A harvest of 324 million bushels of wheat, to say nothing of the •
increased volume of coarse grains, and all of it brought in and
threshed in 1938 without the assistance of the erstwhile army of
tens of thousands of harvest help from the East in the years not so
long gone by.
Thus does the mode of our lives and the methods of our callings
change, keeping pace with the progress being made in the scientific
engineering and industrial realms.
_• The evolution of the Combine to the small, compact model now
made available has revolutionized harvesting, making it an easily
undertaken task for the regular help of the farm. Its production at a
cost to the farmer of but one-third the price of the earlier, bigger
models, is an evidence of the contribution made by the implement
maker to help the farmer meet the problems with which he is con
fronted. The lo.wer operating costs of this machine, and the reduction
it enables to be made in the cost of harvesting, saving as it does up
to 15c a bushel for complete harvesting, has meant, in a great many
instances, a profit instead of a loss to the farmer.
Power of course is the basis of the great mechanistic progress of
agriculture afid the record of attainment in making more efficient,
less costly, and lower operating cost models available is an achieve
ment that cannot be beaten by any other industry. To-day’s modern
streamlined, high efficiency tractors make earlier models look like
pre-histdric monstrosities and sell for about one-half the price,
costing less than half to operate.
Massey-Harris is pleased to have taken a leading part in develop
ing machines which are destined to play so important a part in making
agriculture profitable.
The advent of the combine and now the greater popularity of the
small combine has meant a striking decrease in the output of binders
which records show reached the height of their Volume in the
years jtist previous to the war, both in Canada and the United States;
production in the latter country dropping from 215,386 in 1014
to 31,2 5$> in 1937, thus losing the benefits ofcmass production gained
in the years when the volume kept mounting.
Apart ftom the tremendously Improved product offered in the
binder of to-day, which accounts in no small way for its relatively
increased ptice over pre-war years, the fact of the greatly decreased ...
volume now manufactured makes the binder cease tO be the Criterion

the game lost considerable 'interest,
although the Colts had a three-run
rally in the fourth. The final score
was 11-4, which is a pretty good mar
gin.
While the Tribe had four errors,
the club played smart ball behind Bob
Chalmers. Robert pitched a typical
Chalmers game, only three strike-outs
but few Colts connected very solidly
especially in the pinches. Bart Smith’s
fine running catch in short left and a
back-hand stab by Gray, were the
fielding features. Besides pitching
well, Chalmers also hit safely the first
three times up. M. Thompson had
three also to lead the Chesley attack.
After the Colt infield had retired
the first four hitters to face Bluhm,
the Hurons went to world on Tiny
and eventually caused his retirement.
With one out, Lediet lined a single
to centre and successive one-base
knocks by Groves, Gray, Miller and
Chalmers netted three runs. Bluhm
tossed out Mellor at first but Smith’s
lusty single to right scored Miller,
sent Chalmers to third and Bluhm to
the bench. Cecil Wilcox, looking con
siderably stouter than he used to, took
up the burden and was greeted with
a triple to right centre by Somers,
Chalmers and Smith scoring. Doran
ended it with a long fly to Ebel.
The Colts scored three in the fourth
on a couple of singles, a double and
an error. The Hurons picked up one
in the fifth on Smith’s single, a stolen
base on which Bart took third when
Priebe heaved the ball into centre
field. Somers walked and Doran fan
ned but Lediet’s long fly to centre
scored Smith.
Chesley scored their fourth and
final run in the same frame. Ebel
opened with a single but was forced
at .second by that venerable ancient
Sandy Thompson. Hetherington then
popped to Chalmers but M. Thomp
son whaled a long double to left cen
tre scoring his namesake. Priebe hit
to Smith who tossed to Lediet for the
third out. Chalmers’ single, a couple
of passed balls and Mellor’s double,
added another Indian run in the sixth.
The Hurons finished it off with
three in the seventh. Somers singled
to left and promptly stole second,
Doran again fanned, Priebe dropping
the third strike and Somers going to
third on the throw to first. Lediet
popped to short but Groves and Gray
singled and Miller whaled a terrific
liner down the left field foul line for
two bases and two more runs before
Chalmers struck out to end the inn

the narrow margin of 7-6. The local
lads outhit their Drew rivals 10 to 3,
