HELPING AGRICULTURE MEET THE CWfoup The providing of the foodstuffs for on Empire at war is a prodigious undertaking. Fortunately for our fortunes at war we can accom­ plish this with comparative ease and little or no disturbance of our regular farming regime. Abundance is our problem. To produce such great quantities of farm products with a minimum of labor—releasing men for more direct war activities—Is the triumph of modern power-farming which/ with its time-saving multiple operations and cost-reducing equipment, helps the farmer to carry on operations more efficiently to meet the present difficult conditions. Thus modern farm machinery helps agriculture meet the peculiar challenge with which it is confronted in making its contribution to Canada’s and the Empire’s war effort.
