Tractors For Fall
PlowinE
Dear Sir:—
A few weeks ago a number of farm-
ere of this section intimated tbeir in-
tention of securing Tractors for fall
plowing, and suggested the advisability
of the lnformationureau of the Sea-
forth Food Production Assooiabion
negotiating with the Department of
Agriculture with the view of securing a
tractor for that purpose. Through,
the correspondence with the Depart-
ment it was ascertained the Goverh•
ment had a fleet of sixty tractors de-
signated for various portions of the
Province and the farmers of Huron in
0580 of special need could secure the
service of one or more of these tractors.
On Tuesday last there was a demon-
stration of two tractors at work on the
Neilson farm near Toronto under the
direction of the Reseurses Committee
and the machines proved to be a great
improvement on they old horse plowing
system. They plodded along at a rate
of more than two miles an hour, turning
over three furrows as they went, Ons
oftheee machines, drawing atwo_furrow
plow, can tarn over five agree of land in
a ten•hour day, whereas by the old
system not more than one and a half
acres can bs•turned iu the same time
They require the attention of only one
man,
With the aid of these machines it is
hoped by the Provincial Government to
reolahn for tee sowing of late crops the
half million acres of land that have
gone to pasture because of the inabilty:
Of its owners to cultivate it. This of
course would mean a great increase 0i
the 1918 crop,
The Government will demonstrate
for farmere'the possibilities of the farm
tractor and will organize aooieties to as
sist the farmer in securing these mach-
ines.
Farmere desirous of securing further
information regarding the means of
eecuring the tractors for fell ploughing
should communicate at once with any
member of the Seaforth Food Produc-
tion Association or with the chairman
of the Information bureau associated
therewith,
