SPEEDING UP PRODUCTION Nothing to Worry About If Right Tools are Used In the matter of producing big crops to meet the present demand, we are, of course, confronted by the inevitable bad farm power and farm help question. Perhaps that is one reason why we have paid so much attention lately to the use of farm tractors and in a way have neglected the investigation of other tools for the farm. It can be seen right In this county that much power and much help on the farms are not being used to the best advantage. Increased Crop* Without Increased Labor Take spreaders for instance. The crop averages of this county could be greatly Increased without the addition of another acre, another horse power, or another man, if only the fanners would utilize properly barnyard waste. Perhaps the increase would amount to 15 or 20 per cent, which' von Id be quite enough in many install ■< > .s to pay for the spreaders on about 15 acres of land. Experiments right along these lines have been conducted with such results. As it is, the fertilizer tho farmer has right at hand, barnyard manure, is in many cases either being entirely wasted or is dumped on the fields in such a way that it might almost as well be left to ferment away its ammonia and other valuable pit. foods in the barnyard or fefed lot. Ihive around through the county and you will see this for yourself. This isn’t a matter of tellln r someone else how to run his business, but at this time when economy along all lines is so necessary, such things must be discussed. Unbelievable Waste of Plant Food Doan Davenport cf the University of Illinois in a re- ent issue of one of the best farm papers shows that the annual loss of plant food equals the value of a tract of 500 square miles, equal to 4,000 80-acre farms, sufficient to support 30,000 people. Then, too, Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, recently stated that more than a billion dollars’ worth of barnyard refuse is wasted in the United States annually. What arguments those are for good wide spreading manure spreaders on every farm!

Spreader Pays Big Profits This isn’t a matter merely of helping out in increasing the food supply but it’s a matter Of personal profit, too. A spreader pays for itself by its Increased production over hand spreading on only a few acres—say 10 to 15—in one season. It not only does the work better but encourages frequent spreading by saving labor. This means that the manure is gotten out on the fields where it can dry and stop fermenting or else allow the plant food to be leached into the soil where it belongs. We can speed up production without requiring the use of more land, more power, or more men, by using the. right tools.
