The Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-06-02, Page 8MORE BREAD FOR THE WORLD
Massey-Harris Combines enable one man in because
one day, to harvest wheat for 55,-000 loaves
Yes, more food is available for the world today when its need is desperate, because
Canadian farmers with only a two-thirds increase in numbers over 1900, are growing
41/2 times as much grain, producing 2 1/2 times as much milk, feeding twice as many cattle
and 2 1/2 times as many hogs, raising 5 times as many chickens; because they are providing
food for 21/2 times as many people in Canada and exporting 30 times as much wheat
and 10 times as much flour.
Farmers are doing it.because individually they produce more today than in 1900,
but it means hard work. And there is no harder working group of people in the world
than the Canadian farmers. But hard work alone would not be enough to accomplish such
results. They do it by a combination of hard work and modern machinery.
Typical of the great, efficiency-increasing machinery of the farm today is the Self-
Propelled Combine, pictured above, which Massey-Harris first introduced in 1939. With
this machine, one man can cut and thresh enough wheat in one day to make 55,000 loaves
of bread.
Modern farm machinery has increased the productive capacity of Canadian agri-
culture to where it provides an abundant surplus for the needs of those in other lands,
and makes an important contribution to Canada's great export trade.
Similarly Massey-Harris machines are helping to increase farm production in 72
countries of 6 continents.
