Tractors Continue
To Supplant Horses,
Even in War Period
Number of Work Animals
On Farms the Lowest
In Fifty Years.

Although gasoline is rationed. re-
pair parts are hard to get, and
new machines scarce tractors are
steadily displacing horses and mules
during the war period, thus continu-
ing a trend that has been going on
for Is years. There are fewer
work animals on farms today than
at any time in more than so years,
according to the department of agri-
culture.
With production needs at their
present high level, it is estimated
that it would be necessary to place
20 million head of work stock on
farms in order to have as much
power in relation to cropland as
was the case in 19lO-were it not
for the tractors and other machine
power.
The number of work animals has
declined about nine million head
since 1920, or As per cent, govern
ment figures show. In their place
are some 100, 900 farm tractors.
plus the influence of about two mil
lion farm automobiles and about
900, 900 farm motor trucks added to
farm equipment since 1920.
Tractors are believed to supply
around so per cent of the total farm
draw-bar work, although only about
30 per cent of the farmers in 1914
will own tractors. Government fig
ures show that in 1889 there were
about 400, 900 fewer tractors than
are now on farms, with SO per cent
of the farms in the country depend
ing principally upon animal power.
Nearly "a per cen had neither trac-
tors nor work animals. The remain
ing farms reported tractor power,
most of them also employing ONE
work animals.
Tractor farms are large farms.
however, it is pointed out, and in
1899 when they totaled about % per
cent of the farm numbers, they con
tributed about half the value of
products sold, traded, and used in
the farm home.
Larger Acreage Harvested.
Surveys in 1912 showed that the
harvested cropland per farm where
tractors were employed was on an
average more than three times that
of farms relying on animal power
for draw-bar work. While most of
the tractor farms also utilize animal
power, the tractors at the same time
contribute to the power needs of 9TH
er farms.
Wide variations were reported in
the displacement Of work animals
by tractor power. While average
displacement on 10, 600 tractor farms
included in the 1913 survey was "a
head per tractor, numbers of work
animals actually displaced ranged
from about 2 head to somewhat
more than 10 head in different state
groups. These fluctuations reflected
mainly differences in tractor size
and the effectiveness of tractor Use
How hard animals work on farms
appears to be dependent upon the
region in which they are located,
government reports show. Average
time worked per head for all report
ing farms was 1886 hours in 1912. but
in the southeastern and Delta states,
more than 60 per cent of the work
stock were used 1000 or more hours.
At the same time, less than Is per
cent of the animals in the Pacific
coast and Mountain states worked
1000 hours or more. Variations were
observed not in regions and states,
