1.000 000 windm ills, .'¡00,000 individual

ures do not include nearly 5,000.000
passenger automobiles
which
are
owned by farm ers, as they are not pri
m arily production machines.
T h e re w ill always be plenty o f work
fo r human beings to do In farming.
F e w machines run themselves; few of
the kind th a t can run themselves can
do the varied things which must he
doen on the farm . So In machine tend
ing alone there w ill alw ays be the
need of human labor, though not so
much In proportion to the w ork done
as la needed to tak e care of the horses
and mules which m echanical electric
power Is displacing. T h ere w ill always
be farm s on which horses or mules
w ll do most of the w ork, farm s where
pow er from other sources cannot be
used economically.
It does not follow, however, that
swan small farms cannot bs largely op
erated more efficiently by tho aid of
mechanical power. There Is a great
deal of talk about the “farm of the fu

factory, with workers employed by the
