Tractors Increase
Farming Efficiency

Tractor use is given major
credit for increased farming eff.
ficiency, says Guy w. Gienger,
extension specialist, University
Of Maryland.
A recent issue of Agricultural
Engineering expresses it thus:
"The introduction of the inter.
nal combustion tractor on Amer
lean farms early In this cen.
tury was in fact the "open.se-
same that set in motion the
flood tide of mechanization Of
agriculture"
The USDA reported SIG mil.
lion tractors on A m erican
farms in 1859 which was more
than a two-fold increase since
1945.
To quote an old timer, IF
you can't do it from a tractor
seat, perhaps 1t should not be
DONE" (This includes self-pfo-
PEELED machines, of course.)
