Bridget would like to have added
more to have lingered on and talk-
ed, until sire felt her old selt again
and recaptured a normal outlook. 'wanted anted nothing' better than to
be there with Robin, under the arch-
way of red -gold leaves, witty berry

HARVESTING
METHODS
A harvest of 324 million bushels of wheat, to say nothing of the
increased volume of coarse grains, and all of it brought in and
threshed in 1938 without the assistance of the erstwhile army of
tens of thousands of harvest help from the East in the years not so
long gone be.
'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.
The advent of the combine and now the greeter popularity of the
smelt combine has meant a sulkies decrease in the output 01 bfadets

Apart fromthe tremendou0ll improved product offered io the
bindet of to -day, which accounts in no small way for its relatively
increased priceover pre-war years, the fact of the greatly decreased

rclbeSNAPS1-1-01- GUILDACTION SHOOTING I
A subject such as this will make a good "action' sequence"—a series of
pictures showing the complete toss, step by step.' 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
