SMALL TRACTOR IS GROWING IN FAVOR
1
The f .rm tractor is generally a
profitable Implement if enough land Is
cultivated to use it economically. This
Is the opinion expressed by three-
fonrths of the 200 tractor users in Illi-
nois to Investigators for the United
States department of agriculture.
About one-third of the men In this list
increased the acreage, on an average
120 acres to the farm, after buying the
used profitably: Two-plow tractoi
140 acres; three-plow tractor, 2V0
acres; four-plow tractor, 250 acres;
five-plow tractor, 320 acres.
The large tractor Is going out of
use on farms. Thirty-nine per cent of
the tractor owners estimate that a
four-plow tractor is the best size for
use on a 750-acre farm, while only 22
per cent of the men using tractors fa-
HARMFUL CHINCH BUG
Evident That Pest Is Threatening
Next Year's Crop.
One Plan of Eradication Is to Burn
Over Fields, Woods and Other Fa-
vorable Winter Quartern-
Heat Will Kill Many.
(By L. HASEMAN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
Judging from the numerous com-
plaints being received by the Missouri
agricultural experiment stntion, It
seems evident that the chinch bug lss

tlie state generally the chinch bug's
day was brought to a close by the
heavy rains of lOlfi, but as usual, there
were enough "for seed" this last!
spring, and with the unusually dry
summer just passed these increased
abundantly.
They seem to be most abundant In
the central part of the state. Through-
out most of the corn and wheat belts
of the state there are probably enough
bugs to cause severe outbreaks next
year, if weather conditions should bo
especially favorable for them. A
dry fall, mild winter, with but little
snow and rain, followed by a dry
spring and summer are the conditions
which will favor the pest. The chinch
bug is abundant now, due to the favor-
able summer just passed, but with
plenty of rainfall and snow during the1
fall, winter, and spring, the chances
will be decidedly against outbreaks
next summer.
Since it is not possible to know what
the fall, winter, and spring may have
In store In the way of favorable or.
unfavorable wont her, every farmer
should do everything possible to re-
duce the chance of . chinch-bug in-
juries next summer by getting rid of
favorable winter quarters. They winter
in dry, protected places, such as mead-
ows, pastures, and waste lands, in
woods, neglected fence rows, and sim-
ilar places. Very few winter in corn
fields or in wheat fields. After killing
frosts have cosne, select a dry day
when there is not too much wind and
burn over fields, woods, and other fa-
vorable winter quarters. The heat
will kill many of the bugs and expose
the rest to the winter and to natural
enemies. This pest can be fought suc-
cessfully at only two times during the
year, namely: while clustered in win-
ter quarters, and while migrating from
wheat to corn in the summer. Now is
the time to get ready to fight the pest
while in winter quarters ntid prevent
it from proving destructive next year.
A recurrence of this pest like the out-
breaks of 1012, 1!)13, and 1914, which
damaged Missouri crops at least ?">,-
000,000, should be prevented if possi-
ble.

tractors and finding that they did not
|iave room to use them to tlie best ad-
vantage.
The average size of the farm on
which the two-plow tractor is used is
270 acres. The average size of the
farms that make room for the five-
plow tractor is 420 acres.
Here is the minimum size of the
farm on which the Illinois tractor
Owners think their machines could be
vored the eight-plow machine. None
recommended one as large as ten-
plow.
That the small tractor is coming into
greater use in Minnesota is the re-
port of J. L. Mowry of the division of
agricultural engineering, University
farm, St. Paul. Many are favoring the
three or four-plow machines, while but
few find use for the large ones that
were often tried a few years ago.

BEWARE OF THE CROWN-GALL
Considerable Danger in Using Rasp-
berries as Fillers Among Fruit
Trees in Orchard.
There has come to be considerable
j danger in using raspberries as fillers
among fruit trees.
The crown-gall disease now fre-
| quently attacks the different varieties
of raspberries and will be communis
'cated from raspberries to the fruit
| trees growing in their vicinity.
It is therefore now considered the
safer plan to use the blackberries for
fillers among fruit trees rather than
raspberries.
