Excerpt from The Tractor on California Farms <p>The purpose of this publication is to aid the farmers of California in the choice and successful operation of their field power and to impress upon manufacturers and dealers the need of supplying tractors of the proper design and type to meet the special require ments for farming in California. <p>The information contained in this bulletin is based on data obtained from replies to Questionnaires mailed in 1924, to all known tractor owners in the State, and from contact With tractor owners at short courses and in connection with other extension activities. <p>Many of the photographs in this bulletin illustrate the less common uses of tractors. In general, the tractor should be economically em ployed more hours per year, thus reducing the cost per hour by distributing the fixed charges over a longer period of use. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
