REPAIR FOR 1916

It Is always easier, costs less and
takes less time to prevent a farm
machinery breakdown than to fix
one. According to present indica-
tons, the farmers Of 1916 will be
utilizing the same prewar ma
chinery that they operated in 1914.
Every farm should have a COM
Portable work shop, where all ma
chinery can be placed under shelter
and gone over on rainy days for the
long winter months ahead. As equip
ment finishes its job, it should be
cleaned and put away.

United States, expenditure of less
than 10 minutes Of man labor per

methods and machines are used. In
other crops, the story is similar and,
because of such methods and the

it has been possible for the farmers

OF food In the war period, despite
reduction Of workers on the land.
Without the aid Of such labor and
tlme-saving machines, there is little
doubt that the millions of men in
the armed services and the many
millions more at home would have
long since faced serious food crises
that might have jeopardized the out
come of this world struggle.
1t is true that thousands of per-
sons In war-torn countries, cut
on from normal food supplies,
have persisted, and that in areas
where the population still de-

tural methods, starvation is not

In rapid succession, agriculture's
progress has steadily continued.
No longer does the tiller Of the
soil fit tho poets description Of
"stolid and stunned, . BROTH
ef to the OK" No longer does the
plowman homeward plod his
weary way. He rides.
The horse-drawn cultivator and
grain binder have given way in
many areas to the tractor, cultivator
and the combine. Harvesting Of the
corn crop is now performed in ever
Increasing measure by the tractor
operated corn-picker; cotton costs
are being reduced by the mechan-
tcal cotton picker; the primitive
pump is succeeded by the electrical
~ operated water, system; hand
milking by machine milking. The
heretofore laborious job of making
hay Is becoming less of a back
breaking chore through the newer
machines for harvesting and stor-
Ing Of this important crop - such
as power mowers, rakes, pickup
balers, forage harvesters. And SO
It goes - each step an improvement
over the old; less labor in growing
and harvesting of food and feed
Crops; in livestock raising; in horti-
culture or dairying. In every branch
of agriculture, the story is the
same; increased efficiency through
use Of the machine; reduced effort
On the part Of the operator; more
time for the better things of life,
impossible Of attainment in former
times when the days were not long
enough even to perform the single
Job of raising the food for the family.
In discussing the part which mod
ern farm equipment plays in saving
time and labor for the farmer, we
are apt to overlook some Of the
Important services which 1t renders
In the job Of food production.
Modern farm equipment has done
more than any other one thing to
neutralize weather hazards. 1t en-
ables the farmer to both control and
shorten his crop handling time, thus
Increasing the amount of work that
can be done in the hours Of sunshine
allotted to him; weed control and
eradication can be adapted to indi-
vidual weeds; controlled blowing
depths do much to bury such insect
pests as the corn borer, Hessian fly
and the boil weevil; quick and posi-
tive erosion control is made possible
through modern, mechanical farm
equipment. All Of these tend to in
crease acre yields and, In many
cases, save entire crops.

whose job il is 10 keep abreast
with Congressional clOakrOOm de-

this original strategy of the anti
Wallace forces has been changed.
Since il is Well known now that
the primary aim Of the pro-Wallace
forces is Ia keep Wallace and the
thinking he represents high in the
inner circles Of government by
obtaining a rabinet post for him,
the plan Of the antiWallace forces
now has shifted from merely pass
ing the George bill and then CON
firming Wallace; the plan now Is
to denv confirmation outright. And
since there are many Senators who
will vote for confirmation of Wal
lace provided the George bill Is
passed first. defeat Of the George

Of Henry Wallace.
