 is so thoroughly well con- 

 structed that it is almost in-

the tractors, even though they were working at a 

 disadvantage on account of the weather. Also, this 

 man is an expert and has reduced the cost to a 

 minimum. The average man probably could not 

 put such soil under cultivation by the use of horses 

 at as low a cost as $6 per acre. 



The soil plowed was planted to beans and the 

 worth of the tractor for deep tilling was proved by 

 the growth of the crop. The saddest part of our 

 story is that the crop was destroyed by an excep- 

 tionally early frost. Up to that time, however, it 

 was considered the largest crop of beans ever raised 

 in Colorado. 



One man, experienced in the raising of beans, 

 inspected the crop after the pods were well filled 

 and the beans had passed the soft stage. He stated 

 that it would harvest 1,200 or 1,500 pounds to the 

 acre. Perhaps the best crop in that soil raised by 

 ordinary methods of cultivation would average 

 about 800 pounds to the acre. 



This experiment shows what deep tillage will 

 do and the value of it. It also shows the necessity 

 of using traction power for hauling deep-tilling 

 machines if the best results are to be obtained.
