But he entertains NO delu sions. He knows that In the fu ture he won't be able to compete in the production of feed and food grains. His ability to com pete AT ALL is the subject of much careful thought. His hope for the future, even in his own specialties, such as livestock production and dairying (based on grass) and vegetable growing Is GREATER MECH ANIZATION of British agricul ture. A visitor from the American West is contlnuingly amazed at the extent to which mechaniza tion has already proceeded. AN example is a Captain Bom ford, of Evesham, who is a farmer in a rather big way, op erating 1500 acres, devoted chiefly , to vegetables and fruits, but ; carrying, along with these, his full prescribed allotment of grain. He says flatly: "Complete ; mechanization Is our only hope for the future If we are to com pete with America and other . food surplus countries." He has ' an astonishingly complete ma- chine shop, in which (if he has ; to) he BUILDS farm machines to his own specifications. He prefers to rely upon established ', designers and manufacturers, but If they can't provide him with what he wants he MAKES IT. Every time he looks at a hand ! operation in the growing or liar- vesting of his various crops he ; starts thinking about a MA- CHINE to do It more cheaply. ' You'd be surprised at how near , he is to solution of the problem of harvesting hops with a ma- chine. "We'll be selling It to you , Americans before long," he says. THIS preoccupation with the machine, which Is so evident . among British farmers at the present moment, astonishes lis and proves the extent of our ignorance of our British neigh borswhom we have generally and In the mass regarded as back ' ward In the use of machinery In agriculture. Far from it. They are pretty well along the road al- ready, and are going much far ; titer. They say they HAVE TO If they are to survive In (he com petitive world of the future and " what you HAVE to tin you work nt. THIS Idea of PROGRESS is evident everywhere in Eng land's agricultural Midlands. It lakes almost extreme forms. Kor example: This writer has heard . at least a dozen times in the past few days the statement that Eng land's picturesque HEDGES will have to go. It costs too much to keep them trimmed. They harbor weeds. They rob adjacent soil They take up too much ground Wire fences will be much more efficient. So goes Ihe talk. The word "progress" enters soon or late into nearly every conversation nhoiit the future of British agri culture. If you can Imagine the CHANGE Inherent In the Idea of doing away with England's hedges because they are INEFFI CIENT, you will he able to realize faintly the revolution in think ing that Is sweeping this country. What happened on election day was no accident. A new spirit is loose In this old and tradition bound land. You feel It In your. COMMUNITY SERVICE By Charles Two Oregon newspapers services which, in our opinion, iide their own immediate areas. The Coos Bmj Times, ful filling a promise made by its publisher, Sheldon Sackett, who las been critical of the complicated method of publishing .ax budgets, has printed a form of city budget which makes the municipal finance program understandable to every eader. The Euyenc Register studies relating to the housing problem, showing cause for slowness of residential construction through private capital and furnishing most valuable information for persons pro posing to build new homes. These two newspapers, in our opinion, have performed exceptionally outstanding services for their respective com munities and for the state in general, as, undoubtedly, the influence of their presentations will be widespread. We doubt if Publisher Sackett's presentation of Coos Bay's municipal budget could qualify as a "legal"' notice, but instead of a puzzling maze of figures, from which only a certified public accountant could make sense, he has de vised a narrative type of presentation which makes the budget publication not only understandable but also in teresting reading. We doubt if any appreciable number of readers ever study with care the tentative budgets all 'tax levying bodies are required to publish. Yet it is, we believe, most advisable that publication be required, as it becomes difficult for any taxing group to make free and easy with public money when budgetary items must be exposed to public gaze. The fault, as Mr. Sackett points out, lies in the form of publi cation, which is of no interest to the casual reader. His "model" publication treats each item in narrative form, showing the purpose for which tax dollars are to be used and their need with respect to good government. If Mr. Sackett would now turn his attention to a simplified form for federal income tax blanks, he would receive our eternal blessing. The City of Eugene Is faced with the same problem that confronts Koseburg and every other rapidly growing com munity in Oregon inadequate housing. Eugene also has the same situation that has been puzzling Koseburg people. Numerous priorities have been granted for building private homes, but only a very few of the persons obtaining pri-1 orities have erected dwellings. William Tugman, editor of the RegMer-Giuird, who is nationally known for sponsorship of Eugene's postwar planning program, determined to find out the reason why people who had money to btrild residences and who had secured priorities for that purpose were not erecting dwell ings. A reporter assigned to esting facts. He interviewed building material dealers, etc. were photographed and construction details and costs analyzed This study produced a number of interesting facts. It was shown that homes CAN be built, but that many ordi narily used building materials are scarce and substitutes must be used; construction costs are high, making the ex pense of residential building much greater than in normal times; many people are waiting of materials can be obtained and skilled labor is more readily obtainable to assure speed in construction. These findings conform to those produced in less detailed study at Koseburg where only a small percentage of prior ities issued have leen used. Because private capital is not going into home construc tion, except in emergency cases, heads of Douglas county industrial firms have been urging public housing to relieve local critical shortage of living facilities. They contend that only by erection of dwelling units through public funds Can provision be made for the workmen necessary to main tain adequate production of essential materials. bones as you talk to people. GENEHAI.LY these English farmers like American farm machinery. They say it is hon estly built and stands up to Its Job. Captain Bom ford, however, says our cultivating machinery is geared to run too fast. In his own machine shop he Is doing some Interesting work In the way of Intermediate gear boxes to slow it down. His ideas on the subject im press one as sound. In their In tensive crops, such as vcgethles, they plnnt the rows much closer together than is our practice. That requires more careful hand ling of the cultivating tool. But the Captain's ideas go farther than that. By slowing them down. he makes his machines to do a tiKlTEK Job. He shows you whole fields that have been machine-tilled entirely with NO hand work. He says about a quarter of a mile an hour Is the ideal speed ideal because it SAVES COST.
