Germans Obtain American Tractors
by Trickery

Berlin, Germany, Oct. Bone
German way of treating American
business men who have goods super
Tor to German products was told by a
representative of big American mo-
tor tractor company. This man who
has his principal office in Cologne,
received an invitation last week from
an organization of Bavarian tractor
manufacturers and farmers to bring
some Of his tractors to Munich and
take part in tractor competition
there.
The German authorities in Cologne
approved the application to import
and send twelve tractors and plOws to
Munich without the payment of duty.
When the American arrived in Mu-
Mich he was cordially received by ev-
erybody. Everything went well dur
ing the three days of competition, in
the course of which the American
tractor showed its superiority by
blowing a certain tract of land in
one-third the time required by any
German tractor.
Then suddenly the American re-
ceived notice that he had brought the
tractors into Germany without the
necessary import license and for that
reason the machines had been confis'
Gated. Although he complained to the
highest governmental officials in Ber'
lin about the injustice of this action
the American has not yet been able
to get the tractors back.-Chicagc

Unprecedented observers declare that
retail merchants have been slow to
take their losses in the financial de-
preston and slow trade has resulted.
Farmers were hit hard but kept their
courage. They have been compelled
to buy carefully, but are good judges
of value and as soon as general com
modify prices reach a level that COM
pares favorably with the prices of
farm products, then they will buy
with their usual liberality.
The recent cuts in prices made by
implement manufacturers as soon as
replacement costs could be estimated,
are excellent business stimulants, the
effects # which viii reach far beyond
the merchant. They will affect the
manufacturer and all his helpers as
well as the material men from whom
he gets his supplies. Activity in one
line always extends its good influence
to other lines and so everybody will
be in step and general business pros.
perity will prevail. AS the Ohio
Farmer says, prosperity is almost al
together a matter of everybody agree
ing to go ahead with business.

of the tractor was stated. to be 10
years.
The heavy oats crop of the Cana
dian provinces, with the difficulty in
marketing it at fair price; the low
price and no market for horses; and
the high price of fuels and the diff
Guilty of getting money to pay for
them were the main reasons using an
imal power. Many farmers used
horses not because they preferred to,
but because they had the oats and the
horses which they could not sell and
wanted to avoid the layout for fuel
and oil for the tractor.
The fact that more than 50 per cent
of the tractors have been used in this
Il very exceptional year, is very fav.
orable evidence for power farming.

War Tractors Do Stunts.

Tie agricultural industry is not the
only one that is interested in the de-
velopment of tractors. The army ord
nance department, which is supposed
to devote it's attention solely to grim
activities, recently staged a mechani-
cal menagerie at the Aberdeen Prov
ing Ground in Maryland. Tanks,
tractors, self propelled gun mounts,
and trucks were formed in a great
three-ring circus. Great elephantine
tanks waddled and plowed and plowed
their way through and over obstacles,
smaller tanks and gun carriages dash
ed rapidly up and down dale, while a
baby tank cut all manner of clownish
capers to the delight of the crowd.
One member of the circus, very
fast gun carriage, rushed at 20 miles
an hour straight at the crowds which
lined the field, only to turn abruptly
on it's iron heels and charge madly
down the field like a crazy iron bull.
An amphibious gun carriage slid into
a tank full of water and then emerg-
ed on the other side, in no wise effected
by its bath.

Horses will soon be strange animals
in the land of the ukelele. They are
rapidly being displaced by motor driv-
en- machinery.
For transportation purposes auto
mobiles and trucks have almost entire
ly superseded the horse, and on the
big sugar and pineapple plantations
the work is done almost exclusively
by tractors and motor-driven plows.
This development has reduced operat-
ing expenses considerably, at the same
time accomplishing increased and more
satisfactory results. Several planta-
tions are now manufacturing their
own motor fuel from sugar refinery
waste.
A big factor in the change that has
been wrought is the wonderful roads
which are being developed in the is
lands. Splendid automobile roads lead
to every point of interest, and each of
the four larger islands is circled by
splendidly constructed belt roads,
from which branch out other high
ways, forming a veritable network Of
good roads.

Canadian Farmers Believe in Power
Farming.

