81 Cents Spent for Farm
Machinery

Attacking the popular misconocp-
ton about the farmer S expense for
farm implements to till, plant, har-
vest, and process the crops, the
speaker declared that in 1880 this
item represented only about 81 cents
out of yer = dollar OF sgrieuituFcs
gross cash income. and he contrasted
this figure with 20 cents for wages
to hired labor, 10 cents for taxes.
and nearly 10 cents for interest. The
total value of farm implements and
machinery on our farms is only about
81 per cent Of the total value OF all
farm property.
Another contrast offered by the
speaker was between the price per
pound of eleven base farm machines
and OF numerous other articles used
on the farms. Though the farm
machines are by far the most complex
in the list they are cheaper by the
pound than any Of the others "A
1880 tractor sells at 10 cents a
pound and a 1O-foot combinc-har
vcstcr at i9 cents a pound, as against

Dealer Distribution

Dealer Distribution
MIR. Mount told about the essential
services rendered to agriculture by
the established implement dealers
and asserted that a full investigation
would easily prove that dealer dis
tribution is the most economical
way for the farmer to be served
"A farm machinery business" he
earnestly declared, cannot be carried
on like a mail order business Credit
must be provided and service guaran-
tecd. The service rendered by the
dealer after the sale and delivery OF
the machine is an indispensable one.
The machine must be delivered, set
up, and serviced, and an adequate
stock Of repairs kept ready for quick
rtpiacements, for speed is essential
in faxning. II the system o. dealer
distribution should be abandoned,
none would more seriously object and
none would more seriously suffer
than the farmer himself"
Profit and Loss
present farm machine prices"
the speaker said, would not give
any one in the industry more than a
living profit if the production and
sale were anywhere lear normal: and,
based on the present small demand,
farm equipment prices are entirely
too low for any profit to the indus
try
The fact that there is no prohteer-
ing in the farm implement industry,
Mr.. Mount declared, was conclusive.

profit and loss accounts Of the various

continued, you will find that the

He pointed out that in 1880 the
average earnings on the actual
amount OF money invested in the
business OF the seven largest nipple

and these earnings included sales all

Price Trends in tho Automotive
Industry
The speaker presented facts and
figures showing that the farm equip
ment industry has kept pace with
the automobile industry In improving
the quality and lowering the price OF
its product For example, a standard
1910 tractor which sold in 1918 for
$l4M now sells for $50 reduction
OF 500 or 43 per cent, and a far
better tractor at that. A 1880 trac-
tor, which sold for $3.50 in 1916,
has been vastly improved in design.
power, and efficiency. yet it sells M y
for $11o0.
Mr.. Mount cited figures released
by the United States Department Of
Labor in November. 1881, showing
that since 1926 farm implement
prices had declined more than auto
mobile prices.
1t was pointed out by the speaker
that the only farm implements that
have increased in price since the
prewar period we're the old types Of
horse-drawn machines which. he
said. were rapidly disappearing from
the picture of American agriculture
He gave as an example the horse
drawn grain binder on which the
| sales in the United States in 1881
were oniy about 10 per cent OF the
| volume in 1902. In 1914 the total
grain binder production Was 2I5,S86.
Will in 1886 it was only 40. loo
Mr.. Mount estimated that the total
binder production Of 1881 vas only
about 1900 machines, including

BOO BAPTISTS DUE HERE THURSDAY

The NeedlewOrk Guild Drive for Baby Clothes
 Deserves Support
GIVE SOMETHING

If the drive for new members is successful for the Needlework Guild this fall, Christmas will find a group of expectant mothers whose hearts have been plunged into the depths of despair, facing the future with new optimism and new faith. For at Christmas time the Visiting Nurse association takes the layettes and gifts of baby clothes which have been provided through the generosity of Needle work. Guild members, does them up in white paper with cheering red string, and presents them to the mothers be on their lists. If the good people of Waterbury are will ing to pay the membership dues re- auired by the Guild-two new gar ments-no mother to be or small child in Waterbury will be without something new at Christmas.
 The guild has been asked by various persons to cite particular needs to arouse the attention of those who find little interest in a general appeal but whose hearts and pocketbooks-are touched by direct appeal for a particular case.
 Case No 2
 The woman in this case is real ly a girl. She had 8 misfortune while still in her teens and as a result found herself with 8 new baby, unprovided for. She had given no thought to the future be- yond the dark day when the baby was born and had made no attempt | to get any garments for the child She said she had prayed for death for herself and for the child, and particularly for the child as he would have no chance in life. But when she held the baby in hel arms she did not want to give him up and declared she would do what she could to keep him well and strong. She has been faithful ir her physical care of him and lived with relative who provided shel- ter. The relative recently became unemployed and is unable to pro- vide shelter any longer. The young woman has found home for her. self and her baby where she works for their board but receives nc money. She is willing to wear any kind of clothes herself so long as they cover her, but she does wish she could have omething new and pink for the baby who is, she de. clares, really beautiful baby.
