WORSE THAN IRELAND'S.

An editorial in Farm and Fire
side draws attention to the Ameri-
can one-year lease system as fol-
lows:
ut is reproach to American ag-
riculture that SO many people on
March 1 are homeless. We used to
read with grief and indignation Of
the evictions of tenants in Ireland,
oblivious of the fact that our Amer
lean tenant system is as bad as that
of Ireland ever was, and not half so
good as Ireland's is now. This little
picture of the situation, written by
a victim of the system-a tenants
wife-shows a cheerfulness under
difficulties that is almost pitiful. But
who will deny that, as years pass,
this cheerfulness may turn to bitter
ness under the crushing difficulties
encountered by some of our Ameri-
can wanderers on the face of the
earth in search of homes"

MORE MACHINERY FOR FARM
only by It's More Extensive Use Can
AarleuIturlsts Meet Demand for
Greater Production.

The increased scarcity Of hired
men makes it necessary for each man
on the farm to work more land. The
increased demand for farm products
makes it necessary for him to farm
his land better, says the Prairie
Farmer.
There is only one way that he can
do these two things, and that is by
using more and larger machinery.
Where he has been driving two
horses he will have to drive four.
Where he has been driving four he
viii have to drive six or eight. In
many cases he will have to bring still
more power under his control by
using a tractor. --.-szs kssassls -.
No farmer can now afford to
pump water or shell corn by hand.
These and other tasks can be done
by machinery, and machinery will
have e Do them, The farmer must
buy machinery judiciously, for he
can easily bankrupt himself by buy
ing what he does not need But
whenever a machine can be made to
do work that a man has been doing
before, or wherever a machine will
enable one man to do the work Of
two, that machine is a profitable
part of the farm equipment.
American farmers lead the world
in the use of machinery. That is
one of the principal reasons why
they lead the world in prosperity.
We must make a still wider use of
machinery to meet the needs of the
future, for only in this way can we
multiply the work that one man can
do, and thus solve large part of
the farm labor problem.
