Rug Given Away o n o * demands constant pioneering-discovering and .... developing the new < I fl the things we have to do. Time was when the introduction of a new implement was a mem­ orable and historic event, but these were the early days in the appli­ cation of mechanics to farming operations. Today, changes succeed each other 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 constantly testing new ideas and developing, uhder actual conditions, machines and attachments specifi­ cally suited to the requirements of the territory for which they ate intehded* 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 byjhe Company^ field engineers* Y And in the motorized mechanization that is faking place in farming operations, Massey-Harris is in the forefront, stiM pioneering in bringing to farmers the latest developments in Tractors, Combines and other bower equipment.
