Thia low percentage of increase, too, is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials of 93.9% and of Massey-Harris hourly rates of pay of 165% as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above. Also, the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 66.5% there has been an increase in the price of farm products Of 93.8% and the scarcity of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175.3%. The partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has been made possible by the continued great world demand for farm mechan ization giving a volume that permits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing.
