ADDRESS 



THE IRRIGATION AGE, 30 No. Dearborn St., CHICAGO 



DEMAND FOR TRACTORS INCREASING 



Although the number of horses and mules in 

 this country is continually increasing, the demand 

 for power is increasing much more rapidly. Men 

 are learning to do more and more work by me- 

 chanical power. 



Small gasoline engines are being made use of 

 very largely, but a large portion of the power needed 

 must be in the form of draft. Hence it is necessary 

 to use the tractor. This very easily accounts for the 

 sale of such a vast number of tractors and the ever 

 increasing demand for this farm machine. It is 

 hard to understand how anyone can say the tractor 

 is a fad and back his belief by any sound reason- 

 ing. 



The tractor is not a fad, but a necessity with- 

 out which, in the present crisis, this and every other 

 warring nation would be in a sorry plight. It would 

 be impossible to maintain the army at the front 

 without tractors to convey food and to help with 

 the farming operations. 



Not only is the tractor necessary from this 

 standpoint, but it has been found more efficient 

 for many kinds of work and is therefore greatly in 

 demand for such operations. In the hot months 

 the farm horse is almost disabled by the effect of 

 heat. The tractor is then at its best.
