Farm Machinery

"V"S tV0SVu"Cs|
Much interest has been aroused by
the. statement. that. Henry Ford is
soon to put on the market a farm
tractor suited for work on the small
farms
A great deal of farm machinery has
been perfected in the last few years.
Perhaps one reoson why the farmers
seem slow in equipping themselves
with these appliances is that each man
feels he must have Il complete set OF
these machines OF his own.
1t is expensive business owning a
machine that may be idle all but a few
months of the year. If farmers were
more systematic and better trained in
the idea of cooperation, it would seem
as il several farmers could club to-
gether to buy the machins that no one
of them would feel like buying for his
own use alone. By little advance
planning they could arrange to take
turns in using these machines. AS labor
grows scarce and high, some method
of substituting the motor for human
muscle has to be studied out.
