Irrigation Along Willi Tractors We'II see four major trends in mechanization of North Carolina agriculture in the immediate fu ture, Howard Ellis, head of agri cultural engineering Extension work at State Conege, told a newspaper-radio session in Ra leigh recently. They are: (1) more tractors and tractor equipment (2) greater use of electricity for farm power, (3) an even faster swing toward it i illation md ;,(4) more, , farm _ buildings designed for most effi cient use. Actually, emphasizes Ellis, me chanization means more that ma chinery and tractors. It includes electricity, irrigation and func tional buildings — everything which makes farm work easier and farming more efficient We had only 12,000 tractors in North Carolina in 1940, but 116, 000 in 1954, says Ellis. Manufac turers now are making small one row tractors and a wide variety of equipment to fit Southern farming. At the same time, only 63,000 of our 286,000 farms in North Ca rolina have a tractor—many of them two tractors. Plainly the door is wide open for more trac tors. Ellis says another 150,000 farms can be partially mechaniz ed, meaning an increase to at least 250,000 tractors. Most farms of 30 acres or more can justify at least paitial me chanization with a small one-row' tractor, explains the specialist. But on small farms especially you need to be careful that your in vestment per acre does not get too high. Machinery alone may cost S!()0 an acre and may still fall short of complete mechanization. Vet $100 is considered the most you can safely invest per acre in machinery. Km larger I arms (75 to 100 acres), the investment per acre should not exceed $75, even though this amount won't give you "you need. On farms of 150 to 300 acres, about $50 per acre invested in machinery should give you all you need. So for small farms ot around 30 acres and they make up a big share of our North Carolina farms they cannot hi* complete ly mechanized with machinery now available and still stay with in safe limits of investment. On electricity, we ve climbed from 34 percent of our North Ca rolina farms with electricity in 1940 to 94 per ivnt today. But there’s a tremendous lag in the use of labor-saving electrical equipment, declares Ellis. Only one-half of our farm families have mechanical refrigerators, about one-third have piped run ning water, less than one-half have washing machines and less than one family in 10 has a water heater Farmers could boost their in cnm< greatly hy using more pro ductive cloy-' cording to Ellis. One jor hurdles in stepping up to higher priced grade A milk pro duction is putting in special equipment like milk coolers and hot and cold running water. Elec trical power is a big help in this case. Irrigation js another paying step toward further mechaniza tion.
