The ease and speed of travel by car, and now aeroplane, the practical elimination of space by telephone and radio and the convenience and comfort of elec- tric lights and electrical household appliances are worth -while achievements towards the more abundant life. In keeping with this progress is the contribution of the implement manu- facturer toward lightening the labor and increasing the efficiency of the farmer. Farming has also been transformed. All too little recognition in this respect has been taken of the tremendous advances in farm tractors. In design—more practical and attractive—with the ease of starting and operating of an automobile, operating at low cost, making possible astounding reductions in the cost of certain farm operations, and with greater power, at prices which put them within the reach of even the smaller farmer. This more tractable and flexible source of power revolutionizes farming practice, eliminates the back -breaking work of days gone by, and makes it possible, in many instances, to operate gainfully even under existing difficult conditions.
