L American Machine te Popular Among
Larger Farmere—Demand la In
' Excess ef Supply.
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.

A brief summary of the facts glvpn
In the preface to the three volume
French catalogue of the Hermitage
(Petrograd’s great art gallery) will
suffice to convey some Idea of the won

ings, of which 331 belonged to the Ital
ian school, 117 to, the Spanish school.
649 to the Germanic schools (Flemish.
Dutch and Genuen), eight to the Eng\
Hah school. 172 to the French school,
and 67 to the Rnssian school.
These 1.644 pictures were selected
from a tot si of more thaa 4,000 p*e-

- Mr. Leroy E. Duncan died at his
home in McCormick, Jan. 17, 1919, af-
:er an illness of only a few days with
nneumonia.
Mr. Duncan went from his home
here to McCormick about ten. years
ago and made his Home there until
his death. In 1912 he was married to
Miss Ruth Price, daugnter of Mr. and
Mrs. T. J. Price, and she with two
children, Edna, aged six years and
Sarah Francis, aged eight months, sur
vive him, besides his rdother and five
sifters and five brothers in Barn

the cemetery at McCormnck in the
presence of a large number of sorrorw-
ing friends.
„ .Though physicians- and nurses did
;they, could, God in'His wisdom
called him home. It seems hard for-
us to Understand why God takes from

to serve his God.

Sugar Acreage In India.
British India’s sugar cane acreage
!• from C to 10 per cent larger, accord-
Ihg to the second official crop estimate
for 1917-18. This forecast Is based on
reports furnished by provinces that
contain 99 per cent of the sugar nreg
t Yi-rr nr. wi»
against an estimated 2.340,000 acres a!
the corresponding date a year ago, ad
Increase of 10 per cent. As compared
with the final estimate (2,414.000
acres) for 1916-17, the present estimate
shows an increase of 6 per cent.
The Indian Trade Journal states
that, while the crop was affected to a
certain extent by heavy rain an4-floods
in low-lying areas in parts of the Unit
ed Provinces, the Punjab and Bengal,
and by disease and insect pests in
some of the eastern districts of the
United Provinces, the prospects of th*
crop* on the whole, are good.
