DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRACTOR
CONTINUED from Page s.
a s-plow or 4-plow machine.


COST OF THE TRACTOR OUTFIT
Though not the only consideration
the cost of a tractor is one Of the
first points which farmer must con
slider. The prices of different makes
of outfits vary considerably for mach
ines of practically the same capacity
owing to differences in quality, sales
systems, efficiency in manufacture,
quantity produced, etc. 1t is a grave
mistake to sacrifice quality for saw
ing in the first cost, since in no other
farm machine do reliability and ser
viceability count for more than in
the tractor. On the other hand, it
is poor management for a farmer to
invest too large part of his capital
in power. The desirability is Obvi-
Gus of further standardization and
quantity production of tractors, in
order to reduce the first cost.
The price which a farmer can af-
ford to pay for a tractor for use on
his farm depends upon a number of
factors, such as the amount and value
of the work which the machine will
perform annually, the value of the
horses which it will displace, the
value of the man labor saved, and the
amount of increased returns which
reasonably may be expected from it's
use
TRACTORS HIGHER PRICED
D1.i0 70 no
plements for use with them have
been considerably increased during
the last two years, owing to the ad-
Vances in costs of both labor and
materials required to produce them.
At the present time (1919) the cost
of the 2-plow tractors ranges from
about 5000 to $1,000; the 3-plow
machines cost from about $1,1OO to
$1,000, and the 4-plOw outfits from
81, 500 to $2,4OO, the range in prices
depending, of course, upon the fact
Ors above referred to. In practically
all cases where tractor is purchased
it is necessary to buy some special
equipment for use with it, or at any
rate a special tractor gang plow.
The prices on the latter implement
at present are approximately $125,
$175, and $3.50, respectively, for the
2, g., and A. bottom gangs. In all
cases the prices vary considerably
according to the make and quality
of the machines.
AS information was obtained from
men who had used their machines at
least one season, though in no case
exceeding three seasons, the cost of
the outfits, the reports on which were
used in the preparation of this bulle-
tin, averaged slightly lower than the

LIFE OF THE TRACTOR

ines had been bought before the rise
in prices.
LIFE OF THE TRACTOR
i The amount OF service which
tractor will perform before it must
be replaced is obviously an import
ant factor in determining its value
for farm work. Gas tractors have
undergone so many changes in their
process of development that it is i'm
possible to obtain any really definite
figures as to the amount OF work a
tractor of modern design reasonably
may be expected to do before it must
be replaced. Among the factors in
fuencing the amount of service rend-
cred by given machine, by far the
most important is the care it receives
at the hands of the operator. The
quality of the outfit, the kinds of
work for which it is used, and the
conditions under which it is operated
all materially affect its life.
Nearly all tractors are used under
conditions which are extremely sew
ere for any kind of machine. They
travel over rough and uneven ground,
and are subjected to severe shocks
both from distractions in the path
and from the load being pulled. A
still more injurious condition is their
exposure to an almost constant show
er of dust and dirt, which, if the soil
contains much gritty substance, at
tacks all gears and bearing surfaces,
not only those on the exterior of the
machines but also those inside the
engine itself, unless an efficient filter
is provided for the air intake to the
carburetOr. This excessive wear due
to dust was a very serious matter
with the earlier models of tractors,
but great progress has been made
during the last year or two in pro-
tecting the machines in this respect.
USERS GIVE ESTIMATES
1t is obviously impossible to de-
termine definitely the probable life
of the latest model tractors, since
none of them is worn out, but the
nearest approximation to the actual
figure would unquestionably be the
average of the estimates given by
large number of men who had used
them for a season or two. Tractor
owners were asked for an opinion as
to the number of years their own
particular machines would give sat
isfactory service. AS would naturally
be expected, the average of the estim-
ates of men who have found the
tractor satisfactory and profitable
was higher than of those who gave
adverse reports on their machines.
The average of the estimates of the
aforementioned class of owners was
"a and the latter 6.2 years. The
fact should not be overlooked, how
ever, that the percentage of favor
able reports was considerably higher
than the unfavorable, nearly IS per
cent of the owners reporting that
Morris tribune., 1919-08-22

