BUYS TRACTOR;
QUITS FARMING

Mrs. F. J. Melrose purchased trac-
tor and equipment this spring and la
ter decided to sell out and quit farm
ing. The farm editor was one who
attended the sale recently. The Mel
rose farm, especially the land visible
from the buildings, is ideal. A field OF
over five acres is cleared and nearly
all plowed. They had splendid team
of horses that were all sufficient to do
the work of this farm, still they
deemed it necessary to buy tractor
outfit.
On new farm a tractor outfit is Of
ten a burden. If one has team they
must be fed and if they are left idle
while the tractor works, the invest
ment Of the team and the cost Of their
feed and care should be added to the
cost of operating the tractor. There
is a lot of hard work such as picking
I'D small stuff and stone that can be
done more economically with team
than in any other way on these new
farms. The tractor outfit means plOw-
ing every acre available. This means
farming which needs horses.
This defeats the Rusk county plan
which has been proven to be the best
for this country.
Place For Tractor
This article is not written to dis
credit tractors and power machinery,
it is written for the purpose of holding
the settler back until he is sure he
knows that he is ready to use tractor
to good advantage and make it pay in
terest on the investment.
A good tractor will do the work OF
four to forty horses according to its
size. According to this one should
have plenty of work through the sum-
mer for more than four horses to make
small tractor profitable. One team
is necessary on each farm for work
tractor cannot do. A team is handy
combination with a tractor.
We believe that if tractors are sold
only to those fully able to make good
use of them that tractor sales will in
crease in the time to come as they
undoubtedly have big place in di-
versified farming.

a barn this summer.

We Want Figures

We appreciate criticism from any
subject pertaining to clearing land,
farming, or raising livestock.
We would like to have Mr.. House
holder give us a plan whereby land
containing 4S to 20 solid white pine
stumps and the usual amount of logs
and hardwood stumps per acre, could
be handled in more economical way
than by the Rusk County Plan. Sure
ly to clear an acre of this kind of land
by any other method would be prohib-
itively high. We will gladly publish
facts and figures on any other method,
