Duncan & Co. 1314c Economy vs. False Economy 4 Nobody denies that "Economy"must be the watchword in fruit districts this year. That is admitted by all without dispute. But "Economy" is a word much abused and "false economy" it worse than none at all. Economy does not mean a bull-headed RESOLVE to squeeze the eagle on every dollar till he screams.. . Nor does economy mean hanging on to every nickel regardless of conse queneefc A dollar spent judiciously will al ways save from one to ten or even more later In the season. Suppose you resolved not to spend a cent this year for spray material. You could devote your time to going through the operations of spraying, us ing clear water, because it didn't cost you anything, at least It Is cheaper than lime and sulphur.. .The chances are you would lose your entire crop. If you had spent $50.00 for pray ma terial, you would have saved your crop, and made perhaps a thousand dollars. This (50.00, In other words, would save you a thousand later surely a good investment. "Somewhat overdrawn" we hear you ay and yet, through just such false economy are you losing money by using old implements which only half do their work. Improvements are being made every year on farm tools, new implements are being in troduced.. .All tend to a more econ omical cultivation of the soil. Fifty years ago, the cast iron walk ing plow with a wooden beam was the only Implement used to turn the soil, and the prevailing motive power was oxen. The cradle was the only har vesting machine, and the flail thresh ed the grain. Then the farmer could haul the entire working paraphernalia of his farm In one load. ..Since then marvelous strides have been made In developing and perfecting agricultural Implements. To Improved farm machinery can be attributed our ability to produce enough to supply our needs, and a surplus for other nations.. .Sixty-five years ago we did not produce enough Wheat to feed our own people, when eighty per cent of the population lived on the farms.. Today, with a greatly increased population, consuming double the amount of wheat per capi ta, thirty per cent of our people are producing an abundance for all and a goodly amount to be exported.. .This is all due to Implements which lessen the time and cost of production Sixty years ago it required three hours of labor to raise one bushel of wheat and today it requires but ten minutes. The cost then was 17.3 cents per bushel, now it is 32 cents. It required four and one-half hour to produce one bushel of corn; today forty-one minutes.. In 1860 it required thirty-five and one-half hours to produce a ton of hay, and now but eleven and one-half hours. Then it cost in labor $3.00 per ton; now, $1.29. When we consider the great ad vance In the cost of a day's labor since then, we will have some Idea of the part implements play in assisting the farmer. We must also remember that the price of farm machinery has not advanced in proportion to farm products and farm labor. The aggre gate saving to the farmer on account of improved implement represents a large per cent of his net profits. During the year 1900, implements aved in human labor $682,000,000. Last year the American farmer bought $100,000,000 worth of mchinery, but It saved for him in labor more than $800,000,000. As necessity demands It, It Is reas onable to suppose that new Inventions will further Increase the production of the farm a"d decreace the cost. There Is a moral to this well worthy -of your earnest consideration. We sell these labor saving devices, and weliome the opportunity of prov ing to you that a few dollars spent for a new tool which will save you time and money is true economy. BUSINESS SIDE OF FARMING DISCUSSED A new 87-page bulletin on the busi ness side of farming by Dr. Hector Macpherson, Professor of Economi 8 at the Oregon Agricultural College is now being distributed by the college to the farmers of the state who re quest It. The material for the bulle tin, which Is entitled "Practical Prob lems in Rural Economics," has been carefully selected by the editor from Information he has collected with the assistance of progressive farmers of Oregon and neighboring states. The bulletin presents first a thor ough discussion of some fo the Impor tant problems of agricultural produc tion, including general farming, dairy ing and the co-operative. management of creameries, condenseries and can neries. The marketing question Is dis cussed from every angle and specific examples presented In evidence of the advantages which have ben gained by domestic communities in foreign countries by the adoption of the co operative system of marketing all forms of farm products. In the section of the bulletin dealing with the purchase of farm supplies, Dr. Marpherson gives the history of the movement toward buying farm supplies through the agency of the various farmers' organizations and cites local cases where the saving has been us high as 40 per cent. This publication is the second of a series which the college expects to Is sue from time to time In the Interest of Improved business methods for the farm. Read the News It tells It all.
