| will lose more by neglect than he
makes by the custom work
Disadvantage, Mentioned by Owners
The packing of damp soil and the
difficulty Of efficient operation are the
chief disadvantages mentioned by
tractor users. Where early spring
work is necessary, the packing of the
soil, especially a heavy soil is a seri
Gus objection.
The fact that a tractor demands a
certain amount of knowledge on the
part of the operator can scarcely be
considered a disadvantage The
training can be easily obtained at
small expense. But too many men
attempt to run tractors without learn
ing anything about them except the
starting, stopping and shifting gears
The important thing is the ability to
detect trouble the minute it begins to
develop. and know how to remedy ii
promptly instead of allowing it to run
along until an expensive delay re-
suits.
1t pays to spend a few days gaining
experience under competent in
structor. 1t is unwiSe to attempt to
run tractor without such prepare
ton. With the increasing use of trac.
tors, as we'll as automobiles and sta
tionary engines. farmers are rapidly
becoming familiar with the care and
operation of gas engines At the
same time, tractors are being i'm
proved and simplified SO that difficult
ties in operation are growing less each
year. t9
The comparatively large invest
ment, rapid depreciation, and fuel and
repair bills have also been mentioned
by farmers as points against owning
tractor. They point out. too. that
a tractor is not adaptable to all farm
work where horses are ordinarily
used. However, the tractor can do
much work that horses cannot do
work where belt power is needed
Fit the Tractor to the Farm.
One of the most important points
to consider when buying a tractor
is the size of the farm. Experienced
tractor owners rarely recommend the
purchase of tractor for use on q
farm with less than 100 or 100 acres
under cultivation, and for such farms
the twO-plow outfit is usually pre-
ferred. However. most of the farms
on which tractors are being used sue
cessfully are somewhat larger than
this, and a majority of the tractors
pull three plows.. Four-plow ma
chimes are being used satisfactorily on
some farms where there is a larger
amount of work to be done, and where
the conditions are such that one man
can operate an outfit of this size.
Size, however, is not the only fac
tor to be considered. and the question
whether or not q tractor will prove
profitable is y problem in farm man.

tractor may be either a profitable
or an Improbable investment Each
farm has its own peculiarities, and a
farmer must weigh the advantages
and disadvantages carefully before
buying a tractor. He should study
the experiences of those who have
used tractors in farm work, paving
particular attention to those whose
farms conform most nearly to his
own in size and system of cropping
This is advice from specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
On an average, one farm in 80 in
the United States now uses tractor.
1t has been estimated by manufacture
ers that over 100000 tractors will be
made this year. 1t behooves every
farmer contemplating buying one to
study his farm problems from every
angle.
Advantages in Using Tractor
The advantage of tractor lies not
so much in the reduction in the cost
of doing piece of work as in being
able to do it in less time. Thus the
number of acres farmed can be in
creased and the work done quickly.
Often the saving of time is the impor-
tant factor in making profit on the
crop grown.
A tractor can be kept on the job in
hot weather when horses are at a
disadvantage. 1t can do heavy work
and do it rapidly, thus covering the
desired acreage in the proper season.
It saves man labor, thus enabling the
farm to be worked with less hired
help. 1t sometimes decreases the
number Of horses needed, thus saving
both investment in horses and the ex-
pense of their feed.
The tractor owner can Increase his
income somewhat by doing custom
work for his neighbors; but this is
often doubtful practice. Outside
work must be done at time when

ness available is sufficient to make it
worth while. As large a membership
as possible should be secured, be-
cause there is a direct connection be-
tween mem bership and the support
accorded 10 an organization. Dis
regard of this fact has resulted in the
failure OF some organizations.
The attitude of farmers in COM
munity toward cooperative effort can
not be ignored. If the growers have
not reached the stage where they are
ready to give up individual effort for
cooperative effort, failure is of course
inevitable. - L. S. Department of

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
DEMANDS MEMBERS AID
Not a Remedy for All Difficulties
However, Say Federal
Experts.

Much has been accomplished by the
American farmer through cooper
atiye marketing. and organized ac.
tivities are gaining rapidly in pop
ularity in rural communities. While
much may be done through cooper
alton, it is not a remedy for all mar
keting difficulties, say cooperative
organization men of the bureau of
markets, United States department of
agriculture.
One OF the precautions which must
be observed in the organization of
farmers cooperative marketing as
sociatons is that the demand for or
ganized effort should come from those
who unite to form the organization.
Another important point to be OBJ
served is that the organization should
grow from strong foundation.
The mistake is frequently made of
attempting to form a large central

large. the membership is scattered.
and it is difficult to keep the organi-

One of the principal obstacles to
successful cooperation is the selfish

tant that the members understand
clearly the purposes of the organiza-
ton and the methods by which it ex-
