The use of tractors In Scotland for fanning purposes has increased re markably during the past two years, and the present demand is far In ex cess of the supply, writes Vice Consul E. R. Pottle, Dundee. The very high prices and costly upkeeps of farm horses, added to the heavier expenses for labor, have compelled the larger farmers to be on the lookout fbr the best type of utility tractor. The necessary points seem to be: Sufficient power with" a reserve; strength and simplicity of construc tion ; ability to run on common paraffin with economical consumption; capa ble of being operated by one man; toughness and durability of parts; easy adjustment; and abil ity to pull harrows, rollers, cultiva tors, etc., over broken ground. A local Tanners’ association has stated that it would be dlficult for any other class of farmers than those cultivating more than 160 acres to make use economically of tractors, un less the smaller farmers can combine to use one tractor among several of them. There is no doubt that tractors have come to stay, and It is only a question of a short time until a hiring system will be found which will work con veniently and economically in much the same way as in thrashing. Sev eral American tractors already are on the Scottish market, In limited num bers on account of import restrictions, but experience has given the Scottish farmer great confidence In any Ameri can make of farm machinery, and doubtless there will be a great demand for;American tractors after the war.
