Tractors Follow Floods

The Nile Valley isn't the only place
in the world that is enriched by flood
deposits. S. R. Ewing, of Greensboro,
KY, has a farm bordering the Ohio
River which at certain seasons of the
year is about one acre of land and S99
acres of Ohio River, but when the
foods recede he has 900 acres of rich
bottom land, which is veritable gold
mine.
For years this land was left idle be-
cause it was so wet at seeding time
that no seed could be planted. How
ever, Mr. Ewing has recently learned
how to handle the farm to the best ad-
vantage. He has learned what crops
will stand a certain degree of flooding
and he has also developed means by
which he can get his seeding done with
the utmost rapidity when he, has the
opportunity. For the latter purpose
he uses three tractors to pull the
plows and soil preparation machinery
and in this way the work is done
quickly with no waste OF time.

Dollars count on the big modern
farm of r. l. Billy of Skidmore, Mo-,
comprising several thousand acres,
and probably the largest farm in the
state. Mr.. Bilby has no time to fool
away on old machinery, or old and an
tiquated farming methods. His inter
ests are too big for that.
"My fall blowing is all finished and
my tractors and plsws are safely
housed in the Sheds" said Mr.. Bilby,
whose rule is to turn right in after
harvesting his wheat and oats and
break up the ground for fall seeding.
As a rule the ground is rather hard
during the month of August, and for
this reason blowing by team is big
undertaking. But on the Bilby farm
the ground is plowed anyway.
"As between the mules and the trac-
tor, the latter leads in several ways"
added Mr.. Billy. 81 have carefully
computed costs between mule teams
and gang plows, and the tractor, and
find a vast difference. Two men and
two tractors will pillow more land in a
day than four men and 16 mules with
gang plows. 1t costs me $3.50 day
to operate with the four men and 16
niles, wniie with the two men and two
tractors the cost was $1,000, a otter
ence of $50 per day. 1t cost me $1.36
an acre to pillow with the four men and
Is mules while the cost with the trac-
tors and two men was rs cents an
acre, considerable difference.
"The total value of 16 mules, their
harness and plows, exceeds the cost
of two tractors. And the tractors did
better work, as the ground was rather
hard, and with the mule teams they
could not pillow as deep as with the
tractors. Then, when the blowing is
finished, and the tractors are in the
shed, there is no expense or upkeep,
while in the case of the 16 mules we
must keep right on feeding and caring
for them" -Drovers Telegram.

Air Strainers on Tractors.

Some tractor owners do not seem to
realize that every attachment on a
standard machine is put there for
some purpose. No manufacturer
would spend money for an air strainer,
for instance, if without it the tractor
could live out its full expected life and
at the same time give satisfactory
service.
Observations made during the past
year show that on many tractor the
air strainer or cleaner was not in
working order. No tractor engineer
that we know of has been able to de-
sign an engine that will successfully
resist the scoring and excessive wear
ing action of dust on the walls, piston
rings, valves, bearings and in fact all
the inner working parts Of the engine,
and probably never will be able to do
so.
The tractor owner should thorough
ly understand that better operation
and increased life will result from
keeping the air cleaner working. 1t is
not at all an unusual thing for trac-
tor to suck in several pounds of dust,
per day, through the intake if 1T be
not equipped with an air strainer.

When Congressman Sidney Ander-
son declared that farming is 80 years
behind other American industries" in
modern methods, he probably voices
the belief of a majority of town folk
who give rural life hasty once-over.
To the casual visitor from the city,
agricultural undertakings seem inef-
ficiently and ineffectively carried on.
The most uninventive of store clerks
or office employees or school teachers,
watching the crop grower for a few
hours, will insist that his work could
be done better by the use of other
equipment.
The farmer does not spend all he
earns on machinery, it is true. A
modern factory could not be made
highly productive by his methods.
However, the factory owner usually
goes much in debt for his plant, ex-
pecting his operations to pay the ex-
pendiutre later. Were he able to ac-
complish quite as much by investment
of less money, knowing his competi-
tors were thus economically carrying
on their business, he probably would
choose the method of small outlay.
Going from well equipped-perhaps
overeequipped-city industrialism to
pass judgment on the farmers meth
cd Of working does not give US deduc-
tions of the highest value. The French
princess who asked why the people
who were starving for lack Of bread
did not eat cake might have suggested
no better method of passing upon eff
ticiency in agricultural pursuits, bu>
there are more useful ways.--St. Louis
Times.

