TRACTOR REDUCES COSTS

Reprinted from Bureau Farmer
Relying wholly on a tractor, trac-
tor plow, cultivator, sprayer, and
digger, Fred w. Peaslee, of Lancas-
ter, New Hampshire, raised 11,300
bushels of certified seed potatoes on
35 acres last year without the use of
a single horse. By means of this
equipment, Mr.. Peaslee reduced the
number of man-hours required to
grow an acre of potatoes to a.,
practically half of the state aver
age.
The field was cultivated six times
and sprayed seven times. About 13
hours of labor per acre were spent
in pulling out diseased plants and
wild mustard in order to meet the
requirements for certified seed. At
one operation the field was culti-
waited and sprayed by means of the
cultivating attachment and power
take-off driven sprayer. This was
done at the rate of 80 acres per day.
Mr.. Peaslee estimates his costs at
less than so cents per bushel.
