TO THE FURTHERANCE
OF AGRICULTURE
Founded and developed on the basis of helpfulness
to the farmer, the implement industry is entirely
dependent on the prosperity of agriculture for its own
success.
Through the years the implement maker hos, with
quality of product and genuinely helpful service, won
the high regard and goodwill of the users of his product.
There are few farmers who do not value sincerely the
service of the implement company.
Lack of understanding of some of the problems of
the industry may give rise on occasion to criticisms that
seek to detract from or disparage the part that the
implement maker plays.
In the light of the facts, however, misunderstandings
vanish and a better appreciation results.
Farmers' Equipmentinvestment
Greatly Reduced
Most of the discussions on prices of implements, compar-
ing them with those of years ago, for instance, fail to
take cognizance of the improvement in methods that
have taken place, resulting in the use of different
machines from those of a quarter -of -a -century ago.
The One -Way Disc Seeder has displaced, to a serious
extent, so for as the manufacturer is concerned, several
other machines, and it does so because it cuts the cost of
tillage and seeding by from 40% to 50%.
The small combine has spread the use of this method
of harvesting until the sale of them now almost equals
that of binders. And this because it costs only 26c per
acre for out-of-pocket expense to harvest with the
smolt combine as against $1.90 per acre by the Binder -
Thresher method --a saving of $1.64 per acre.
The wheat former can equip today with the latest
tractor and tillage and harvesting equipment at 28%
less than he could for comparable machines ten years
ago—equipment, too, that enables him to cut the costs
of his operations by over 50%.
This 'is the contribution of the implement industry to the
furtherance of agriculture and Massey -Harris takes pride
in having played an important part in it.
