Between 1850 and 1910 the value of agricultu machiner increased eightfold. As the price of agricultural machinery fell rapidly during the period it follows that the quantity of agricultural machinery used increased far more than eightfold. Production per acre increased steadily as the use ofr inery Federation, se8 of s of ever has been s the machinery Between 1850 ugyre era to the of rose urer way of committing suicide than to follow Howard's advice and dis- card tractors horses. Logically it would follow that if horses should be used because they consume grain it were better to go still farther back and drive oxen, for a yoke of oxen can do less work per day than a team of horses, neces- itating more oxen than horses 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 surplus,” as How- , ard suggests, This carried still further There could be for American no farmers for 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 Howard's advice arded machinery because machines don’t wear shoes, clothes, nor eat wheat, where would this country be ten hence? is true that tractors on. But 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 American farmer now uses the tractor, the modern reaper, thresher, planter and other farm machinery, he is miles and miles ahead of his great-great-grandfather ‘| Davy Hasn’t Quit.

I'd have to turn to a new job, and I'm too old to do that.” It is no ‘new thing to hear that 81 is too old to start learn- ing new tricks; Davy James, tho, released a new idea in “ It curtail grain consumpt long Yet, at few quit when ength, or no-work has to. change “hobby.” goal all him some choice of Therein obs But the you! man at 81 is too young to quit work.” world or 8 than if everybody , could think 81 before he And, folks, wouldn't this be a fine could, and would, so live that at 81 he, with Davy that a man should be older wishes to kiss work good-t Which doesn’t intend to convey the idea that the scheme things should be so arranged that every man would HAVE to after he has reached the mature years of four-score. ather does it suggest the hope that work would be so*pleasing that every mothe son would want ;'to engage in it to the very sunset of life. 1 Once it was on the program that man worked hard and long hours so that he might accumulate sufficient to “take jlife easier.” The trouble with that was that few men had j much life “ft when the recreation day came.
