One Of the greatest crimes Of the age
is the failure to use our knowledge.
Much is prod Iced with old, worn out
machinery and by out-of-date methods
because there is more profit to be made
by retaining the old methods than by
substituting new and uT T-to-date ma
chinery. This is especially true Of the
farming industry where old methods
are retained because the farmers can
only make bare existence and have
no capital to introduce new methods
with.
