i(1408 Meht. Kocabey).

i(1409 Kazim) - uses horses for all farm work. He lives entirely in Elba.
{Tractors v. Horses}
i(1412 Sadik) has been away working, inc. a period in Jordan.
i(1409 Kazim) appeared to favour horses. He said: Horses cost very ltitle, eat 150 inik p.a. 1 inik costs 500 TL., so 75,000 TL. p.a. plus labour (less value
of foals).
[not much against a tractor]
i(1412 Sadik) said "Tractor iyi" {gl : "tractors are good"}. They do not buy one because "g yetmiyor" {?} [cf. i(0018 Emir Aksoyb) bought it as an
investment.]
His years in Urdun were not all that profitable (?).
Tractor costs millions TL.
