Greater eo operation botwoon
farmers and bankers so that tho
business or producing farm pro
ducts can be financed along the
same lines si the business of manu
facturing ami suiting merchanJIio
of alt kinds will cut tho coat of
food production and Incrcasa farm
profits, asserts George A. Woodford
In an artlcto on "Tho Itelatlon of
tlanklog to tho Iluslness of Farm
ing," In tho current Issue of Farm
Mechanics magatlne.
"In tho fifty years from 1840 to
1800, tho development of farm ma
chtnery enabled four men to do the
work that required 14," says Mr.
Woodford. "Today wo are faced
with the problem of so equipping
tho farms of the nation that one
man can produce as much as tho
four In 1890, or the 14 In 1840.
"More than that, we want to re
dace the day's work of that ono
iiiu 10 b normal lengio, euminnio
th unnecessary drugory, and of
ford him the conveniences and
pleasures that have mado city tlto
attractive,
"And still more. o must onabto
him to get greater production from
the land that bo now farms, for lit
tle new land la available, and the
over-Increasing demands of tho na
tion's population must be taken care
of by better mo of tho land wo now
have.
"Can It bo done?"
"Certainly It Is being done nn
many farms; modern methods, ma
terial and machinery that will ac
complish- this are now available.
Tried and proven, they stsnd ready
to help tho farmer produce bigger
and better crops In less time with
less work at less expense. .
'Farm life without the drudgery,
farm life with all modern conven
ience, farm life that Is more at
tractive. Interesting; and profitable
Is within our reach.
"Present-day methods of farming
with power enable one man In n
ten-hour day to plow 10 to 12 acres,
cultivate 14 to 20, disc, drill or hsr
vest 35 to 40 acres, and do all other
field work proportionately as tasi
They enable him to do his own
shelling nnd separating, to fill his
silo and handle other such Jobs
quickly and economically. Thoy re
duce to a minimum In fact, cm
many farms have eliminated the
expense and work of feeding and
caring for horses.
'Farm lighting plants not only
furnish modern light, but with tho
equipment that may be used with
them, removo the drudgery of milk
ing, separating, churning, washing'
and scores of similar tasks, that
'take the Joy out of life on the
farm. Yet 70 per cent of the farm
homes stilt use kerosene lamps.
"Transportation furnished by the
motor truck Is rapidly becoming a
necessity to tho successful farmer;
the automobile brings the city near,
with ull tho advantages, both of
pleasure and profit, that result
"Good seed, fertiliser, nnd Intelll
gent methods produco 60 bushels of
corn to tho aero, whllo 26 Is tho
present average; the efficient furm
or rulses 25 bussels of wheat where
others grow 15. And In thl wuy
onn aero Is mado to do tho work of
two, yet the labor required Is
scarcely Increased; In fact, by tho
use of tho best machiuory Is cut in
half.
"Thoro aro equally great posxlbll
Hies throughout tho list or farm
products. Puro bred livestock, with
proper caro and feeding, will bring
more than proportionately increased
returns.
"Hut you may say all this cots
monoy, n great deal of money, and
tho average farmer cannot afford to
mako use of the advantages offered
him, As un Invcstniout, they may
ult bring a handHomo pro'fit, yet It
thoy cannot bo paid for, how can
tho Investment bo mndo?
"There Is one answer that eovors
tho wholo question.
"Tho farm must bo put on n busi
ness basis.
"In business ono does not wait
for years until ho has saved enough
to pay tor a stock of goods. Ho goes
to the bank, and It his proposition
Is Bound, ho gota tho monoy and
uses It' to produco the profits that
onable him 'to progress rapidly, pro
viding, of courso, that ho has thu
ability to go with It.
"Jo doesn't buy on long tonn
