FAR WEST TRACTOR
REQUIREMENTS

In the evolution of California agri-
culture the tractor has played an
important r ole.l Confronted with
wide expanses of prairie lands, un-
usual climatic conditions and vary
ing soil textures, the limitations of
animal power were early recognized.
Tractors have been in use on The
ranches of California for over Is
years. In no other section of the
country has the tractor gained a
stronger foothold. In nc other Sec
tion is it more closely dove-tailed
into the outline of farm work.
During the rush season it is
quite customary for the larger opera
tors to run three rews in eight hour
shifts, and they not only want but
demand that a tractor work "a hours
q day, day in and day out, until the
rush season is ever. Ordinarily the
California rancher will get more
work out Of tractor in one season
than would result from several years
use in others agricultural sections.
Hence, study of the farm machin-

TRACTORS PULL TERRACING
MACHINES

The utility Of the tractor in re-
claiming and improving farm lands
by terracing inorder to prevent hill
side washing is being demonstrated
in number of states. Indiana is
the latest to take up the idea sys-
tematically. Prof. C. A. Norman
extension rural engineer from Pur-
due University has the Indiana de-
monstration work in charge.
Prof. Norman says that the sue
cess of the terracing will depend
largely upon the management Of the
terraces by the farmers after they
are made. Any terraces made in
the fall of the year should be seeded
to wheat, which will bind the top soil
and prevent surface washing. The
terraces must be watched closely and
* will be necessary to trim them &C.
casionally by using few shovels
full of dirt in one place and by using
a turning pillow in another. After
the terrace is once made and shaped
it will usually need but little atten-
ton however.

up three times day during the week
before marketing. By the latter feed
ing is meant that they are fed until
they leave the food and walk away.
Some turkey raisers feed wheat and
oats during the first Of the fattening
season. gradually changing to corn as
the weather becomes cooler. The ma
jority, however, begin feeding heavily
on corn about November L; and, since
turkeys are not accustomed to such
heavy feeding, scours often result, es-
pecially If new corn Is used Nev
corn can be fed safely II the turkeys
are gradually accustomed to 1t by
feeding lightly at first and more heav-
lily afte.ward.
Lose Flesh When Penned.
Confining turkeys during the fatten-
ing season to prevent their using so
much energy In ranging has been tried
TO some extent, but with very little
success, say poultry specialists Of the
Unitedf States Department of Agricul-
ture. Those confined to a pen cat
heartily for two or three days, but
after this they lose their appetite
and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On
allowing them free range again, they
pick up rapidly and are soon eating
as heartily rs ever. The better meth
Cd is to allow them free range, as II
keeps them In good. healthy condition.
and they are always eager to be fed.
Nuts OF various kinds are natural
fattening feed picked up by, the tur-
keys on the range. OF these beech
nuts, chestnuts. pecans, and acorns are
those most commonly found by them.
Many turkey growers In Texas depend
solely upon acorns for fattening their
turkeys, and when the mast is plenti-
ful the birds are marketed In fairly
good condition.

cry industry in California is not only
interesting within itself, but throws
some light on what may be expected
in the way of future developments
elsewhere.
In California the use Of tractors
is by no means limited to blowing
and harvesting. They are used more
extensively for belt work than in
other sections. Furthermore, their
use is not confined to conventional
ranch operations. Many machines
are sold for building roads, levees
and bitches. The logging camps Of
northern California offer a big mar
ket for the larger machines. Cali

MR.. HOWARD LOOKS AHEAD

James Z. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
has been a farmer all his life. He
has seen the introduction of the
tractor and other power farming ma
chinery, and has formed his mature
judgment of its economy through
personal use and observation. He
says: "The demand for more food
will continue more insistent with
the growing population of this coun-
try, and this means an increasing
use of the tractor and other power
machinery, in m0te intensive farm
ing methods"

bot went home satisfied that her hus-
band would not suffer discomfort while
she was away. She decided to say
nothing to anyone in the little village
but next morning she found that the
story of her intended visit was already
all over the place
Indeed, she had not entirely decided
on going; certainly not OF the date.

and told her that everyone knew she

he demanded selfishly
Mrs. Talbot considered. There was
only one person available-the pretty
stupid young girl who had been fool
ish," and what was now an outcast in
the narrow community.
But she could cook and she was a
neat housekeeper and willing worker
She would come for low wages and be
grateful for the home offered. Hell
life with her present "benefactor" was
anything but pleasant.
She mentioned her name-and the
expected storm descended

She looked to protest. But he had
left the room.
Yet her determination was not shak-

Next morning one of the farm hands
brought the wagon arouni for her. Jor-
dan said CURLY that he was too busy
to drive her to the station. His good
bye kiss was as brief auc cold as his

more.
But she said nothing. She climbed
