The success of the fnjm tractor as a. moans of facilitating the work of the farmer and saving horse liYbour is not regarded by -S)r James Wilson, president of the New Zpahupl Farmers’ Union, as very pronounced. “As fains I am able to judge,” paid Sir Janies, in an address to the delegates to the annual conference of the union yesterday, “the farm tractor has not been a general success. In some parts of the Dominion, especially in the Auckland province, they have certainly assisted in bringing laud into use; but for farm work generally the tractor has yet, I am afraid, not ‘arrived/ ns the French sav. Perhaps in certain seasons, in the rush of work, they might he useful, when cost of prorfhetion is not the only consideration. It is to he regretted that we have not yet evolved a mechanical horse, to cheapen the cosrt and come into general use, because increased production is demanded of us.”
