ADVERTISEMENTS “She Kéepé the Old Machine Going” That is what experienced threshermen say about the Nichols - Shepard Oil-Gas Tractors It was designed with one purpose in view - ‘—to give the thresherman the ideal power he's always wanted in an oil-gas tractor. Built by men who have made a life specialty of building threshing outfits. . It keeps the thresher running steadily under the most trying conditions and lasts for years. {t’s good for more than threshing. It fills every place in general tractor work economically, burning either keroséne, gasoline, or distillate. Messrs. Cook & Olson, Eagle Bend, Minnesota, say: “As you know, we are pulling our Red River Special Separator with one of your QOil-Gas Tractors. We find we can do considerable more threshing with this Tractor than with steam ag there is no waiting to get up steam, for water, or for fuel. She is always ready for business and has plenty of reserve power.’, Write for Circulars Nichols & Shepard Co.

Notwithstanding our inerease in total population and the decrease in farm population, we have, until very recently, steadily increased food pro- duction per thousand of total popu- lation. This increase has come both from the use of labor-saving machin- ery and from bringing into cultivation new areas of fertile land.. We can not keep up this gait in the future, Con- sumption has almost overtaken pro- duction under normal world c¢onditions. Most of our fertile land which can be farmed profitably without expen- sive reclamation has been taken up. We still have large areas of swamp land and dry land and cutover land, but these lands can not be profitably reclaimed and farmed unless we can depend upon higher relative prices for farm products than prevailed before the war. FARMERS MUST HAVE A VOICE IN PRICE-FIXING The farmer is the one man engaged in a big business who has had no voice in fixing the price of the things he produces. He has been compelled to take whatever price he tould get. His cost of production has not at any time been considered in determining this price. In times of small crops prices have sometimes been high. In times of large crops prices frequently have been ruinously low. Very large crops, as a rule, give the farmer fewer dol- lars than small crops. Farming seems to be one business in ‘which large pro- duction is always penalized. No doubt, when we get through this period of world readjustment and get squared away on an orderly basis there will be a gradual increase in the value of farm land, provided our na- tional poliey is fair to agriculture, but this incréase will be much slower than in times past.. The speculative value has been taken out of the land. The farmer can no longer depend upon the increase in the value of his farm to make good losses suffered through his farming operations year by year. Farmers’ crops must sell higher rela- tively in the future than in the past. ‘We seem to have been going on the theory that the fertility of our soil, especially in the great corn and tame grass country, is inexhaustible. To the nation this is a most dangerous theory. We must set about in earnest the development of an agricultural policy which will enable us to feed our people at fair prices and, at the same time, retain the fertility of our soil, our greatest national material asset. If we are to make this a self-sus- taining nation agriculturally, as Pres- ident Harding put it in one of his (Continued on page 15) ADVERTISEMENTS - A De Laval will bring prosperity to your farm: : De Laval Cream Separator saves and serves twice a day, every day in the year.
