The Machine Wins

Wayne Dinsmore, head of the
Horse Association of America, firmly
expresses the belief that power farm
ing is a costly lelusion, and that
horses arc inevitably more profitable
than tractors.
&. l.. Clarkson, head of the Society
of Automotive Engineers on the
other hand. declares that the tractor
of today makes possible better crops
at less cost. And he approves the re-
cent statement of British engineer
that Just as the motor vehicle is
driving the horse from the public
roads, SO will the motor tractor in
evitably usurp the place Of the horse
or the majority of the arabic farms
of the world"
Each man of course says what he
might be expected to say. 1t is an
endless debate between the man of
horses and the man of machines.
The farmer is the judge between
them. He loves horses, but when he
wants to go somewhere he prefers
the motor vehicle rather than the
buggy. So in the end, the logic lies
with the machine, no matter what
the present argument may be.-Farm

the populace and was royalty enter

preservation, and is of the prevailing
style of the period.
Mr.. Savage also presented to the
society sword inscribed with the
words "God Bless the Province of

owned the blade. but the inscription
shows that it antedated the Rcvolu-
tionary Warn. y. Times.
