm management studies have
shown that the size of farm is a con-
trolling factor as regards efficiency
in the use of man labor, horse labor,
and machinery on farms. That is
to say, other things being equal, the
larger the farm the more crop acres
worked per man. 1t is not possible,
of course, for the average farmer to
increase the size OF his farm at will
to meet an emergency, but many will
find it possible to gain at once a
measure OF the advantage Of large
farm by making their fields as large
and as Few in number as is possible
under the conditions of topography
and rotation.
For the tractor owner there are
certain special expedients that may
be resorted to in this crisis. II worl

up largely by better utilization Of
men, horses. and tractors now on
farms.
There are three important ways In
which our more efficient farmers i'm
prove on traditional methods Of using
labor for field operations. namely:
1 They increase the horsepow-
or per man by increasing the size Of
teams.
tD They increase the area COW
cred per man and per team by sub
shutting large-sised implements for
smaller ones.
(3) They increase the area COW
cred in q given time by increasing
the size Of fields.
To increase horsepower per man
the farmer merely drives three
horse team where before he drove
but two horses, or a four-horse or
five horse team instead OF a three
horse team. This is perhaps the SIM
plest expedient for increasing labor
efficiency on the farm. and one which
Is already very generally practiced
by our farmers. Where horse labor
Is abundant and man labor scarce
doubling up teams effects material
saving Of labor, even without any
increase in the size Of Implements
used. since naturally the large team
works more easily and more rapidly
than the smaller one.
! When the doubling Of teams is ac-
companied by the introduction Of
larger implements. a further saving
Of man labor and Of time is effected
For example, one man with a two
row cultivator will cultivate twice
the crope area per day covered by
the man with one-row cultivator.
Thus, too, under favorable condi-
tions. an S-foot mower or binder will
cover much more ground in day
than will 6-foot machine. Similar
economies may be affected with other
machines, such as harrows. sulky
plows, hay-rakes, and the like. es-
pecially in the eastern states, where
small-sized implements are the rule.
In general, the larger sized machines
cost but little more than the smaller
ones; indeed the difference is usual
ly so small that one seasons saving
in man labor through the use of a
big machine will often pay the excess
in its cost over that Of one Of a small
er size. The farmer should always
buy the largest implement that will
be practical on his land. It is false
economy to buy a smaller one.
