often the cost of using the tractors and keeping the
workstock excessive for the amount of work
DONE Many tractor owners have not determined
exactly what work they use their tractors for
most proftaby and what should be done with horses
The average cost per crop acre was $3.37 per
year for drawbar power for all the farms. This cost
ranged from $2.21 the average for the fourth of
the farms with lowest costs to $476 for the fourth
of the farms with highest costs.
The tractors had been in use for % months
average and the first cost had been $1,473, about
onethrd higher than the present price of tractors
of the size and type. During the year covered
by the investigation, the cost of fuel and oil
also somewhat higher than at present. On account
of these lower prices is estimated that the present
cost of operating tractors purchased at current
prices would be something like rs per cent below
the 1921 cost on these farms.
The effect of the addition of the tractor to the farm
equipment was shown in changes recorded after the
purchase of the tractor On average, these farms
had been increased by so crop and there had
been reduction of IA months in the amount of
regular labor used. Three and one-third head of
workstock in addition to those hand at the time
of the Investigations would have been necessary if
the work had all been done with horses. The trac-
tor considered that they needed in addition
to their tractors average of only 6.5 head
whereas they were actually keeping 83 head.
There a net increase of $206 per farm in
the combined cost of power and labor due to the

farms where. tractors are owned and
costs on farms of similar size and
type where tractors are not owned.
There was an average of 1O.5 head
of workstock on these farms, of
which .10.1 head were needed for the
work. One horse was needed for each
33 crop acres while the tractor owners
were keeping one for each AZ crop
acres and needed, in addition to their
tractors, only one for each 81 crop
acres.
The cost per head of keeping the
workstock was $66 per year where
tractors were not owned and $64
where they were owned. The horses
worked 482 hours per head on the
tractor farms and 624 hours on the
other farms. The cost per farm of
power for drawbar work where trac-
tors were not used was $701 as COM
pared with $1,025 where both tractors
and horses were used.
The owners opinion regarding the
use Of tractors showed that rs per
cent of the farmers interviewed be-
lieved that their tractors would be
profitable investments, and 72 per
cent of them intended to buy others
when needed. The principal advan-
tages mentioned were the ability to
do more work in a given time, and
the saving of horses in hot weather.
Among the disadvantages, the first
cost and depreciation and the running
expenses were mentioned most fire.

the primary source of power for field

while Al per cent used the tractors

States department of agriculture. A
preliminary report just issued shows,
however, that three-fourths of the
tractor owners were of the opinion
that their tractors were proving prof
liable.
This survey shows differences in the
cost of power and labor due to the use
of tractors, the work done with them,
and the cost per acre for different
operations both with horses and trac-
tors. Some 354 tractor owners in
northern Oklahoma, Kansas and
southern Nebraska were visited and
a complete record of all work done
with tractors and horses during the
year was obtained, together with
statements concerning the farmers
opinions Of the advantages and dis
advantages of using tractors. The
farms averaged about 500 acres in
size, on which 352 acres Of crops were
grown in 1921, nearly three-fourths
Of the crop area being in wheat.
COST AND PRACTICE
VARIES ON FARMS
The cost of using tractors for
drawbar work on these farms av-
eraged $484 for the year, or $1.60 per
hour. These farmers were keeping
an average of s.3 head of workstock
in addition to their tractors and the
cost per farm of keeping the work
stock for the year was $541. Thus
the total annual cost of power for
drawbar work was $1,025. The trac-
tors furnished the power for 40 per
cent of the drawbar work.

Which is right? What are the facts?
Recently we got report on the subject
from the United States department of agri-
culture. Such a report is official and ought
to be impartial. The report shows that trac-
tor power costs slightly more than horse
power, but that there are certain advantages
which tractors have which cause three
fourths of their farmer owners to prefer
them, after trying both tractors and horses,
or using them together on the same farm.

Had all the surplus horses been sold, there would
have been further reduction of about $115 per
farm in the cost Of horse labor. On many of the
farms there had been reduction Of feed for work

been taken into account further saving Of about

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW

It is gratifying to bave Major R. A.
Haynes, federal prohibition commissioner,
praise the enforcement of prohibition laws
in Alabama. Unquestionably violations are
less fragrant in this state than in many other
parts of the country. For this enforce
ment officers no doubt deserve credit,
though it is Also partly due to the strength
of prohibition sentiment in Alabama, which
was "dry" before the eighteenth amend
ment was enacted. But it should not be
overlooked that there is still considerable
law violation in this state. Distillers and
bootleggers have been by no means put out
Of business. By operating under cover in
stead of openly violating the law, they arc
less conspicuous to the casual observer. A
great deal remains to be done before it can
be said truthfully that prohibition is strictly
enforced. That will take time, unceasing
vigilance on the part Of officers and I'M
swerving allegiance to their oath to enforce
the law against any and all offenders.
Perhaps Major Haynes favorable I'M
preston was gained to some extent by
coming in contact with the best side, and
through additional precautions which may
have been taken to make good showing
while he is in Alabama.

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

The Central American conference now in
session in Washington Is full Of important
possibilities. The primary object of the
conference seems to be somewhat in doubt,
one group of delegates taking the view that
1t is to discuss questions of mutual interest
and advantage, while another group be-
lieves that the proposed union of all the
Central American states is Of foremost I'M
portance. There was some discussion on
the opening day as to the subjects admis-
sible to debate. Costa RIGA, for example,
opposes the union proposal and does not
want it even debated. That, however, IS
an unfortunate attitude. All subjects con-
sidered pertinent should be admitted to
debate, for without free and frank dis
cussion there cannot be established that
mutual understanding which is SO essential
to cooperation among the countries rep
resented. If unanimity of opinion is to be
regarded as prerequisite to the discussion
of subject, discussion would be needless
1t is probable that this fact will be appre-
ciated and that more liberal conduct Of
the conference will be allowed.
The Importance of this conference to the
OHlCeu ptdlSS Is Hdldly w bu VNSiCoblAhdlS0'
The result of successful attempt to reach
an understanding will mean a freer inter
change among the republics, more liberal
attitude towards industry, business, invest
ment and commerce, and the development
of profitable outside commercial relation
ships. Latin America is the most inviting
field for the investment of American enter
prise and capital. The republics have be-
gun to look to Americans more and more
for sympathy and support in their various
undertakings. 1t is responsibility and a
trust which we welcome, and which we
should foster by all the legitimate means
in our power. By a proper policy we can
develop at our very doors an unlimited
market for our surplus goods. The confer
ence now under way is laying the founda-
ton for a broader vision and policy among
Central Americans. We are the ones VINO
should build most acceptably on that foun-
dation.

immigrants the country needs, which has
been heretofore one of the most unsatis-
factory phases of the immigration question.
If the bars were let down we would be
swamped by people whom we neither want
nor need. Even under the per cent
ratio we are getting more immigrants If
this type than we need or want, while de-
sirable immigrants fall considerably below
their quota allowance.
Although pressure Is being brought to
bear by industrial leaders who want a
plentiful supply of cheap foreign labor, re-
gardess Of the moral effect 1t may have
on the country at large, and by certain
groups who seek admittance for aliens not
easily amagamated, there should be no
modification of the restrictions already In
force. On the contrary, greater care should
be exercised in selection. The per cent
law may not be the best that could be
devised, but it is marked improvement
on unrestricted immigration.
