A New Profession.

With the change of times. comes
new occupations to meet new con-
ditions. There is rapidly approach
ing an age of machinery on the farm.
A good tractor will do the work of
five men and five two-hOrse teams
on the preparation of soil for crops.
blowing, narrowing and seeding all
at one operation. and one man to
run the machine and one to look
after the trail. The same tractor
canbe made to run the thresher
the silO cutter, the shredder.
The up-t6-date farm employs mo-
tor trucks instead of horses and
teams. 1t has its own electric light
plant operated by a gasoline engine,
has its own waterworks. its own
dairy machinery and perhaps refrig-
Grating machinery and the like. So
there has arisen a demand for men
who can 90 on farm and look af
ter the machinery, operate it, repair
it, keep it in shape.
This sort of work is now called
farm mechanics and is recognize
ed trade. The Federal Board for
Vocational Education. in retaining
disabled soldiers and sailors, is max
ting somewhat of speciality of farm
in nearly every instance.
for the raw material some
former farm boy who has the basic
of agriculture necessary
1t is fine opening for the disa blcd
farm boys, and the calls for such
men exceed the number in training.
The aggregate of farms thus far
so progressive as to employ machin-
cry extensively is as yet small, but
the substitution of machinery is
rapidly growing on the larger places.
1t begins to look as if agriculture is
getting on a regular factory basis as
a skilled mechanic industry-and
probably the sooner the better
