which most of us have little idea.
Before you decide that you don't
need one on your farm, you had best
look carefully into the subject and
see ii it will not be paying propo-
Sition.
We say this, not to boost tractors,
but to emphasize the fact that the
farmer must do what other men are
doing-increaSe his efficiency by
adding to the forces under his con-
troll, and that he must constantly
be on the alert to make his labor and
time count just as much as possible
by finding and using the cheapest
and most efficient sources of power
available.
Always and everywhere the far
mer with the greatest horsepower
and the most efficient implements
gets the most pay for his work.
This is why we continually urge our
readers to use more and larger
horses; to get more and better farm
equipment to get rid of stumpS,
.5;tches and other distractions in
th%<c, fields so they can use the
more modern machinery; and TO be
constantly on the lookout for any
new means of increasing their abil-
ity to do good work.
