slve for the amount of work done.
Many tractor owners have not deter
mined exactly what work they can
use their tractors for most profitably
and what should be done with horses.
The average cost per crop acre was
1857 per year for drawbar power for
all the farms This cost ranged from
1921 as the average for the fourth of
the farms with lowest costs to $4.76
for the fourth of the farms with high
est costs.
The tractors had been in use for %
months on an average and the first
cost had been Slab, about one-third
higher than the present price of trac-
tors of the same size and type. Dur
ing the year covered by the investiga-
ton the cost of fuel and oil was also
somewhat higher than at present On
account of these lower prices it is
estimated that the present cost of OPP
Grating tractors purchased at current
prices would be something like IS per
cent below the 1921 cost on these
farms.
Tractors Reduce Horses and Labor.
The effect of the addition Of the
tractor to the farm equipment was
shown In changes recorded after the
purchase of the tractor. On an aver
age, these farms had been increased
by so crop acres and there had been
Il reduction of IA months In the
amount of regular labor used. Three
and one-third head of work stock in
addition to those on hand at the time
of the investigations would have been
necessary If the work had all been
done with horses. The tractor owners
considered that they needed In addi-
tion to their tractors an average of
only SIS head, whereas they were actu-
ally keeping S.3 head.
Effect of Use of Tractors on Power
Costs.
There was net increase of 5000
ler farm In the combined cost of
,ower and labor due to the use of the
tractor, after deducting the cost of
keeping the work stock which had

WOMEN GIVE OUT

Homework is hard enough when
healthy. Every Pocomoke City
woman who is having backache, blue
and nervous spells, dizzy headaches
and kidney or bladder troubles,
should be glad to heed this Pocomoke

Mrs. v. v. Matthews, 926 End St.,
says: my kidneys annoyed me ana

Why Suffer from Rheumatism?

There are thousands OF schools

made to teach music" Mrs. Sharp
said. "Such a state OF affairs does
not seem to be possible. We hope
that there won't be one school In
Ohio which does not teach music in
the next few years"
Good singing" and good songs
are the elements OF the campaign for
