WHAT MACHINERY
/ SHOULD BE BOUGHT
High.Priced Machines Lie Idle Too
Much Of the Time-Co-operative
Buying Suggested.

by c. E. Alfred, Division of Exten,
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
This is the age of machinery. In
fact, machinery enables the small
number of farmers to grow food
enough to support the large number OF
persons who are engaged in the many
other industries. The farmers must
determine what machinery to buy,
what makes are best, and how to han.
die machinery to get the fullest use
of it.
Whether or not it will pay to buy
any particular machine depends on
ID where the machine is to be used,
(2) the possibility Of hiring the work
done at the desired time, and (3)
how much the capital is needed for
other purposes.
In every community there are farm.
ers who have too little machinery for
their farms, and about the same mum.
Der who have too much. One extreme
is as bad as the other. 1t does not pay
to keep a 500 machine when 1t is used
only two or three days a year, as this
makes the cost for repairs, interest,
and depreciation from 81 to $40 a day.
The work can be hired done for less
than this.
, A better method is for two or more
farmers TO buy a machine in partner.
ship. In order to avoid confusion each
man should understand definitely when
he may expect the use OF the machine.
Who is to house it and repair 1t should
be known
The young man who is short OF
money can often buy most Of his ma
chinery at public sales and save con,
siderable of his money for other uses,

very chesply in this way. The man

countries and compels the farmer to
compete with wild men who live in
trees and caves and raise their chill
dren in nakedness and ignorance. The
only purpose and the only result Of
taking agricultural products off the

list was to reduce the price. The act
was therefore deliberately unfriendly
to the farmers of the nation. The next
session of congress should revise the
tariff and get back to the soil with
