MACHINERY SAVES | FARMERS MI]NEY; Work Cut Short by Use of Latest Methods of Agriculture ! “ By the Associated Press, Chicago, March 21.—American farmers saved 1,382,530,204 days in producing their eight leading crops last year by machine methods, com- pared with the methods of farming in vogue less than 100 years ago, accord- ing to a report compiled by the re- search department of National Asso- clation of Farm BEquipment Manufac- turers. “Using the U. 8.

Kellogg's is ALL bran. Doctors recommend it. They know that only ALL bran can bring 100 per cent results. 9 Kellogg's Bran stimulates the intestine in placement of human labor, gives these savings in time,” says the report. “Us- ing the rate of $3 a day for hired help in the wheat, oats, barley, corn, hay, white potato and rye crops, and | $2 for labor on the cotton crop, gives $3,814,205,412 as the cash savings made in labor replacement in the present production of these crops. “Bince the shift from farm to city our great citics, factories, banks and transportation systems, the place of modern equipment, in building mod- ern agriculture and a great nation wherein only 30 per cent of the pop- ulation produces the food for the other 70 per cent, is apparent. Agri- culture is still the foundation of the npation, and labor-saving farm equip-| ment is the crane that lifted the foun-| dation stones into place and main- tains a solid foundation. “The farm investment in imple- ments and machinery is only $3,594,-| 772,928, according to the last figures avallable, or less than the saving in labor on the eight leading crops last | year.

The plow, tillage imple- ments, grain drills and harvesting' machines have been the biggest items of speeding up the operations, “Going back to George Washing- ton's day, since General Washington was one of the first inventors and manufacturers of farm machinery in| bis efforts to increase wheat produc- tlon on his Virginia estate, it is found that it took 61 hours, 5 minutes to siamp collection ean be carried in| the vest pocket, Fven the largest and most valuable collections are con- tained within a few volumes which m nto a bookease. H Stamp collecting first became a really international hobby, dealers here say, in the early nineties. From 1893 to 1900 the hobby had a great following. Then it died down until 1912, since when the ranks of stamp enthusiasts have been steadily aug- mented, Today there arc in the United States alone 50 or more col-| lections which are worth between $i00,000 and $200,000 each, dealers soy, while there are almost any num- | ber of collections valued from $25,000 to $75,000 each.
