and horses were used.
What Farmers Think Of Tractors.
The OwEerS' opinions regarding the
use of tractors showed that ~ per
cent of the farmers interviewed be-
lieved that their tractors would be
profitable Investments, and 20 per cent
of them intended to buy others when
needed. TIE principal advantages
mentioned We're the ability to do more
work In gi"cn time, and the saving
of horses in AOt weather. Among the
disadvantages. the first cost and de-
probation ana the running expenses
were mentione.t most frequently. The
tractor wES Used as the primary
source of powe- for field work by 50
per cent of the owners, while II per
cent used the Tractors as supplement

cases the tractor owners believed that

some increased yield per acre.

The cost Of power on tractor farms
In the winter whent belt is somewhat
greater than when horses are used for
all the work. according to the results
of survey by the United States De
partmcnt of Agriculture. A prel!m-
mary report Just issued shows. how
ever. that three fourths Of the tractor
owners were Of the opinion that their
tractors were proving profitable.
This survey shows differences in the
cost or power and labor due TO tie use
OF tractors, the work done with them,
and the cost per acre for different oD-
erationS both with horses and tractors.
Some 354 tractor owners in northern
Oklahoma, Kansas and southern Ne
braska were visited and complete
record OF nll 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
600 acres in size, on which 1852 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 $484
for the year or $1.0O per hour. These
farmers were keeping an average Of
3D. head OF work stock 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 81, OPS.
The tractors furnished the power for
40 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 excess

sive for the amount Of work done.
Many tractor owners have not deter
mined exactly what work they can
use their tractors for most proftably
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
$2.21 rs the average for the fourth Of
the farms with lowest costs to 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 S1,473, about one-third
higher than the present price of trac-
tors of the same size and type. Dur
ing the year covered by the invPStiga-
t'on the cost Of fuel and oil was also
somewhat higher than at present. On
account Of these lower prices 1t is
estimated that the present cost Of op-
Grating tractors purcha sed 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 on aver
age, these farms had been increased
by 30 crop acres and there had been
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-
ton to their tractors an average OF
only 6.5 head, whereas they were actu-
ally keeping S.3 head.

HENRY CLAY IN IEWISBURG.

From q reproduction from the
Western Courier, a newspaper pub
lishcd in Charleston, Virginia, (now
West Virginia) reproduced in the
Charleston Gazette of last Sunday,
We note that on August the Goth,
1926 Henry Clay was entertained
by the people of LcwiSburg and
Grccnbricr county at a public din
her.
This will be 96 years ago next
August. About this time Henry Clay
was an aspirant for President of
the United Sites and it would seem
that Mr.. Clay was making an effort
to Justify his stand taken as a MEM
Der of the National House Of Rep
lrcScntativcS in The Presidential con
test growing out Of the election Of
1924. II will be remembered tihat
Andrew Jackson in that year re-
ceivcd more electoral votes for
president than any other man; John
Quincy Adams following with less
! number and several other candi-
dates with considerable of the cleo
toratc vote. No candidate had a ma
JorIty and under the Constitution
the election Went to The House of
Representatives. Jackson was from
Tennessee and Clay from Kentucky.
Clay at that time had powerful in
iiuence in Congress and he threw
himself with all his influence
against Jackson for Adams. This
was The burden of his mission in
stopping in Lcwisburg. The people
| OF the county from the reproduce
tlOn In the Gazette, are said to have
endorsed the stand taken DIV CLAW.
| This movement to GUST jackson
from the Presidency, he having
more electoral votes than any other
man and was the popular choice.
and tic final scaling Of John Quincy
Adams, was the first deliberate at
tempt 10 thwart the will of tho pco-
pie at an election. Ii was at this dime
the central west was opening I'D
ana the vote Was being extended for
the first time to all male white citi--
Zens. The next election Jackson had
come back and was elected by a
large Inajoriy and was afterwards
reelected. By This stand of Clay
against tie popular will forever
lost him the Presidency. There is
a lesson in This, to the man or sci of
men who attempt to dictate politi-
cal candidates or political measures
, Or to run The government for any
set or class. The comeback of
l"Ofd Hickory" in 1880 was the first
great comeback in the history of
ou country. Pennsylvania has long
| been under boss rule. The people
have come back. They will ever do
so. is Il part Of wisdom to direct
the people in intelligence. stability
and responsibility and not to
; ttwart their will.
Clay, with all his influence and
ability could not sec that the people
were coming into their own in this
country. He did not realize that
beneath his act was a force which
would come up and forever over
throw his fondest hopes to reach
the office of President.
