The Tractor Problem


What about the tractor? Is it a
success? Will it pay? Should I
ny one? Which type is best? How
ong will it last? Can ordinary labor
operate it successfully? These are
4 few of the questions which are
being showered on US from every sec
ton of the state. In order to help
inform ourselves relative to this
natter and to show the farmer what
he may anticipate from the use of
the tractor, the state college of
agriculture organized and has held
in cooperation with manufacturers
and other agencies a large number
of demonstrations throughout the
state. The climax of this work was
wound up at Athens on November
5 with a great demonstration on the
college farm, where thirteen tractors
were in actual operation. The work
which these tractors did was viewed
by several thousand people. All of
the tractors showed a very conSid-
cradle area of land and did excellent
work showing that there are many
types of tractors on the market capa-
BILE of blowing land satisfactorily, eff
ficiently and at a justified cost per
acre.
To determine which type of tractor
is best is exactly like trying to state
that one breed of cattle, horses,
sheep or swine is better than all the
others. Every one knows that this
is not true, because some breeds have
certain excellencies where others
have deficiencies. Some breeds have
an adaptability to one set of condi-
lions and other breeds to another
set of conditions. Some breeds are
probably more prolific than other
breeds. Then we have strains of cat
tie adapted for milk and meat pro-
duction, and possibly a few that pos
sess a good combination of meat and
milk producing functions. Just in
the same way we have tractors
adapted to every type and condition
of our agriculture. There are huge
machines which will pull two gang
ploWs and turn, say, six or more
burrows at time. There are other
machines which may turn only two
burrows. The machine on the one
hand may cost so large an amount
as to make it's purchase and use on
many farms prohibitive, while other
machines may have a wide use and
adaptability and their cost be within
the reach of thousands of farmers.
The small machine might be used
profitably and acceptably on farms
where the acreage is limited. On the
other hand, a large type of machine
might be found altogether unprofit-
able on a farm : of this charactC .
The reason is not difficult to under
stand and appreciate, because the
large machine can be operated to
the best advantage in big fields
where the rows are unusually long
and where there is a relatively small
amount of turning to be accom-

Not for Unskilled Labor

On the other hand, it would seem
unwise to purchase a tractor and
turn it over to some unskilled indi-
vtduaL such as negro laborer and
expect him to handle it with ad-
vantage. These machines have some
more or less delicate mechanism
which can easily be gotten out of
order, and if not properly adjusted

type of agricultural practice. 1t will
make the farm far more livable and
will take away from it a great deal
of the arduous labor which we have
hitherto performed by hand. 1t
means that as long as we utilize the
tractor advantageously American ag-
riculture will still continue to domi-
nate the world.

SOME EXCUSE FOR FAILURE
But Civil Service Candidate Who
Could Not Place Goofusburg Did
Not Pass His Examination.

Now that the government depart
ments have begun to cut down their
forces, examinations are the order of
the day. Incidentally, the civil service
commission Is finding that many
grades are unusually high for about
half the woman war workers who came
TO Washington originally left jobs of
teaching the young idea how to shoot.
Hence, they Just naturally tie the av-
erage civil service question into bow
knot and hang the whole works on the
line in no time
Every now and then, however, the
commission manages to dig up a ques-
ton that no one can answer. Such a
one was found recently for a constit-
ueut of Representative Ayres Of Kan
sas.
Driv ag through Maryland a few
days ago, with this particular constit-
uent, the congressman was somewhat
obfuscated when his friend pointed
out one ramshackle house, standing
IN the middle of cornfeld and ask
ed
Can you name that county seat for
me, congressman"
NO. I can't "Ayres said, "and don't
think any one else can"
"Oh, yes, It can be done" came the
reply "rhat Is Goofusburg."
"Wen," responded the congressman.
THAT may be true. but it doesn't ap-
pear that Goofusburs has been func-
tioning for some time"

innate constituent. 1T went out 'of

WHERE GREAT MONARCH LIES
Mosque of Bajazet II Is One of the
Sights of City of Con-
stantinopIe.

Constantinople has no>mosque more
attractive to natives and strangers
alike than that of Bajazet III. Bajazet,
one time sultan Of an empire, known
MS the dreamer, raised this graceful
monument and sleeps peacefully In its
shelter.
1t is not however, in reverence TO
the memory Of Baiazet that so many
Turks sit langiIidly In the corners of
the mosque court They are here to
profit by the visits of strangers i'm the
city, to tempt them with real Turkish
tobacco, oriental perfumes. amber and
iewelry. In short, they have ser up
shop in the very shadow of the
mosque, and that shadow being insult
ficlent strips of awnings have been
rugged up as further protection from
the gIaring sun. Whether Bajazet
would approve Of this seeming dlsre-
spect can only be Surmised.
Pigeons, too. in diStracting numbers

from one spot to another, save the
mosque courtyard from the solemn
silence of the thousand and one other

approval of the pigeons presence is
recorded from the time when only two

they and their successors have been
always fed and regarded as sacred.
The feathered inhabitants have be-
come so numerous and so much at
home that the mosque has come to be
popularity called the Mosque of
Pigeons" Their cooling softens the
sound of bargaining from the corners
of the court and blends with the splash
of the fountain. Could the dreamy
Baiazet behold them now, poised on
his mlnarets, walking sedately about
his court, and circling like whirllng
clouds about the columns, he would
realize that they are the final touch to
the perfection of his temple.

The girl raised her right hand to

so hard that the red mark, staining

gently, the hand responsible for the

demanded sternly.
