surprising that the small outfit finds
little favor with farmers.
HOW SMALL A FARM CAN AT
FORD A TRACTOR?
The question as to the smallest
farm on which a tractor may be ex-
pected to prove profitable is often
asked and has been much discussed.
This obviously depends upon a num-
Der of factors, and particularly the
type of farming followed. Certainly
no more reliable opinion on this point
for farmers in any locality could be
obtained than the average of the
estimates of large number of tract
or owners in that neighborhood. In
the opinion of Minnesota farmers the
minimum number of acres on which
the g, g., or 4-plow outfits may be
expected to prove profitable are 1885,
225, and 314 acres, respectively. At
tention is called especially to the fact
that these figures represent the
smallest size of farm for which these
tractors should be purchased, in the
opinion of men who have had ex-

done quickly, thus covering the de-
sired acreage within the proper sea-
son, is most important and is men
toned by large percentage of own
ers. Ability to do thorough work,
especially in hot weather, is empha-
sized considerably, as is also the saw
ing in man labor and doing away
with hired help, enabling one man to
farm a large acreage and thus in
crease the total quantity Of crops
which he can raise Economy is
mentioned by a larger percentage of
owners in this territory than in some
other parts of the country, owing
doubtless to the fact that the crop
ping system permits the tractor to
be used for a larger percentage Of
farming operations than in most
other regions; at the same time, the
cropping systems are usually such as
to utilize horse labor rather ineffi-
GENTLY, thus making the comparison
rather favorable to the tractor.
SIZE OF FARM AND TRACTOR
The introduction of any improved
farm machine generally reduces the
man labor required for any farm
operation, and thus permits one man
to accomplish more work and SO
farm more land than with the older
methods. This holds true regarding
tractors of sizes which will accom-
plish more work per day than can be
60n0 with h0rcnC P0ooIIco Nf the
local conditions and the type of
farming followed, farms in Minnesota
have always been of comparatively
large size, yet A per cent of the
farmers who bought tractors in
creased the acreage which they were
farming, the average increase being
139 acres. Though the adoption of
tractors in any locality has invari-
ably resulted in marked increase in
the size of farms, in the Corn Belt
and other farming communities
where the average size of farms was
considerably less than in Minnesota,
the percentage of tractor owners who
increased their acreage has usually
been about SO per cent, and the addi-
tional acres farmed would average
slightly less than 100. The higher
percentage of farmers in Minnesota
who increased their farm acreage, as
we'll as the considerable amount of
additional land farmed, is particular
ly interesting.
This increase in the size of farms
is a logical result of the adoption of
a labor-saving machine. Farm man
agement studies repeatedly have
demonstrated the fact that a great
many farms are not large enough to
furnish economical employment for
the equipment which they possess.
That is, the various implements are
capable of doing the work on a larger
Morris tribune., 1919-08-22

These figures show that more than
One-half of the men reporting own
three-plow machines, the remainder
being about evenly distributed among
the two-plow, four-plow, and larger
Sizes After using these tractors,
nearly the same percentage recon-
mend the three-plow tractors as own
them, while 80 per cent recommend
the four-plow outfits and only per
cent the two-plow machines. It is
obvious from the reports of Minnesota
farmers that the two-plow tractor
does not increase sufficiently the
amount of work which one can do
following the old methods, hence does
not possess, except to a slight degree,
the greatest advantage of tractors in
general-namely, timeliness in per-
forming farm operations through
much more rapid work than in pos
sible with horses. Moreover, a two
plow tractor does not ordinarily de-
velop enough power to make 1t suit
able for operating even the smallest
sizes of grain separators, with the
usual attachments; hence in small

deal of thrashing to be done and in

acreage within the time which the
seasons allow, and the purchase or
renting of additional land often will
increase the gross receipts consider
ably without materially increasing
the operating expenses.
LARGER TRACTORS FOR LARGER
FARMS
With the tractor, as with any other
farm machine, it is important that a
suitable size should be selected for a
given acreage. Because of the large
acreages to be plowed in Minnesota
the small two-plow tractors have
never proved popular. The records
obtained show that by far the larg-
est number of machines purchased
during the last two or three seasons
have been the three-plow outfits, with
a considerably greater number of the
larger than of the smaller machines.
The recommendations of the ex-
perienced tractor owners who fur.
nished reports as to the size of tract
ors which are most suitable for their
farms are particularly significant.
The proportion of these men who
bought the different sizes, together
with the sizes they recommend after
having used the tractor, regardless
of the sizes which they own, are
shown in Table l.
