Better Ideas
Every hour a tractor is oper
ated costs mopey. Even when it
is not 'being used a new 40 h.p.
tractor -still costs more than
your automobile costs per day
if parked on a parking meter.
Depreciation (and interest on machinery ‘are big items but io.-'
efficient use of that machinery
is plain wasteful.
•Many farmers being penny
Wise and pound foolish make
some glaring mistakes—we do
also. They attempt to save 'by
buying a piece of equipment not
suited to their own needs just
because it is cheaper, It may be
too large for available power or
on the other hand too small for
the tractor. Again just 'because
it was a bargain they purchase
specialized implements for too
small an acreage. True, a farmer
shouldn’t -put all his eggs in one
basket but too great a variety of
crops all requiring different
machinery can entail too large a
capital investment.
Efficient use of machinery is
said iby the experts to be 'the
secret. (Multiple hitches of var
ious implements is one answer.
This they say, is efficient to the
extent that the load is in pro
portion to -the power and trac
tion. iDraft of multiple hitches
increases very quickly as the
train grows longer. For instance
a cultivator followed by a har
row and cultipapker requires, al
most twice the horsepower as
the cultivator alone and the har
row and cultipacker together re
quire only one-half' as mulch as
the cultivator.
A slick .way to avoid this ef
fect of a long draft is to put
the smoothing (harrow under the
tongue of .the drill and the cul
tipacker (behind. This evens the
load considerably and we feel
after trying this little trick,,that
we are getting slightly higher
efficiency from our farm tractor
during the spring seeding.
Working a field in “lands” is
another costly system according
to engineers. They suggest work
ing t'he fields “round and round”
and plant it in the same manner.
If you feel you must work a
field both ways, diagonal work
ings will give the same results
and can save up to- 20 % in
operating hours—and' coSts. It
also seems to give*a more level
ing effect. The j?; only drawback
is that the cultivation must be
completed before the. seeding can
be started but-the savings' are
worth (the slight delay.
The wet

seeding certainly, to __ __
shown the wisdom of the round
and round method. There is no
doubt that >in the (larger fields
of today it is quite possible to be
caught with only half the field
planted. Comes harvest time the
outside of the field can _ be
swathed and combined without
any loss or inconvenience from
the later* planted crop. Even
with continuous seeding opera
tion two varieties can be planted
in the same large field simply
by putting in the earlier matur
ity one on the outside of the
perimeter. We have seen a hoe
crop planted in the centre of
large fields.
Eve^y farmer -has his own pet
method of spring seeding. Some
prefer discs, others cultivators.
The different . soils require dif
ferent techniques, but outside of
some slight weed control, quack
grass, etc., extra 'Cultivations are
considered to be (harmful in the
early spring, Soil compaction
from heavy tractors causes ex
tensive losses according to the
authorities. Engineers have
proven that discs require
h.p. to prepare a suitable seed
bed ,but they have a much
shorter iwork life than a cultiva
tor.
