FARM IMPLEMENTS IN TAS- 

 MANIA. 

 Much American Trade Lost Because 

 Patterns Do Not Suit. 



In reporting that there should be a 

 good market in Tasmania for Ameri- 

 can cultivating implements, Consul 

 Henry D. Baker, of Hobart, goes into 

 the following details: 



In these implements there is already 

 a fair trade, and in certain lines, such 

 as scufners and other market garden 

 tools, the makers from the United 

 States have the bulk of the trade. In 

 other and more important lines, such 

 as plows, cultivators and harrows, 

 there is a chance to largely increase the 

 business. As a fact, the trade with 

 the United States in many classes of 

 implements is smaller now than it was 

 ten yeais ago. The reason for this 

 seems to be that the patterns do not 

 suit tin- requirements ci the Tas- 

 maniau farmer. 



Cultivators and Plows. 



In regard to cultivators, few makers 

 in the United States make a spring- 

 toothed machine on high wheels. The 

 spring-tooth harrow with its low 

 wheels and frame close to the ground 

 is not entirely suitable, as the Tas- 

 mania farmers are cultivating their 

 land all through the winter months 

 when there are often only three fine 

 days in a week. 



Any low-framed cultivator will clog 

 til> in stubble land, and a large pro- 

 portion of the farmers use the high- 

 framed machines, which are mostly im- 

 i" ii-d from Canada. These Canadian 

 machines, including the duty, cost 

 about $(i0 landed in Tasmania, and re- 

 tail at. from $70 to $S0, according to 

 tli. terms of settlement. 



In plows the American patterns are 

 also said to be unsuitable. They have 

 had a fair trial, as some ten years ago 

 some of the largest importers obtained 

 shipments from some of the leading 

 makers in the United States, one In- 

 diana firm supplying as many as 3,000 

 plows in a single season. The reason 

 they were imported was very dry and 

 they sold readily. In the normal Tas- 



manian winter the American patterns 

 are not liked, as the short breast and 

 wide share cause them to clog up in 

 the clay soils. The market is almost 

 entirely supplied by Canadian makers, 

 who supply a plow made from patterns 

 brought over to Canada by the Scotch 

 immigrants. 



Manufacturers in the United States 

 do not seem to have made themselves 

 acquainted with Tasmanian require- 

 ments. For instance, when the Hobart 

 exhibition was opened an enterprising 

 firm in the United States stent out a 

 consignment of plows. Nearly all of 

 these were riding plows. As Tasma- 

 nian winters are cold, and much of 

 the land contains stones and roots, 

 riding plows are most unsuitable, par- 

 ticularly for British-trained farmers. 

 Further, many manufacturers are con- 

 stantly sending traders' catalogues of 

 corn-planting machines, corn har- 

 vesters, and shedders. As an acre of 

 corn has never ripened in Tasmania, 

 the climate being unsuitable, the send- 

 ing of this literature is wasted energy. 



It may be mentioned that Canadian 

 makers have imported plows from Tas- 

 mania for inspection and have made 

 up and exported to this State plows 

 made up in the same pattern. It 

 would certainly pay makers in the 

 United States to do the same.
