BEMIDJI DAILY PIONE VOLUME XVII. NO. 167. PLOWING WITH TRACTOR HAS NEW PROBLEMS FOR SOLUTION Government Bulletin shows the Necessity of Laying Out Fields. MUCH TIME WASTED IN TURNING PLOWS Land Should Be Measured, Is Asserted By Government Bulletin. Washington, July 16.—Plowing with tractoys presents some prob- lems that never bother the man who uses horsedrawn implements. It is necessary to lay out fields, so that a high-class job of plowing can be done over the entire area with the minimum use of a horsedrawn plow in starting and finishing the wark, says Farmers’ Bulletin 1045, recently published by the United States de- partment of agriculture, which gives in detail some of the best methods for laying out land and plowing with tractors. The methods in general use are divided into two classes in the bulle- tin—those in which the plows are elévated and no plowing is done across the ends and those in which theé plows are left in the ground con- tinuously. In most cases better plowing can be done when the plows are idle across the ends of the field. and for this reason the methods of this class are more popular, but many farmers prefer the other methods, as they eliminate waste of time and la- ‘bor. Short Turms Awkward. Plowmen using tractors wish to reduce to a minimum the time spent in running apd in tupning with plows out of tgs ground, the Bulle- tin goes on. hile it is necessary to do some traveling while the plows are idle, care should be taken not to number of acres which can be plow- ed in a day, ma')ing the tractor that much less efficient. Short turns, however, are awkward for most tractors. and where such turns are necessary the operator often has more or less difficulty in getting the outfit in the correct position for starting into the new furrow at the right point. Some tractors turn more easily in one direction than others, and this should be taken into consideration in laying out the fields. The advantages of ‘plowing by the mgumd: in which tne plows are idle “across the ends of the field are that the short, awkward turns are elim- inated, except in some cases at the beginnings and ends of the lands, and usually less space will be left at the corners to be plowed with horses. The advantages of the other methods are that little or no time is lost in traveling with the plows out of the ground and that ordinarily the num- ber of dead furrows and back furrows will be considerably less. Measuring Land Accurately. In using the first-named methods it is necessary to measure the lands in the center of the field accurately, leaving an equal area on all sides of the field in which to turn the out- fit, and which can be plowed last by running the tractor completely around the field several times. If one end of the field is unfenced the outfit can be pulled out into a road or lane, or an adjoining field, for turning. It may be preferable to plow up to the fence on the two sides as the body of the field is being plowed, and leave the headland only across the end of the field which is fenced. The width of the headland will depend largely upon the turning radius of the tractor. With easily handled outfits it is not necessary to leave more than 15 or 20 feet, but plenty of room should always be left, and for this reason headlands 50 feet or more in width are preferable to narrower ones. If (he field is to be finished up in the best manner, with no irregular, unplowed strips between the land or at the edges. it is essential that care be taken to have the headland of the same width clear around the field, to have the distance measured exactly when starting new lands and ‘to have the first furrows as nearly straight as possible. A little extra time taken in measuring off the necessary distances and setting plenty of stakes for guidance, will nearly always be more than returned in saving time at the finish. MAY ELIMINATE LIQUOR FROM NATION'S HOMES Washington, July 16.—A mar's right to keep liquor in his own home, which stood the test before the house judiciary committee, must take its chances now in the house.

Paris, July 16.—A final armed struggle between the allies and the Hungarian reds. with Vienna as the supreme objective, was forseen to- day. The allies have reached the definite conclusion that Central and Southern Europe must be saved from the Bolsheviks and permitted to be- come the capital of a stable govern- ment. The peace outlook in Europe will be dubious for years to come. The Bolsheviki apparently realize, as fully as the Budapest dispatches indicated today, a combined allied yffensive under General D’Esperey is expected daily.
