That Is quite an achievement in
food production.
rHE British farmer now is doing
quite well indeed, and admits
It. 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.