The fact that a large percentage
of these Minnesota farmers enlarged
their farms after buying tractors is
significant when the tractors place
in farm management is thus consid-
cred. Obviously these men have
learned through experience that
much more sland per man can be
handled when a tractor is used than
with horses only, and that to get the
most out of their investment they
must farm land enough to keep their
Morris tribune., 1919-08-22

farm so as to provide profitable en-
ployment for the tractor during as
many days as possible. Such organiz-
alton involves the planning of crop
rotation which will furnish a large
amount of work which can be done
by the tractor, the elimination of as
many horses as desirable, and the dis
tribution of the work over a long
period. The rotation, of course,
should include only such crops as can
be grown profitably in the particular
region.

their machines had proven profitable.
The average of all estimates on the
life of tractor is almost nine years.
The average number of days these
machines were used annually for both
home and custom work was 81.
These figures, therefore, would indi-
cate working life of approximately
$50 days. 1t is not believed that a
prospective purchaser of a tractor
should expect for his outfit a longer
liz ,..an uiiia seasons of SO working
days each and he would be on the
safe side if he counted on some
what shorter period of service when
calculating the probable value Of a
tractor for his work. These figures,
of course, are based upon the usual
proportions of field and belt work.
A tractor wears much faster and in
more parts when used in the field
than when used for belt power.
Where a large percentage of the
tractors work will be at stationary
operations, it's life in days of service
will be proportionately greater.
DAYS USED ANNUALLY
The tractors reported on the Min
nesOta farms were used on an aver
age about SO days annually. The
number of days tractor can be
used on any particular farm, of
course, will depend upon a number
of factors, such as the size of the
tractor, the extent of the various
operations for which the tractor can
be used, and the soil conditions at
the time these operations must be
performed. While so days may ap-
pear low at first glance, it must be
borne in mind that the seasons dur
ing which specific farm operations
should be carried on are compare
lively limited, and on farms where
the work is done entirely by horses,
100 days work annually for each
work animal is about a fair average.
Since the tractor in proper sizes in
creases the speed at which the vart-
Gus operations are accomplished and
certain number of horses are almost
invariably uS0u 1OI pSAAOA AuAuS OOu
Jobs for which the tractor is not
practicable, it is obvious that SO days
work annually for a tractor on most
farms is about all that can be ex-
pected unless decided change is
made in the farm organization so as
to utilize the tractor more efficiently.
PLAN TO LENGTHEN WORKING
PERIOD
Practically all farm operations
must be carried on within limited
periods, and between these seasons
there will often be no field work
which the tractor can do, either on
the home farm or for neighbors, even
though weather and soil conditions
are such as to permit field work with
a tractor.
Efficient farm management plays
an important part in organizing the

NEW GAME LAW AND RESULTS
Extract From Annual Report or
State Game Warden.

Extract From Annual Report or
State Game Warden.
The passage of the Statewide
Hunting License Law of 1915 has
put new life into the State Game De-
partment. This law had been adj
vocated by game authorities for
years, and it was conceded by all
parties familiar with our game con-
ditions that nothing could be done
to protect and conserve the game
supply of the State until a law OF
this kind should be passed. In our
last annual report, we published a
list Of States showing receipts from
hunters licenses in A out of AZ
States which had already adopted
this modern system, calling atten-
ton to the fact that Maryland was
then one of four States only which
had neglected to adopt the system
Prior to 1918, under various local
laws, there actually existed SIS diff
ferent kinds of cunning licenses OF
various kinds, amounts and places
throughout the counties of the State.
All this confusion and waste has
now been done away by uniform
Statewide license system providing
for a resident County license OF
$1.OO, a resident Statewide license
of $500, and a nonresident State
wide license of $40. The figures
submitted by the State Game War
den show that from these moderate
licenses, even under stress of War
conditions, an adequate fund has
been raised from among gunners
themselves to provide the money
needed to protect the States de-
pleted stock of game, and to enforce
the. Conservation Laws relating to
game and fish. A sufficient balance
remains to purchase quail, pheasant,
rabbits and other game with which
to restock the various Counties.
According to the express require
ment of the new law, the funds de-
rived from licenses after paying the
expenses of the Game Department
are to be divided in proportion to
the respective contributions from
the Counties. Contracts for the pur-
chase of 100000. worth of game for
restocking purposes have already
been made and additional sums will
be spent for feeding and protecting
the States supply of game.

