chase of tractor should bear these
facts in mind. Judging by the expert
ence of tractor users, it is not safe
to expect any material reduction in
the cost Of farm operations per acre
through the use of the tractor, but it
is safe to expect to be able to increase
the crop acreage to very consider
able extent, and, at the same time, the
amount of crops which one man can
raise.
Furthermore, it should be remember
ed that the cost of doing the work
with a tractor in most cases cannot be
directly compared with the cost of
doing it with horses, since on farms
where tractors are used number of
horses generally are retained. and any
comparison, therefore, must be made
between the cost of operating the
farm with horses alone and the cost
of operating with the tractor and a
certain number of horses. Not in
frequently horses stand idle while the
tractor is being used for field work,
because there is not sufficient help
available to use them at the. same
time, and in such cases part of the
cost of their maintenance must be
considered when figuring the cost of
farm operations, since they are as
much part of the farm power plant
as is the tractor.
Not only should the relative ex-
penSe of operation with the two meth
DDS be considered, but also the rela-
tive results. The increased crop
acreage and consequent increase in
incomes which the purchase of the
tractor will often make possible may
much more than offset a slight in
crease in the operating expenses of the
farm.

BOARDING AND PROFITEERING
Dealer Should Not Hold or Contract
for More Than Reasonable Re
quirements Of Trade.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To sell farm equipment on the basis
of what it would cost the dealer to
replace it may be considered prOfiteer-
ing, according to statement issued
recently by the Office of farm equip
ment control of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Persons who have sold equipment
at replacement values when costs were
high must continue to do so if prices
go down, even though such sales bring
less than the original cost price of
the stock. Moreover, those whose sell
ing price is fixed in relation to high
replacement prices must restock i'm
mediately and carry the same quantity
of equipment throughout the high
Price period as they had at its begin
ming, in order not to profiteer. Those
who desire to sell out without replac-
ing their stock should not sell at a
prevailing high price, but at cost plus
a fair usual profit.
1t will be considered boarding if
manufacturer or dealer holds, con-
tracts for, or arranges for more equip
ment than the reasonable demands of
his business require. Dealers finding
themselves with excess stock on hand
through inadvertence should sell their
excess holdings at cost plus a fair
usual profit.
The boarding of farm equipment is
defined by the act of congress of Au-
gust 10. 1917. Manufacturers or deal
ers who hoard will be dealt with I'M
der the terms of this act of congress
and not under the ruling as to replace
ment values just issued by the equip
ment control Office.

WOOD vs.. COAL FOR HEATING
One Cord Of WeIl-Seasoned Hardwood
Equal in Value to One Ton of
Anthracite.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In heating value one standard cord
of well-seasoned hickory, oak, beech,
birch, hard maple, ash, elm, locust or
cherry wood is approximately equal to
one ton $4,000 pounds of anthracite
coal. However, cord and a half Of
soft maple and two cords of cedar,
poplar or Eastwood are required to
give the same amount Of heat.
One cord Of mixed wood, well sea-
yOned, equals in heating value at least
one ton of average bituminous coal.

prepared by the United States Depart

The advantage of the tractor, like
that of most other improved farm ma
chinery, lies not so much in the reduc-
ton of the cost Of performing a unit
of work as in the fact that it permits
one man to do considerably more work
In a given time.
This has been true of practically
all improved farm machines. Even
the grain binder, generally considered
as one of the greatest agricultural in
ventions of the century, which has in
creased about eight-fold the acreage
one man could handle, has not result
ed in decreasing materially the cost
of producing grain.

of necessity is the food value Of vegetable
fats For mhny generations we had

ed II is an axiom of biologists that
Nature provided the whale and the seal
for the inhabitants of Polar regions. the
various meat animals for those whose
good fortune set them within the temper
ate zone, and seeds and nuts to furnish
oils and fats for the dwellers under the
tropics Shortage and increased demand
incident to the war have combined to
enforce q readiustment of this schedule
TO greater extent than has been supposed
In the United States the consumption
of vegetable oils has enormously increased
within the last two years For example,
while we are the worlds largest producer
cottonseed oil, in the last year we imported
S1,210 900 worth of this material. Our
total imports of vegetable oils for the wear
totaled S75 900 600, of which almost half
came from the Philippines. This in
