AMERICAN AGRICULTURE LEADS
THE WORLD

Discussions of farm problems often pro-
duce much more heat than light. So an un-
emotional contribution to the subject made
by Dorothy Thompson is of unusual inter-
est.
In Miss Thompson's view, the farm trou-
beS that exist have stemmed from what she
terms the "scientific-technologi revolu-
tion." Modern farming, inevitably, requires
substantial investment in mechaniZed equip
ment. Marginal land and terrain unsuitable
for efficient mechanical operation have been
going out of use.
But this, Miss Thompson points out, does
not mean that the famiy-sized farm is dis
appearing the contrary, such units are
still the chief and most efficient producers" :"
These units are increasing in size, even as
they diminish in numbers, for the reason
that with modern equipment and techniques
each man can do so much more work than
could his predecessors. Astonishing in
creases in productivity have resulted. Miss
Thompson points to Strawberries. Twenty
years ago, she says, ton per acre was good
now certain favored regions produce as
high as 80 tons per acre.
Finally, Miss Thompson writes: There
is no crisis in agricultural as whole. In
productivity, prosperity, assets over liabil-
tiles, and dynamic progress. American ag-
riculture, as a whole, leads the world" AS
evidence, she cites the fact that the going
value of good farm land has not only been
maintained but has increased.
All chronological revolutions cause dislo-
cations. But all, in the long run, benefit ev-
eTyone And that is true in agriculture.

Can You Trust
Your Watch?
BY Dave Choate

A neighbor of mine said to
me the other day, II don't
know why my wrist watch
doesn't keep better time It's
been losing fifteen minutes a
day now for a month"
I just grinned. Why? Be-
cause / happen to know that
this man has the erroneous
idea that a watch is like the
human heart = something that
goes on continuously for years
and years even though it gets
a terrific lot of abuse.
Did / tell this fine gentle
man that we have a most ex-
cellent Watch Repair Depart
ment where even hopeless"
watches are reconditioned and
made virtually as good as brand
new? Yes, I did.
Well, finally, he brought it
in. And, frankly, I've never
seen a more abused timepiece.
/ don't think it had been clean
ed in ten years. We got busy
and fixed it up and when this
neighbor of mine paid the most
reasonable bill, he confessed
that it was his fault and GER
tainly not the watch's. Which,
incidentally, he had bought
from us.
How about your watch? Can
you trust it? If not, bring DIT
in and let our watch repair
craftsmen put it in perfect
condition. Then you can trust
it to keep time all the time.
You'll be happy with this
small investment In accuracy.

Farm Flock Production
Records Valuable

Farm Flock Production
Records Valuable
With lambing time drawing
near for many farm flocks of
sheep, we would like to remind
flock owners that it is very
worthwhile to keep a record of
production.
Growers can start such a rec
ord, by putting a brand number
on the back O. the eve and the
same number on the back of the
lamb, using a scourable branding
paint. A good time to do this is
when the eve and her lamb
are put in the 'jug" at lambing
time.
Since the average farm flock
consists of so to rs ewes, only
a few minutes are required to
record the lamb number, its size
and its condition when sent to
market. When the eve is shorn
a record of her fleece weight
should be recorded. By rebrand-
ing the eve with the same num-
Der after shearing or by using
an a tag, her production of
lamb and wool for the year can
be determined.
Most farm flock owners who
keep records of production are
satisfied with the results
they obtain. These records make
possible for the owner to check
closely on the programs he is
making with his sheep enterprise
