RURRER co- B EnReties ¥ ~built to operate, with perfect ease, all the belt-driven machmery which any farmer may have occasion to use. Too much can not be said in favor of excess or reserve power in a farm tractor. The farmer has shown his natural tendency to overload his trac- tor, and I believe more tractor trou- bles have arisen in the field on this one account than any other. Having started with such a motor, the trans- mission, frame, wheels and all sup- porting parts of the tractor proper must be of such proportions that the motor will not tear them down with the strains of its high power on these peak loads, which it will be called upon to do. Tractor engineers and design- ers should always bear in mind that there is no such thing as the determination of a constant fac- tor of load put on a tractor in breaking ground. The strains and added loads in plowing come suddenly, intermittently, and everlastingly, and are superim- posed on the ordinary load due to the draft of the plows pulled on level ground in ordinary soil at level depths. It is the difference between a steady pull and a succession " of jerks or blows, and who ever believes the au- tomobile type of motor or tractor can stand up under this kind of work should give himself the benefit of the simple experiment of hitching an au-- tomobile to one end of a 50-foot cable and a telephone pole to the other, then start the machine ,at normal speed and take up the slack, and do this not once, but repeatedly during every day for the average number of plow- ing days a farm tractor is supposed to run. TRACTORS MUST MEET THE HARDEST TESTS One may, of course, find whole areas or whole seasons when the load factor in plowing is practically con- stant and steady, but these areas and seasons go without rule and are likely to change in different parts of the same month, township or farm even, and the designer who would have suc- cess must meet the hardest rather than the easiest conditions. the whole machine must be heavy enough to give required traction. ‘Lugs or grouters alone won’t do it. Lightness is not the sole desideratum. When a motor will spin the well- groutered wheels of the tractor on which- it is mounted, that tractor is as light as it ought to be. - Having produced the tractor that will efficiently do. the work intended, - there then remains the big factor of economy. This does mot mean fuel economy alone, but includes as well the answer to the question: How long will the tractor stand up? How many seasons is it good for? How many plow miles will it produce? There are certain fundamentals which we be- lieve to be essential to a tractor to do this class of work. These are, slow speed, heavy duty type of motors, two cylinders preferred, with fuel combination of oil, air and water so automatically controlled as instantly to meet each new condition of load, a spur-gear transmission mounted on a tractor frame, . enough and rugged enough to take all the strain put upon the tractor by its motor without. undue .- wear or breakage. The question of fuel econ- . omy is, of course, an important one. Tractors can be made which pro- duce as much power on a gallon of kerosene as on a gallon of gasoline. Such tractors. have been made and have been doing this for years, and since the cost of kerosene is ordinarily not over one-half the cost of gasoline, it is obvious that kerosene is the log- . ical fuel for a farm tractor. A fuel cost per acre plowed of - 45 cents is ‘DO UNCOMMON per- ( Finally . and wheels strong. ey e formance. -On such a basis, the plowing of 300 acres per year would amount to a saving of $135, and in a life of 10 years the sav- ing would equal the entire cost of many tractors capable of plowing 300 acres per year. The third and last job on the farm for mechanical power is transporta- tion over roads. The tractor which operates on the farm in doing the plowing and cultivating jobs must be geared at too low a speed to afford economy as a transportation medium. If you add a high-speed gear to your farm tractor to economize time in | transportation, you wil! tend to short- en the life of the machine. If the attempt be made to make up for the lack of speed by the amount of load hauled, this will involve such cleat or grouter equipment on the wheels of the tractor as to be destructive to good roads, and will prevent the general use of farm tractors on good roads for such purposes. THE LEAGUE VICTORY Rosalia, Wash. - Editor Nonpartisan Leader: It is with a great deal of pleasure that I learn that the League farmers in North Dakota won for all their laws in the referendum election June 26. That victory, with the last two court decisions, will surely mean much to the League in all the states. I am sure it will help the organizers in their work in Washington, as the farmers here have their eyes on North Dakota. The cover on the last issue of the Leader came just at the right.time, for if the. old bell can not ring out its notes declaring independence, the. echo of those notes of 143 years ago can still be heard from the organized farmers of North Dakota, proclaiming the SIgmng of another dec]aratlon of independence. And truly we can say it is for the same rights, “Representation in tax- ation and our rights.” May the shot the farmers of North Dakota fired be heard around the world, and especial- ly in the other 12 states that are now falling in line, and that the farmers in those states may take up the echo and keep it resounding throughout the United States. WILLIAM H SABIN. WHEAT AND JOE CANNON Tonasket, Wash. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am sending you a sample of seed wheat that was sold to me this spring by a seed merchant here. When I discovered that the wheat was rotten, I took it back to him, but he refused to accept it. I paid $2.40 a bushel for this rotten wheat. The same man that sold me this rotten wheat is one of the worst ene- mies of the League, and has made the remark in my presence that President Townley should be hung, and that all the League members should be hung with him. But when he talks with League .members, he tries to make them believe he is favorable to the League: I am also sending you a copy of the Congressional Record, containing a speech by Joe Cannon of Illinois, at- tacking labor unions and the Nonpar- tisan league.’ Uncle Joe says the farmers are borrowing money with the intention of getting rich with it. Mighty few farmers borrow money to get rich with. They know better than to try. They borrow money to keep on farming. - MARTIN SUPPAN. - FARMER CLUB ORGANIZATION Circular 23 by the extension divi- sion, North Dakota Agricultural col- lege, is on farmers’ clubs.
