Today farm employment Is slight
ly under 10 million people, or 18
per cent less than the 12.000.000 of
1910. Yet. these farmers are able
to supply the nation with more
than enough food, even though our
population has increased 53 per
cent from less than 92.000.000 In
1910 to over 141,000,000 persons.
The Increased productivity of our
farmers is largely the result of the
high degree of mechanization of
our farms since 1910. This Is ex
emplified by the fact that In 1910
there were only 4000 tractors on
farms in the United States, but
today there are over 2.000.000.
The development and Improve
ment of farm equipment since the
invention of the McCormlck reaper
In 1831 has closely paralleled the
growth of our steel Industry, and
today steel comprises a major com
ponent In the production of farm
equipment In 1945, 1,120,320 tons
ot stesl were used in the produ.
tlon of farm equipment and f.
other agricultural purposes.

Typical of the amount of ttMl,
required to make each unit of farm
equipment Is the medium-sized, all-'
purpose farm tractor of 16 h. p.
which takes 1543 pounds of Tarious
types of steel, according to data,
supplied the American Iron and!
Steel Institute by a leading manu
facturer. A total of 340 poundi of
steel is used to make the tractor
transmission alone, while another'
301 pounds are neede'd In the man-'
ufacture of the engine and dutch.
The brakes, rims and wheels take
119 pounds of steel, and the rear1
axle requires almost 180 pounds'
more.

The Country Editor
Some of the most important things in life are taken for granted
and accorded scant consideration until they cease to function. For
instance, the occupants of a luxurious Pullman sleeper think little
about the wheels on which it rolls. The most vital things are
generally the least obvious. The country press goes in this cate
gory. But there would be no United States without the country
press, any more than there would be a Pullman car without a
wheel.
No nation in the world is so universally served with news
papers ns is the United States. But the average citizen doesn't
know this he takes the newspaper for granted even in the small
est town. And yet without the newspaper, community affairs
could not be conducted as they are. Try and think of your town
without newspapers, even the smallest weekly. Where would
you get the local news and the Intimate information on births,
marriages, deaths and the affairs of the community that at some
lime or other are so important to every family7 Where would you
read the proceedings of the county courts, the legal notices, the
personal columns, the news about the local churches, lodges,
and the advertising of the local merchants? The big city dallies
carry the world news, but they cannot carry the day-to-day hap
penings of the smaller towns and cities.
Along with, the school teacher, the local editor is responsible
for the education of the community. A good editor commenis on
activities, local, state, and national, that affect the lives of all
citizens. He discusses questfons from the standpoint of their bear
ing on community welfare. He must have a good working know
ledge of government, legislation, social conditions, industries,
labor, taxation the things that affect the working man, the
businessman, and the family. The local editor accepts a real re
sponsibility in publishing even the smallest weekly, for when
the reader sees something In print, he thinks It Is the truth.
How many people appreciate these facts that underlie the
ownership and publication of the 12,000 country newspapers In
the United States? Those papers are the greatest safeguard of
our nation's Independence. They are Individually owned, and the
vast majnrlly of their editors are well grounded In the Ideals of
Constitutional government, and are opposed to trends toward
socialism which disregard the Importance of the Individual. The
country press reaches a majority of readers In the United Slates.
It deserves more recognition than it receives. And in that respect
it Is like the wheel under a Pullman car, but with this difference:
It Is human and it can appreciate a word or act of encouragement
while upholding the rights of others. Industrial News Review.
