The greatest single advantage of the trac-or is that it enables the owner to :eep his work up to date. Other advantages are reduction of hired help and horses required to operate these farms. Tractor owners were able to take advantage of these reductions when tractors were operated at least SO to 40 days per year. Tractors were operated under greatly varying conditions, however, land operation seems inadvisable where fields are too hilly, too stoney or sandy. Such conditions together with small farms, high initial cost, high cost of fuel and insufficient operators were given as the chief reason tractor failure. The smallest number of cultivated areas recommended by these tractor owners on which to purchase a tractor was 100 acres. The cost of tractor operation is made up of two major items, namely, overhead and direct operating c The direct operating cost includes fuel, oil and wages of operator. Overhead includes depreciation, interest d repairs. The overhead charges are prorated against the amount of work the tractor does annually. Two-plow tractors in the East and B.C. \ used an average of 55 days, per j with the resulting low cost of $8.68 per 10-hour day. Three-plow tractors were used 48 days per year and had a daily operating cost of $10.22. These costs include the operator's wages at $3.00 per day. *Tn operation the tractor greatly increases the amount of available r. In ploughing, the small tract-ill do the work of six horses, while for discing, cultivating and " will do the work of at four horses, results of this survey, then, show that the tractor will frequently prove a very profitable investment, but as there are many jobs that can be done more economically with horses, the place of the tractor is to sup-pliment the work of horses.
