! before purchase of tractors, and there
was in for each 37.9 acres at the time
of the investigation. On the farms
where there had been no change In
acreage there had been l horse fol
each 21.5 crop acres before the pur-
chase of tractors, and there was ]
for each 20 crop acres at the time OF
the investigation.
With the tractors doing the bulk OF
the work of blowing and fitting the
grond, the cultivation of corn is the
foperation which requires the great
est amount OF horse labor in the
shortest time on most of these farms
However, on only 105 of the 28t
farms were all the workstock used
for cultivation, and on only SO of the
remainder were they all used for any
other one operation. On just half OF
the farms all the workstock were not
used for any one operation.
Operating Costs May Be Reduced.
, There were great variations ON IN
dividual farms in the cost of power
| furnished by both horses and tractors;
and by more careful management
many farmers could doubtless reduce
this cost. Repair costs and fuel con-
sumption of the tractors could IN
many cases, have been reduced by
more careful operation. The cost OF
keeping workstock could have been
| reduced on many farms by more care
full feeding practices. The facts that
on 20 of the farms the wOrkstock did
less than 40 days of work per head
during the year, and that on half OF
the farms they were not all used fol
any single operation, indicate that on
some farms there are still more work
stock than needed for the system OF
farming being practiced.
] The average annual cost of power
for the drawbar work on the home
farm which was done with tractors
was equal to the cost of keeping 81
head of workstock and this is prac-
Itically the average number displaced
| per farm. On the basis of present
prices, however, the cost of keeping
workstock has declined considerably
more than the cost of operating trac-
tors.
Since, during the year covered by
the investigation, the cost of power
on the average farm was no greater
than if it had all been furnished by
horses, any saving in man labor costs,
any gain due to getting larger
amount of work done in a given time,
and any other advantages connected
with the use of tractors which can
not be measured directly in dollars
and cents, might be considered clear
profit. 1t is doubtful, however, if such
gains were great enough to balance
the cost of operating the tractors on
many of the farms where there was
no change in acreage and where no
workstock were displaced.

or more.
The fuel consumption, per day for
the 2-plow tractors varied from about
Is gallons for fall blowing to about
II gallons for drawing the hay load
er. For the 3-plow tractors it varied
from % gallons for blowing to Is gal
Ions for drawing the hay loader. The
2-plow tractors covered sc acres per
day in blowing and the 3-plow ma
chimes SO acres. The amount of fuel
required per acre by the two sizes was
practically the same, 2.8 gallons for
the 2-plow and 2.7 gallons for the
3-plOw tractors.
Little Difference in Flowing Costs.
The average cost per acre of power
for the blowing done with 2-plow trac-
tors was about 81 and with the 3-plow
about 1920 The cost of power for
the blowing done with horses on these
farms was about $3.50 per acre. Bas-
ed on the present costs of keeping
workstock the cost of power for plow-
ing with horses would be about $3.50
per acre. For most of the other OPP
lerations the cost of power when fur
nished by horses was slightly less
than when furnished by tractors. The
cost per acre of power for disking
with tractors was S0.67, with horses,
$0.64; for cutting grain with tractors,
$0.67; with horses, $3.50. These tigu-
res represent the cost of power only,
and do not include eiteher the cost of
man labor, or that of the implements
used.
The average cost per day of 2-plow
tractor for drawbar work on the home
farm was about $12.65, and of 3-plow
tractors about S17.75.
The total cost of power furnished
by the tractors for drawbar work at
