I Evidence of the growing popularity
of tractors on corn-belt farms is
.shown by reports made by more than
(>00 tractor owners, nine out of ten j
reporting t a*, heir investment in a
: actor hud , . o\ o profitable. Th so
I data were obt ii in the sum nu r

vlvit tractors will prove p vol'it able on
jj most corn-belt furms'of 180 acres or
ii.iore, while in their opinion they
should not be expected to do so on
farms of much loss than 130 acres.
The report ot the investigators, published
as Karnicrs' Hulletin 903, slat
es that while the figures were obtain
cd in only one State, they are applicable
throughout the corn belt and
that Clio prospective tractor purcha.s(
r may reasonably count upon equaling
the average performances reported
in the study.
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.
Under disadvantages the difficulty
of efficient operation was the principal
point, and this fact should bo

suggests till at tractor owners take a
course of training under competent

of such a t'ouise usually amply justify
the time and expense involved.

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. On about thr-c-fouitlis of.
the farms the tractor displaced about
throe horses, which represented .onehalf
of the cost of the tractor out it.

Freezone dries the moment it is applied,
and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
