COMMERCE
One-sixth of the time ships save in using the Panama
Canal pays their tolls. This is simply a saving in
boat operation; the saving in speeding merchandise
to markets is an additional gain.
The Panama Canal is a spectacular demonstration
of countless similar savings to commerce through
viaducts, highways, tunnels and bridges shortening
routes and making them safer through Portland
Cement.
Atlas is also making homes safer and more perma-
nent. If you plan building, ask your dealer how and
where you can be benefited in using ‘‘the Standard

Tractors Useful
on Wheat Farms
Farmer Is Enabled to Do
More Work in Given Time
—A Big Advantage.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In the opinion of most tractor own-
ers in the winter wheat belt the great-
est advantage In owning a tractor Is
that it enables them to do more work
in a given time. Saving horses In hot
weather and Increased yields are ad-
vantages mentioned by others. These
facts were brought out In a study re
cently concluded by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The de
partment points out that such factors
as these cannot be measured in dol-
lars and cents, but must be considered
in determining whether or not a trac-
tor is profitable on any farm. First
cost, depreciation, and running ex-
pense are considered by some men the
greatest disadvantages ip the owner
ship and use of a tractor.
Used for Fall Plowing.
On farms In the winter wheat belt
for fall plowing, very little spring
plowing being done, and for fitting
ground after plowing in preparation
for seeding. Tractors are used for
slightly less than one-half of the
drilling and a little more than one-half
of the harvesting. Except for very
light operations and running large
grain separators, many farmers use
thelr outfits for all of their belt work.
For cultivating, haying, stacking grain,
drawing header wagons,
dled grain to the thresher and threshed
grain to the bin, and for harvesting
row crops, horses are used almost ex-
clusively. On the average the tractors
do 40 per cent of all the
work on the farms where they are
owned.
Tractor owners In the winter wheat
in the total amount of hired and fam-
{ly labor for about ome and one-half
months. These same men are now
keeping an average of eight head of
work stock—one for each 42 crop
acres—where they had 11 head before
the tractors were purchased. Many
farmers reported that the number of
horses could be still further reduced.
The annual cost of power on farms
in the winter wheat belt where trac-
tors are owned has been decreasing
each year since the peak of 1820. Con-
sidered separately, however, the cost
of keeping the horses was slightly
higher In 1923 than it was In 1022 be
cause of Increased feed costs. while
the cost of power furnished by tractors
was slightly lower In 1023 than in
1922.
Variation In Cost,
There is always a wide variation In
the cost of power on individual farms;
farms as on others of the same size
However, with the proper
tractor and work

there would be a considerable

Two Methods Given for
Johnson grass is best eradicated by
one of two methods. When there are
comparatively few spots of Johnson
grass on the farm, plow up these spots
in the fall or early spring, and grub
out by hand all the root systems pos
gible. For the first two seasons go
over these spots every few days grub-
bing up all roots whose location Is In-
dicated by plants, When the farm Is
badly infested, fence the field hog-
tight, plow up In the fall and run hogs
on the plowed ground during the win-
ter, allowing them to work the ground
for the roots. This method if prac-
ticed every few years, while it will not
entirely kill out Johnson grass, will
keep it down where it will do little
or no damage to other growing crops.
Where Johnson grass Is located In
spots on land that cannot be handled
as described, then these spots should
be covered with straw and left that
way for several years—C. A. Heim,
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Obtain Greater Yields
From Smaller Acreage
It would seem foolish to have to cul-
tivate five acres of potatoes, row after
row of them, to get the same number
of bushels that some men get on a
single sere, wouldn't it? But that is
a frequent occurrence. The fact that
a man grows five times as many rows
of potatoes does not promise him five
times as many bushels each season.
Rather plant fewer hills, and put the
extra time In manuring and mulching
and weeding, and get bigger yields
from smaller acreage. Instead of
growing the 40 bushels on an acre,
els are being grown by many farmers
on a quarter of an acre. That leaves
more garden space, and is nothing
else than “good business and good
farming.”

Mr, Tenny pointed out that the farmer
is essentially a manufacturer and Is
confronted with the same marketing
problems as the manufacturer of any
other product.
“The farmer has the same right to
control and solve these economic ques

Tenny sald. “Individual effort cannot