Emil Sauerwein, who finds hay a
profitable crop on his farm near
Crookston, Nebr., finds a tractor al
most indispensable in his haying OPP
erations. He hitched four six foot
mowers and two twelve foot rakes be-
hind his tractor and cut and raked
1900 acres of hay. When cold wealth
err set in he hitched his tractor to the
hay baler and baled the whole crop.
After baling it, he drew it to market
with his machine, thus completing the
cycle Of work for the season. In ad-
dition to his hay harvest, Mr.. Sauer-
vein broke, seeded and harvested 300
acres of small grain with his tractor.
At the close of the seasons work, he
cleaned, CREASED and oiled the machine
and put it under dry shelter for the
winter.

The greatest cause of trouble in motor
machines is that many operators do
not understand and use the different
grades of oil properly.
my IDEAL" he said, "is to farm
without horses, farm more intensively
than the average farmer does, have a
patch of alfalfa or sweet clover, use
some lime and fertilizers, raise better
livestock, crops, and" emphatically,

Day of Power Farmer at Hand.

The day of the power farmer is at
hand, as will be evidenced by trips to
any of the representative farms in
this country 1t is to him that we
must turn in answer to the city's cry
for greater production. Food will
continue to be the biggest factor in
world economics for many years to
come; the golden age of ample food for
a minimum of effort has passed. Yes
terday it was production at any cost;
flood, more food, was one of the
great war cries. But today every
farmer fully realizes that it must be
the lowest possible cost of production.
The true test in any business is not
profits but economy in the opinion of
Charles NJ. Schwab. Profits may be
the result of good fortune of Aeeting
period of initiation, of temporary con
ditions of any kind, but business
structure which is built simply on the
profit sheet of the moment is built up
on the sands. The only business foun-
dations which are sure and steady are
erected upon the rock of economy.

NAMELEss MOUNTAINS

At least sixty mountains in Cali
fornia rise more than $4,000 feet above
sea level, but they stand amid a
wealth of mountain scenery so rich
and varied that they are not consid-
cred sufficiently noteworthy to be
named, according to the geological
survey, department of the interior.
Yet if any one of these unnamed
mountain peaks were in the eastern
part of the United States it would be-
visited annually by millions of people.
But California has seventy additional
mountain peaks more than $4,000 feet
high that have been named, or 1870 in
all, as well as dozen that rise above
$4,000 feet.

Rothamsted Approves Power Farming

A report relating to the utility of
the tractor in agricultural operations
comes from the famous Rothamsteu
experiment station in England, the
oldest agricultural experiment sta
ton IN the world. The Impleme.!t and
Machinery Review Of Londo@ in lis
summary of the Rothamsted report
states that the tractor has proved its
value in four directions. These are as
follows:
The tractor hastens cultivation by
moving at faster rate and doing
more work than horses can do, with
result that on heavy loans where
quick cultivation is necessary it can
easily be accomplished.
The second advantage relates to
cleaning stubbles in the autumn. The
tractor was literally used for cultivat-
ing the stubbles during the harvest
and much cleaning was done during
August, September and October, with
the result that land which was foul in
1919 became quite clean in 1920.
The third point is one of expense.
A tractor blowing an acre of land in
one-third the time and less than two
thirds the cost of the same work done
with horses.
Fourthly, the tractor makes it pos
sible for the farmer to increase his
efficiency by greatly extending his
output and simplifying the work of
cultivation.

New Type of Swedish Tractor.

A new type of tractor which is the
invention of two Swedish implement
designers is being developed in Amer
lea. 1t prepares the ground for seed
ing in one operation, the work being
done by a series of spade-like blades
operated somewhat after the fashion
of the forks on hay tedder. Ac-
cording to claims made by the ma
chine, it will prepare three acres of
land per hour to a depth of 16 inches,
using one gallon of gasoline.
