TRACTORS AND HORSES IN THE WINTER WHEAT BELT. 31 
No values for the different kinds of pasture are available for the years 
of 1922 and 1923, but the value of pasture follows closely changes in 
the value of hay. 
The costs of feed, as shown in Tables 32 and 33, were obtained by 
using the amounts shown in Table 30, and the values for corn, oats, 
barley, and hay, as shown in Table 31, reduced the percentages given 
above. - The value of pasture was reduced in the same proportion as 
hay. 
The reports of the Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates also 
show that the farm value of horses in Kansas for the year ended August 
1, 1922, was 75 per cent, and for the year ended August 1, 1923, 67 
per cent of the value during the year covered by the survey. The 
interest and depreciation charges as shown in Table 29 were reduced 
by these percentages to obtain the corresponding figures in Tables 32 
and 33. No change has been made in the charges for chores, harness, 
shoeing, and veterinary, and none in the credits for manure and coits.
