REDUCTION OF WORK STOCK Among Other Innovations Brought About Is Variation in Cropping System, Increase in Size of Farm and Fields. fPreDared by the United Statee Department of Agriculture.) ' Numerous changes In the organization and operation of a farm may be effected by the use of a tractor, according to recent Investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture. These changes may be a reduction In the number of work stock, Inchanges In cropping systems, an of the size farm, a crease In the a of size fields, In the saving change In man labor, and changes In livestock enterprises. Detailed results of stance tLj purchase of a tractor requires the further purchase of some machinery for use with It This machinery may be either for the drawbar, belt, or both. A practice which has met with success Is for several farmers to buy one or more belt machines especially a grain separator, thus enabling the farmers to do their own thrashing when they are ready. How Made Profitable. It Is obvious, say the authors, "that a tractor will not be profitable If It does not enable the farmer to do at least one of the following things: (1) reduce the number of work stock on the farm; (2) reduce the amount of hired help required; (3) farm an Increased acreage; or (4) Increase the amount of crops produced." On some farms where peculiar conditions may be present other changes of a minor nature may be made. Often these minor changes cannot be foretold, but will develop naturally after the tractor has been In use some time and has been fitted Into the work on the farm.

Reynoldson, Junior farm economist, and H. R. Tolley, agricultural engineer, are the authors. Reduction of Stock. The extent of the reduction In work stock depends primarily upon the number which are already owned, and the work which it Is planned to do with the tractor, says the bulletin. No rule is given to show In advance how many work stock can be disposed of on farms In general, but It Is said that on most corn-befarms enough horses will have to bj kept to cultivate corn and do the other necessary horse labor which comes at that time. Where hired help is employed during the year, all, or a part at least, of such help may be eliminated, according to the bulletin. On farms run without the use of hired help, the tractor will enable the operator to do his work In less time than he formerly did by combining different operations, such as disking and harrowing, and by performing his work at more opportune times. Where land is available, adjoining or in the vicinity of the farm. It may be possible to increase the number of acres In crops which can be handled with the same amount of man labor and number of horses as on the smaller acreage before a machine was purchased. Reduction In work stock and Increase in the size of the farm may often result in a change In the acres of different crops raised for feed and sale and In the rotation followed. Where the lay of the land permits, or additional, land is obtained close by, fields can be enlarged, resulting In more work being accomplished In a given time. Where permanent pastures occur, or the acreage in pasture Is not changed to conform to a reduced number of work stock, additional head of other stock can be carried.'
