Wausau dealers in farm machinery
inform us that this year has furnished
the banner season for the sale of ma
chinery. They attribute the large sales
to two reasons. One is that the Mara
thon county farmer is prosperous and
is receiving good prices for everything
he has to sell, the other is that farm
labor is exceedingly scarce and the
thrifty farmer must resort to machin-
cry for his help. The latter reason is
perhaps the more important of the two.