U. S. BOYS WORKING RESERVE,
Will Supply Farmers With Young
Men,


The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
is again actively preparing to give
special help to the farmers of Mary
land during the summer and early
autumn. The Department Of Labor
through the Reserve is enrolling the
older high school boys OF Baltimore
city and the towns of Maryland for
this service.
Last year the Reserve had many
more demands for help than ii
could possibly meet. The demands
for young men in the commercial
and war industries of the city were
so great that it was impossible to
enroll enough of them to meet the
requests for their services. This
coming season the number of boys
available will be much greater and
the Reserve hopes, therefore, to be
of even more value to the farmers OF
the state than it was last year.
The Reserve motto Of Select boys
for. select farms" sums up in brief
the policy Of this branch of the U.
s. Employment Service. Boys sent
out are vouched for by the school
authorities and can be taken into
the farmers home and mingle with
his family. On the other hand, nc
boys will be furnished to farmers
until the State Board Of Health has
inspected the farm and reported il
as safe and healthy place for boys
to work.
The young men sent out through
the Reserve are between 16 and 81
years of age, all old enough and able
to be of real service. Many of them
are fully capable of doing a mans
full share and all are considerably
higher in intelligence than the usual
class of farm help. Farmers who
employed them last summer and
autumn were pleased at results.
These boys will be ready to start
work about the 18th of June
Farmers who will need help at that
time or after should not wait until
then before communicating with the
Reserve. Early applications will
make it easy for Reserve officials to
send carefully selected boys to meet
the farmers demands and it will pay
all farmers who will need help after
June 18th to write without further
delay to the Reserve Office. Ad-

The Place OF Home Demonstration
Work.

Every once in while Home
Demonstration Agent comes in con-
tact with a person who questions
the need and demand for this work.
After an inquiry it is soon realized
that the party who entertains such
a notion is wholly ignorant of tn
aims, purposes and the all importnat
field which the broad subject OF
home economics occupies in building
up our rural homes, our rural life
and developing our future gener
atoms. Oftentimes it is not ignor'
ance, it is just lack of appreciation
of the many phases of the subject
on the part of the homemaker. She
has not been reached and impressed
with the fundamental aspects OF
home economics as applied to heI
home
Many of us have taken the posi-
ton that money making is the big
gest job in life, but we are slowly
coming to realize that home making
is the most important factor.
The home is the centre of all life's
activities. We are born there and
long before we go to church oil
school our fundamental ideas of life
have become fixed Isn't it about
time that we realized that boys and
girls mean more to this nation than
calves and pigs?-that the home
maker has problems to solve more
important than those of the farmer
or merchant? The way to solve
these problems is to attack them
and that is what the Home Demon
stration Agent is doing. With heI
cooperation the women of the coun-
ties are getting together to work out
problems of food, home nursing
identifying the home, laws OF
health, sanitation, and most import
ant of all, to take away some of the
drudgery, because in many homes
even though there is an automobile
in the garage, the kitchen is as il
was twenty years ago. And the
girls, the homemakers of tomorrow
are taught to cook, can, sew, mend
garden and look upon these accom-
plishments as the necessary founda-
ton for a useful life.-Miss Ola Day