In order to determine the accuracy
of reports derogatory of power farm
ing in the Canadian Northwest which
were being given wide circulation, a
survey was conducted among some
5000 tractor owners in this region
with rather startling results. 1t was
found that only IL per cent were not
using their tractors this year instead
of the 95 per cent originally reported,
and Of this u per cent more than half
said they would use their tractors lat
err in the year. Not a single one men
toned that he had any fundamental
fault to find with the tractor, nor did
anyone consider the tractor a losing
investment. The yearly repair eX-
penses varied from SIS to $50 and av-
eraged SIS, while the estimated life

Kansas to Have Extension Tractor
Schools

Preliminary arrangements are be-
ing made by the farm engineering de
partment of the Kansas State College
to conduct series of extension
schools in that state. The work will
be carried on in connection with the
local county agents. Several counties
have already expressed their desire to
have such schools and every effort
will be made to make them strongly
educational and beneficial.
Prof. Mark Havenhill will have
charge of these schools, which will
generally be of three days length
The first day will be spent in discuss
ing the general features of the trac-
tor and tractor motors; the second day
will be devoted to fuel, carburetors,
ignition and lubricants, and the third
day will be given over to field demon
STATIONS.

Business Farmers in California

California agriculture has been re-
duced to a scientific business basis, re-
marks the California Cultivator, and
adds that tractors purchased as in
vestments have been proved a neces-
sity. The California rancher is sold
on the power farming idea and his
prime consideration now is service of
power farming machinery.
Tractors are used extensively in Or
chard work, which is a strong argu-
ment in favor of the economy of pow
er farming. No farmer keeps more
accurate cost accounts than does the
California orchardist, nor is there any
other type of farmer who uses more

The saw blade should be of ample
size to cut through at one operation
the largest piece of wood commonly
handled. Blades from "a to 30 inches
in diameter are the most popular. A
speed of 1900 revolutions for 30-inch
or 1900 for 24-inch blade is recon-
mended. A fly wheel mounted on the
saw mandrel will help to preserve mo-
mentum when the saw is going
through the wood.
An engine of six to eight horsepow-
err is sufficient for the heaviest wood,
and one of four horsepower will suf-
flee if only small poles and branches
are to be cut. Garden tractors can be
used very handily in this work.

Power Machinery Reduces Labor of
Cutting FirewoOd

A days work with a buzz saw or
drag saw will yield as much firewood
as could be cut in many hard days en-
ergetic work by hand and will effect
a saving of labor or coal, or perhaps
both, that is well worth considering,
especially if there be timber available
that is fit for fuel and not for lumber.
A great many farmers already have
tractors or gasoline engines and wood
saving machines which are compara-
lively inexpensive. One outfit can do
the work for several families and may
be bought in partnership or operated
for hire.

A Place Where Progress Has Not
Marched

A unique feature Of the Danbury
(Ct.) fair held during the first week
of October was the presence of ga
yoke of ponderous oxen engaged in
tests of strength or parading about
the grounds with their rural Transfers
guiding them with flick of the lash
from their long whips, which. were
laid over so gently about the heads
and shoulders of the patient beasts.
A western farmer may marvel that
this type of power is still being en-
ployed in Progressive United States,
but it seems that New Eng'an still
holds to the customs OF the past. How
ever, it is reported that there were
tractors galore at the fair, but they
were taken so matter-of- factly that
not one of them drew the attention
that did the oxen.

Tractor Interest in the South

The Farm Implement News reports
that tractor interest is gaining very
strongly in the Piedmont region of
the Carolinas. Recently demonstra-
ton was held the farm of Thomas
Eskew, a prominent South Carolina
power farmer, which was attended by
over thousand farmers from that
region. Twenty tons of corn for silos
was prepared and stored. A five acre
field was prepared for the planting of
crop of alfalfa, this task requiring
less that three hours.
The recent increase in the price of
cotton has increased the purchasing
power of southern farmers, with the
.esult that many farms are being i'm
proved with modern equipment. Trac-
tors are considered indispensable in
the diversified farming which is be-

Farm Prices Improving

At public sale held recently on a
farm near Dyer, Ind, there were good
indications that farm prices are climb
ing back to their old places.
Seed oats sold 13c higher than the
elevator price; standing corn in the
field went as high as $24.5O an acre.
Nineteen head of cattle averaged over
500 each, and one COW brought $195.
Horse prices, which were exceptional
ly low, were the only disappointing
feature, indicating the great effect the
use of tractors and other automotive
machinery has had upon the horse
market in this part of the country.

"Thc advantage Of garden tractor
work comes under the same head as
all other tractor labor4savers," says
A. j. Piper. an extensive grower Of
onions and onion sets, writing in the
Fruit Belt.
"You can do the same work and bet
ter work that would require several
men to do by hand in the same length
of time, which makes the labor saved
the big item, and especially is this so
at the present price of labor, and with
the difficulty of obtaining satisfac-
tory labor at all for that kind of
work"

Most of the ranchers who operate two
or more tractors have repair man
whose sole purpose is to keep repairs
in running order, and when a tractor
shows signs of needing attention it
gets it quickly.
