They :give an unmistakable display, of the "jitters' every time the subject comes up for discussion in the House of Commons. This sensitiveness on the subject was in evidence this week when \4r. Dunning was at particular pains to deny a newspaper report that Prime Minister \Mackenzie King had told the Liberal caucus that no gov- ernment could solve the problem. 1Mr, Mackenzie Ring's colleagues recognize that he is on delicate ground with this issue. They recall unhappily his famous five -cent .speech un the subject which contributed to crease from 4176,000 in February.

''The applause came, and came very fully, and only from the Liberal .benches."

These descriptions of unemployed men were interspersed in an argument by the Liberal Member for Welling- ton North to the effect that they did not want work but desired to be "carried in an economic sedan chair and to be spoonfed."

Today, changes succeed each ofher with greater' rapidity and even the most revolutionary innovations are accepted' with little acclaim. Not in any period of the ninety years of Massey -Harris history has such skill been employed in the designing and developing of machines for the farm as there is today. The Company's engineers, in their extensive field experiments, are tonstantlytesting new ideas and developing, under actual conditions, machines and attachments specifi- cally suited to the requirements of the territory for which they are intended. Thus, whether it be a one -handled walking plow to be used by a native, and even perhaps drawn by natives, on the South African veldt; a power -driven mower to cope with the luxuriant growth of grass on an English meadow, or the One -Way Disc Seeder developed to help the farmer on the prairies of Western Canada combat soil drifting, it is the result of definite scientific research by the Company's field engineers. And in the motorized mechanization that is taking place in farming operations, Massey -Harris is in the forefront, still pioneering in bringing to farmers the latest developments in Tractors, Combines and other power equipment.
