THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ' AMERICAN J THIS STEP BACKWARD. President Howard, of the American Farm Bu- reau Federation advises farmers of the United States to make more use of horses and less of tractors. Instead of spending money for gaso- line, he said at a meeting of the Illinois Agricul- tural association, “it would be well to use the| Piety,” for the direction of his children in Eng: | grain at home, It will make a better market for | kind in 1662. the surplus if this plan is followed out.” ' Nothing more harmful to American agricul- tural interests ever has been suggested than this proposal to retreat from the machinery era to the old hand-power, horse-drawn age. Between 1850 and 1910 the number of Amer- ican farms increased fourfold; in the same time their value increased tenfold. The principle rea- son for the increase in the value of the farms lies, of course, in the vast increase of the American crops, which increase is due principally to the general use of the most powerful labor-saving machinery. - Between 1850 and 1910 the value of agricultural machinery increased eightfold. As the price of: agricultural machinery fell rap- idly during the period it follows that the quan- tity of agricultural machinery used increased far more than eightfold. Production per acre in- creased steadily as the use of machinery rose. There could be no. surer way of committing suicide than for American farmers to follow Howard’s advice and discard tractors for horses. Logically it would follow that if horses should be used because they consume grain it were bet- ter'to go still farther back and drive oxen, for a yoke of oxen can do less work per day than a team of horses, necessitating more oxen than hoyses and thus further increasing the need for grain.’ Oxen too, would demand more man- power, which in turn would increase the demand for human food, thus giving “a better market for the supplies,” as Howard suggests. This carried’ still further would, suggest the abandonment of all farm machinery, going back to the sickle, and the hand thresher, enormously increasing the demand for man-power and the accompanying demand for food. ) If other American industries accepted How- ard’s advice and discarded machinery because machines don’t wear shoes, nor clothes, nor eat wheat, where would this country be ten years hence? ’ It is true that tractors curtail grain consump- tion. But it is also true that they increase grain production. What is true of tractors is true of all farm machinery ; they’re all in the same boat, none of them eat grain. But because the Ameri- can farmer. now .uses.-the tractor, the modern reaper, thresher, planter, and other farm machin- ery he is miles and miles ahead of his great: great-grandfather. THE KITCHEN MARATHON. The average:housewife walks two miles ‘a“day While she is preparing meals for her family. The Gonference of Vocational Workers of the south, in Montgomery, Ala., became interested in home abor-saving discussions. A pedometer was at- tached to a student in a model kitchen, break- fast, lunch and dinner were prepared. Two miles over the stove-sink-pantry-table route! ‘ She walks 14 miles a week, 728 miles ‘a year. “Add to that the miles she travels sweeping, dusting, anstvering door bells, the telephone, and the other few thousand of household duties and Gne estimates that: mother crosses the continent each year withont crossing her threshold. The answer is, of course, step-saving. ‘Non- used rooms, kitchens too large, or poorly.’ ar- ranged, will have to go. The efficient housewife will cut. out unnecessary steps. This will not be done so much to avoid walking two, or even five miles a day, for health experts insist that five miles a day spells health. The hike, though, should be outdoors, not in the kitchen. That’s ue newer idea; fewer steps indoors; more out- e. ; YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY. A man was released afew da}s ago who spent a quarter century in Charlestown state ‘prison.
