THE NEW ERA
IN AGRICULTURE
Revolutionary Changes Are Wrought
by Farm Machinery
Pioneer Days Recalled' ill Rotary Ad
dress
You feel like screaming—but you can’t—your throat
is dry—you feel as if you were choking with appre
hension—your heartisnounding,pounding, founding—
what, how—when? Then from the burning chaos of
your mind springs a clear, sparkling thought: “I’ve got
to telephono for help”* Before you know what’s
happened, all the vast organization laboriously built
find rigorously maintained by your community, firemen,
police, ambulances, hospitals instantly come to your
aid. Yes, there’s nothing like. a telephone in the
house—and in emergencies it’s priceless.
t', r • Telephone service is widely
used because it is courteous,
efficient, yet surprisingly in-
expensive. Nothing else yields
so much for what it costs!
The vast changes that have been
effected in farming through the -use
of labour-saving implements and the
part that modern farm machinery is
playing, in reducing the farmer’s costs
of production, were the highlights in
an address on “The New Era in Agri
culture” given before the Rotary Club
of Toronto, last week, by John Mar
tin of the Massey-Harris Company.
Mr, Martin, by striking contrasts
of production figures, btought home
to his audience thejmporttmee of ag
riculture in Canada, showing that' the
Value of the fodder crops of Canada
for 1937 amounted to $138,000,060—
whereas that for the total gold pro-
duction of Canada, ict the same year,
was $143,000,000, or “practically the
same amount for fodder—just feed for
horses and cattle, as for the gold pro
duction of Canada”, and that “the
dairy production of Ontario and Que
bec alone was $157,000,000 or $14,-
000,000 more than for the total gold
production of Canada,”
The story of the development of
agriculture from the small clearings
of the piqneer days to the larger ac
reages of today,” the speaker said,
“was largely the story of the introduc
tion arid development of farm imple
ments, and Canadians had played
most important pa^t in it,”
Exports Important to National
Economy
“Men like the Harris’s, Massey’s,
Wisner’s," Patterson’s, Verity’s, Cock-
shutt’s, Frost and Wood, had put Can
ada right in the forefront of imple
ment' making in the world,” he said
and told how the small plant started
in Newcastle by Daniel Massey in
1847 had grown and of the amalga
mation with the Harris Company in
1891. How the business spread to. 52
countries of the world and spoke of
it as being as firmly established in the
business of a score of other countries
as in its own native land.
“As a result of its export business,
Massey-Harris,” he said,’“in the ten
year period from 1928-1937, spent in
Canada $21,261,000 more than the tq-
tal of all its sales in Canada, surely a
worth-while contribution to_the na
tional economy of Canada.”
Removes Stoops from Farming
“Orfe of the.oldest of callings,” the
speaker reminded his audience, “farm
ing had seen few changes down
through the ages until the coming of
mechanical aids. Now changes take
place with such rapidity that we do
not stop to consider the transforma
tion that has taken place.” He found
a ready means of recalling what farm
ing meant in the pre-machine days by
reference to those famous pictures of
the great French Artist, Millet, which
still adorn the walls of many homes—
“The Angelus”, “The Gleaners”, and
“The Man with the Hoe” and pointed
out that they all. had one significant
characteristic and that was the bent
backs of the people working in the
field.
The full import of—“The Man with
the Hoe” he brought home with dra
matic force in the few lines he quot
ed from Edwin Markham’s now fam
ous poem in which he calls on—“Mas
ters, Lords and Rulers of all Lands
to straighten up this shape,” but Mj-.
Martin added, “each step in the em
ancipating of the farmer from this
back-breaking, brain-deadening, toil
has come about by the introduction
of some new labor-saving machine,
and thus modern farm machinery had
done more than all the Masters,-Lords
and Rulers of all lands to straighten
up this shape.”
Farm Production Costs Lowered
"Even with Canadian farming on a
higher standing than it had even been
here or in any other part of tfi’e world,
it still had great problems confront
ing it, such as the difficulties of Wes-
tern-Canada with soil-drifting, rust
and' grasshoppers; the low price that
prevailed for some of its products, the
disparity of farm product prices with
the prices of manufactured products
generally, and the problem of dwind
ling export markets for wheat and its
consequent low price.”
"But here again,” the speaker said,
“the agricultural engineer comes to
the aid of the farmer and cited the
development of the One-Way-Disc
Seeder which combining the various
operations of tillage and seeding all
in one avoided too much over culti
vation of the soil and left it in a mat
ted condition which successfully re
sisted soil-blowing and at the same
time cut the cost of tillage and seed
ing by at least 40%.
“In the great need for concentrat
ing on lower cost of production the
agricultural engineer had effected an
adaptation of the combine method of
harvesting in the new small power
take-off combines which brought the
advantages of this most economical
method of harvesting within the scope
of the" farmer of smaller acreages. A
one mart outfit,” Mr. Martin said, "far
mers last year told him that their on
ly out of pocket expense for operation
was the cost of gas and oil which
amounted to what it would have cost
for the price of binder-twine alone, if
they had used the binder, thresher
method, saving the cost of stookers
and threshing crews, and the woman
of the farm; was saved the ordeal of
cooking for the threshing crew, etc.
'^“Tractors, too, had shown as great
improvements, especially in the reduc
tion of operating costs. Citing one
striking example in the new tractor in
the saving in oil alone, 5 quarts in
stead of 12 being now required at a
filling arid of only needing to change
every 100 hours instead of every 30
as heretofore. Saving as much as $60
a year.
“Agricultural engineering was
working hand in hand with the farm
er in the solution of his problems and
in lowering the costs of production
and so helping to put farming ou a
more1 profitable basis/*

EARLY SIGNS OF
STOMACH CANCER
Dr. Sara M. Jordan of Boston, in
an address'to the American Associa
tion last yea.r, ssffiaTysed the .early signs
of canccr’'of the stomach. She says
that there are two stages in the his
tory of this affection, one preceding
the other by weeks or months.
The symptoms to which reference
will be made are both'primary and
Secondary, that is they appear in the
very earliest stages as well as later
on.
Of these, pain and distress in the
stomach region is th<> earliest sign.
It may appear as a general abdominal,
sign. It may show itself in the right
or left upper quarter of the abdomen
.or in the shoulders. It is a common
•.secondary sign as well. Loss of ap
petite, loss of weight and vomiting
.-come next in order as primary signs,
while nausea and vomiting are second
in frequency a secondary symptoms.
Loss of strength is common, while
hiccup, belching, difficulty in swallow
ing, as well as diarrhoea or constipa
tion may occur.
Loss of weight, appetite, strength,
arc strongly suggestive of cancer of
the stomach in a patient who com
plains of pain and distress in that reg
ion. These signs should at once send
the person for an x-ray and other aids
to diagnosis.
i A useful rule for both patient and
doctor is that in”a patient of over 35
years, abdominal discoriifort of over
a few days duration should be check
ed and if persistent rechecked with
careful study, both x-ray and chem
ical. One of the best safeguards ag
ainst cancer and indeed almost any
disease, is periodic health examina-
tion. If the individual made it his
habit to have an annual overhaul, what
an enormous number of cancers, heart
cases, kidney and lung affections
would be caught early and at a time
when they might readily be cured!
