The Tractor's Principal Advantages. Nearly three-fourth (71 per rmt) of those who reported owned tractors capable of pulling three ] ows. Eleven per cent recommen itwo-plow machines, while 13 per c? nt advocated the use of four plows. In answer to the question "What do ycu find to be the principal advantage of a tractor for farm work?" the Yiswors indicated that its ability do heavy work and do it quickly, lhu> .?< vcring tho desired acreage within .he proper season, was considered jtTe principal advantage. The saving j of man power* and the doing a\va\ ; j with hired help, enabling a man v< } farm a larger acreage and thus incjease the crops he can raise, was next in importance. The ability to plow to _i goorl depth, especially in hot weather, was -also emphasized.

Increased Acreage and Better'Quality of Wcrk. * Approximately one-third of all the Illinois farmers reporting increased :he acreage they wore farming after r>urcha*ing a machine. It is obvious- \ y impossible to determine tie finitely the probable life of the latest model tractors, since none of them is worn >ut, but the average time as stated in the report was from 7 1-2 to 8 years. The life of a tractor will depend iipon the amount of work done each | yc ar?that is. the number of days or l-.'uuv i' ?s us"'!. Reports show that I'a.' -vs v.-cre v-secl on the average of 45 days per year. The area covered per day (10 net working hours) in ( plowing with the tractors was 6 1-2, 8 1-4 and 10 acres for the two, three, and four plow outfits, respectively. The average depth of plowing was slightly less than 7 inches, while the average depth on (ho same fi rms with horses was about 5 1-2 inches. About 50 per cent of the tractor own ors reported that the quality of work done by tractors is better than that dene by horses, while loss than 8 per cent said it is poorer. Thirty-six per J cent of the owners reported that no | t'.nc was lest in the field on account , c-i trouble with their ovtf ts, while j those who reported trcidde st tod 1 1 # i that the average time lost was a little over three-quart, rs of an hour j per day.
