The demands of our Country and Empire,,occasioned by another Great War, cause us
to pause and recount the progress made in the quarter-century since the beginning of
the first Great War.
Then but 10,000,000 acres were sown to wheat in contrast to over 25,000,000 acres
now; then We exported but 25,000,000 lbs. of bacon and ham to Great Britain in a
year, whereas this year our shipments will total over 260,000,000 lb$. Then the average
yearly production of a dairy cow was 4,500 lbs. of milk which now has been raised
to 6,500 lbs. •
.. Farmers Ijave been alert to the findings of science and the better practices developed
by our agricultural colleges and ‘'experimental farms. Changed methods have brought
vast improvements; higher standards of products have been attained and maintained.
Science, too, applied by practical men of knowledge has, through the solving of ,
many of our immediate problems, greatly increased the productivity of our farms and
added immense sums to the farmers’ yearly revenue.
Rust-resisting varieties of wheat have now ended the annual losses occurring from this
perennial blight which is estimated to have cost the farmers of Western Canada in the
62 years of wheat growing, an amount in excess of half a billion dollars.
Grasshopper control efforts have been perfected to the point where the damage
from these pests has been greatly curtailed, one authority placing the saving from this
work at several hundreds of millions of bushels of grain in the last seven years.
And the agricultural implement engineer has been busy designing machines to meet
the specific needs of the moment. Speed, less man-power, and lower costs of operation,
have been the goal and as a result most machines have undergone great changes.
Tractors have been tremendously improved. New machines have been made available.
One-Way-Disc Seeders—till and sow in one operation, cutting the cost of these operations
by 40% to 50%. The new Small Combines extend t.he us<* of this new low cost harvesting
method to farms of all sizes—saving upwards of $1.60 per acre in harvesting costs.
Massey-Harris is proud to have played an important part in adding the contribution
of the implement maker to those of the scientist and farmer in furthering the interests
of agriculture.
