WHO IN THE MACHINE SHOP WORK Not for some time now could farming have been practised on the small scale style familiar in the world of yesteryear. If today we had to rely on the old-time cradle methods of cutting and garner- ing the crop, it would take every able-bodied man in every province of our Dominion to harvest the average wheat crop of Western Canada. Thanks, however, to modern farm machinery, with practically no seasonal increase in hired labor, the farmer is able to take care of even the heaviest of harvests. The making of the machines for harvesting is but a transference of labor from the field to the factory. Instead of the short seasonal engagement during the rush days of harvest, the implement worker is given longer periods of employment, and the days he spends in making form equipment lessens the number of men required in the farm field. Thus, these men, during the winter months, help make short work of garnering greater crops during the few and fleeting days of harvest season, and so many of the men thus engaged have themselves come from farm homes. It was only natural when turning their faces city -wards, that men from the farm should first seek employment with a company whose name to them had been a household word. In Massey -Harris, whose origin ninety years ago was on a farm, these one- time farmers find a rather logical expression for their abilities in the mechanical side of farming—for while in forge or machine shop—they also farm.
