The number of horses displaced on
these farms is also shown, but no in
ference has been drawn as to whether
the work is being done more cheaply
as result of the change.
Summary of Results.
Briefly summarized, these are the
principal facts brought out or en-
phasized by this study:
1. The number of horses disposed
of on 141 farms averaging 1862 acres,
on which tractors had been used for
year or over, was 21a per farm.
2. The average number of tillable
acres per horse increased from 2612 to
3. Nine operators out of 191 dis
placed horses entirely on blowing,
disking and narrowing.
4. Only 16 operators allowed their
horses TO stand idle while the tractor
was in use.
s. The number of horses displaced
by the tractors or these farms was
governed by the number it was nee
e*sary to retain for corn cultivation
and other work current at the same
time. which the tractor could not do.
6. The horses remaining on these
farms are doing about 70 per cent of
the tractive work and tractors the re
mainder.
I. The tractor was used for in av-
crage of 20 ten-hour days per year on
the home farm. No record of the
amount of custom work done was OBJ
tanned.
8. \ three-plow tractor on these
farms does the work of S11a horses in
blowing, disking, narrowing and har-
veSting
9. After purchasing the tractor. the
average size of the farms was in
I creased by 30 acres. or Is per cent.
10. The principal advantage of Il
tractor is its ability to do heavy work
| in a shorter time than 1t can be done
with horses.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., with special
reference to the influence of the trac-
tor on horse labor. were made in the
summer and fall of 1918 on 191 corn
belt farms. The operators of these
farms, all tractor owners, were Wis
tied by representative of the United
States department of agriculture, anu
detailed information on all farm op-
erations was gathered. The inquiry
covered full years work, so that the
part played by the tractor might be
noted in all its relations.
The investigation was carried on in
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. In each OF
these states localities were visited in
which large number of tractors were
in operation. The information OBJ
tanned, while perhaps strictly ana
fully applicable only to the farms Wis
tied. may be taken as q general guide
as TO the results which might be OBJ
tanned in using tractor on any corn
belt farm of like type and organiZa-
ton.
The statements here made and con-
illusions drawn are not advanced as
being final, but simply as additions to
the available information regarding
farm tractors.

successfully in what would be termed
urfavorable as we'll as favorable sea-

general adaptability.
While the section covered is rough
~ called the corn belt. farm practices
are not uniform throughout the re-
giOn. In most parts OF the eastern
ecrn-helt states commercial fertilizers
and lime are used. these being APP

most of the blowing is done in tie fall
or only a small part. and the rest in
the spring. depends largely on loca-
ton. Where fall and spring piowing
are done in about equal amounts on
individual farms the tractor is used
more in the fall than in the spring.
and horses vice versa. It was found
that when all the reports, obtained
we're grouped together only five more
operators plowed in the fall than in
the spring, but the number of acres
plowed in the fall averaged 23.T more
per farm. The number of men using
horses as an auxiliary source of power
was practically the same in each -ase.
Tractor Saves Labor.
Many farms have woodlands. and as
these are cleared the tractor is used
for saving wood for market. thus in
creasing the days of belt operation.
The scarcity of labor in 1918 ham,
pered the gathering of crops, and in
the states on the eastern edge of the
corn belt the tractor was used to
considerable extent in the hay field. to
the exclusion of horses.
As corn is the principal crop in this
region. the effect of the tractor on
horse labor will be more noticeable
in the case of this crop than that of
any other crop grown, the average
| acreage Of corn per farm of those Wis
ited being $50 acres. which is 81 per
cent of the tillable area of these
| farms. The remaining crops grown
i! on these farms. in order of crop acre
age. are: Wheat, hay, oats, barley
and rye.

tractor power &c horsepower has been
considered. and no attempt is made

doing work by these sources of power.

HISTORIC MARINE MILLS BURN;
BUILT IN eleventh CENTURY
(The London Mail.) ,

(The London MaI.) ,H
One of the most historic landmarks
connected with the glorious part taken
by the British army in first battle OF
the Marine in 1914, and one of Frances
finest artistic jewels, was destroyed
the other day when fire RACED to the
waters edge the mills over the River
Marine at Meaux, where they had stood
since the 18th century.
The mills, five in number, were
built on piles over the River Marine
and were visited yearly by thousands
of tourists. Four of them had passed
unscathed through the turmoil OF the
great war. When Sir John French's
"contemptibles" retired across the
Marine in September, 1914, they spared
the historic mills, blowing up only the
first arch of the bridge on which
they were built, and with the turn OF
the tide of victory, Won Kluck's troops
never got near enough to destroy
them. The fire was discovered in the
early morning hours by a Waterman,
who noticed sparks rising from one
of the mills. He at once gave the
alarm and soon the whole town OF
Meaux was gathered in the streets
watching great columns of sparks ris-
ing skyward from the wooden struc-
lures packed with blazing grain, while
the firemen strove vainly to fight the
flames In few hours all that re
manned of these gems of French me-
dieval architecture was a few blacken-
ed stumps sticking out of the waters
of the Marine, and a heap Of debris
in the center of the river.
