Farm Must Be Put On Business

Greater cooperation between
farmers and bankers so that the

"In the so years from 1910 to
1890, the development OF farm ma
chinery enabled four men 70 do the
work that required fourteen" says
Mr.. WOodfOrd. To-day we are faced
with the problem of so equipping
the farms of the nation that one
man can produce as much as the
four in 1890 or the II in 1870.
More than that. we want 10 re-
duce the days work of that one
man TO a normal length. eliminate
the unnecessary drudgery, and afford
him the cOnveniences and pleasures
that have made city life attractive.

And still more, we must enable
him TO get greater production from
the land that he now farms, for lit
tie new land is available, and the
ever-increasing demands of the ma
tons population must be taken care
of by better use of the land we now
have.
