Flowing With Tractors Presents Prob
lens That Never Trouble Man Who
Uses Horse-Drawn Implements.

cling with the plows out of the ground,
and that ordinarily the number Of
dead burrows and back burrows will
be considerably less.
In using the first-named methods 1t
Is necessary to measure the lands In
the center Of the field accurately, leav-
ing an equal area on all sides of the
field In which to turn the outfit, and
which can be plowed last by running
the tractor completely around the field
several times. II one end Of the field
is unfenced the outfit can be pulled
out into road or lane, or an adjoin-
ing field. for turning. 1t may be
preferable to pillow up to the fence on
the two sides as the body Of the field
Is being plowed, and leave the head
land only across the end Of the field
which is fenced. The width of the
headland will depend largely on the
turning radius Of the tractor. With
easily handled outfits 1t Is not neces-
sary to leave more than Is or 20 feet.
Careful Flowing Saves Time.
II the field is to be finished up In
the best manner, with no irregular, I'M
plowed strips between the land or at
the edges, It Is essential that care be
taken to. have the headland Of the
same width clear around the field, to
have the distances measured exactly
when starting new lands, and to have
the first burrows as nearly straight as
possible. A little extra time taken In
measuring or the necessary distances
and setting plenty Of stakes for guild
ance will nearly always be more than
returned in saving time at the finish.
II the tractor pulls three or more
plows, cutting total width Of three OF
more feet. some effort should be made
to have the width of the headlands an
exact multiple Of the total width Of
the plow, 30 that the last strip acrosu
the field will exactly cut out the land
or finish It to the fence. This will
do away with the necessity a making
. trip across the field. probably over
the plowed ground. to turn narrow
strlp which hss been LETT unplowed.

CORN STANDARD NOW RISING
Fraction for 1918 Was s2.5 Per Cent,
Slightly Above Mean for the Pre-

Merchantable corn was 82.4 per cent
Of the entire crop during the last 80
years. and the percentage has been a
declining one. In 1SSS-1S97 the mean
was $40 per cent; in 1s9s-1907. 1914
per cent: and In 190S-1917, SO.2 per
cent. The standard Of merchanta-

ton for 1918 was 1875 per cent, or
almost the mean for 30 years, but
above the mean Of the preceding ten
years. The highest fraction in SO
years was S9.1 per cent In 1903, and
the lowest 90 per cent In 1917.
