'Thus does the mode of our lives and the methods of our callings change, keeping pace with the progress being made in the scientific engineering and industrial realms. The evolution of the Combine to the small, compact model now made available has revolutionized harvesting, making it an easily undertaken task for the regulae help of the farm. Its production et a cost to the farmer of but one -thud the price of the earlier, bigger models, is an evidence of the contribution made by the implement maker to help the farmer meet the problems with which he is coe- froated. The lower operating costs of this machine, and the reduction it enables to be made in the cost of harvesting, saving es it does up to 15e a bushel for complete harvesting, has meant, in a great many instances, a profit instead of a loss to the fernier. Power of course 1$ the basis of the great mechanistic progress of agriculture and the record of attainment in making more efficient, less costly, and lower operating cost models available is an achieve- ment that caseno1 be beaten by any other industry. To -day's modern streamlined, high efficiency tractors make earlier models look like pre -historic monstrosities and sell for about one-half the price, costing less than half to operate. , Massey -Harris is pleased to have taken a leading pact in develop- ing machines which are destined to play soimportant a part in making agriculture profitable.

Pose your subject n "slow motion," and It's easy. ACTION shooting is one of the most interesting phases of ama- teur photography—and good action pictures can be obtained with any camera, it you know how. To "stop" true fast action, and get sharp pictures, you need a fast shutter --one that can be adjusted to 1/400 or 1/500 second. Such a camera le a wise investment if you intend to do much shooting of urs posed action subjects—you simply set the shutter for top speed, adlust the lens opening for correct expos- ure at that speed, and 'tire away. With Weever cameras, however, 'you can still get good action pic- tures if you pose your subject in slow motion. Lethim go through tbe natural motions of the sport—golf, tennis, or whatever you choose—but have him move as slowly as possible. Then shoot when the action boles most effective. This trick veil work for tkox cam- erae, as well as the many excellent folding amens wheats shutters ad- just no bleier than 1/100 second. And It le marvelously effective it well done, the pictures retaining a Interesting ,.action "sequences" can be made in the manner Jest de- scribed.

Suck a sequence is easily obtained if the aubject goes through the action very slowly Several times —and it is surprisingly effective, when the picture;; are mounted in proper order, in your 51bum. In all action «hooting, take care not to become excited, or you'may press the shutter release' tee jerkily —moving the earners., and blurring the shot.
