Those who attended the Ford power farming demonstration in Seaforth last. Friday which was worth while seeing, but some of the remarks the speaker made were not feasible. Even if the tractor is sell- ing cheaper than usual everyone knows who is in the agricultural business that the price of produce is lower. Other commodities should be cut in two. He made mention of the price of grain—that the farmers could realize three times the price of grain as it is at present if they feed it to hogs. That is true if hog prices had .remained as they were a few months ago, but we see what hap- pened as soon as there is an over- production of hogs or anything else. The prices drop to such an extent hat there is no profit for the pro- ucer and at the same time the cost f living doesn't come down accord - ng. We know it is some less, but of according. The speaker also re- marked, taking the case of a $5,- 00,00 farm, one has to figure his verhead expense before he has any refit and he knew that money could e got at 5%a. Well, we all know hat the farmer Can't pay any more tan 5% or 6% and live. Under. pre- m circumstances it can't be done xcept by those who have had the ood fortune to have a savings ac - Dunt and they are the only one who an afford Power Farming.
