sive Tor the amount OF work done.
Many tractor owners have not deter
mined exactly what work they can
use their tractors for most probably
and what should be done with horses.
The average cost per crop acre was
$3-57 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 70 S4.76
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 S1.4T3. 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 il is
estimated that the present cost of OPP
Grating tractors purchased ar current
prices would be something like % per
cent below the 1921 cost on these
farms.
Tractors Reduce Horses and Labor.
The effect of the addition of the
tractor 10 the farm equipment was
shown in changes recorded after the
purchase of the tractor. On an aver
age. these farms had been increased
by 80 crop acres and there had been

erations both with horses and tractors.
Some 354 tractor owners in northern
Oklahoma, Kansas and southern Ne
braska were visited and a complete
record Of all work done with tractors
and horses during the year was OBJ
tanned, together with statements con-
corning the farmers opinions of the
advantages and disadvantages of using
tractors. The farms averaged about
500 acres in size, on which $50 acres
of crops were grown in 1921, nearly
three-fourths Of the crop area being
in wheat.
The cost of using tractors for draw
bar work on these farms averaged $4S4
for the year, or S1.0O per hour. These
farmers were keeping an average of
SIS head OF work stock in addition to
their tractors and the cost per farm
of keeping the work stock for the year
was S541. Thus the total annual cost
of power for drawbar work was s., OBS.
The tractors furnished the power for
20 per cent of the drawbar work.
Variations In Cost of Power.
There were great variations In the
practices and costs on individual
farms and the results indicate that
often the cost of using the tractors
and keeping the work stock was exces-

Here's Good Aduice: Relieve Your
Fatigue With Sleep. Avoid StimuLants

THERE is nothing In the world
= so reconsuuctive as sound, re-
freshing sleep. During sleep the
system rids itself of the fatigue
poisons that have accumulated
during the day. The food ele-
ments are taken up by the various
tissues that require rebuilding nu-

1t is important that you get
plenty of health-bringing sleep.
Anything that interferes with your

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 add
ton 70 their tractors an average OF
only 6.5 head, whereas they were actu-
ally keeping S.3 head.
Effect of Use of Tractors on Power
Costs.
There was a net increase of S206
per farm In the combined cost Of
power and labor due TO the use of the
tractor, after deducting the cost Of
keeping the work stock which had
been displaced and the value of the
family and hired labor saved.
Had all the surplus horses been
sold there would have been a further
reduction of about S115 per farm in
the cost of horse labor On many Of
the farms there had been a reduction
of feed for work stock due TO the use
of the tractor, and If this had been
taken into account a further saving
of about S47 per farm would have
been shown.

power and man labor for different
operations when done with tractors

WESTON, Or, Nov. 17.-The Com

evening at the club room last Satur-
day. Following the usual routine of
business was an hours program, con-
sisting of music recitations, songs and
story telling. After which very de-
licious lunch was served by the club
ladies.
The club president advanced the
idea that the club cooperate with the
school directors in the purchase of a
piano for use in school exercises and
programs and will also, be used in
community club programs. The idea
was received with favor, a proposition
was made to the school board and ac-
cepted by same. The directors re-
quested the school clerk to advertise
in the daily East Oregonian for a
second hand piano.
Beginning Nov. 16 and continuing to
the 2S, the Bretherin (called Dunk
ards) will hold a series of meetings
here. The meetings will perhaps be
held in the school house as it is more
centrally located in the community,
than is the church.
