In our previous articles we have mentioned various ways at Increasing the not larm revenue per farm lomily by stepping up total volume by lmprovrng qual lty to get top prices and by re ductng the cost per unit pro duct and by careiul longrungs planning to induce product most likely to In demand Today plan to discuss Tha Machine Age as applied to arm ing or How to get the heoetIt at modern power equipment with out losing the arm Intha pro cess This Is real problem lot easier stated than solved Due In part to growing farm labor shortage and in part to the real advantages at much of our PA Mm modern power equipment most at our terms have gradually shifted Iron horsepower and man power to gas and hydro op erated equipment Ior moot Iarm operations There are tow Jobs still lelt to be done by hand such as picking strawberrls and rasp berries but tor the most part there Is machine that can be bought to do the job it you have the money BIG INVESTMENT generation or so ago In the horsepower ago at ismiing few hundred dollars would uip young couple starting whereas today an investment at several thousands ineouipmeat Is required tor start Occasion ally find the Investment In power Is and machinery adds up to nearly as much as the term is worth which at course Is more than most iarmers can at tord 0n the other hand we cannot aiIord to do without the advan tages oi the machine Let us take lust one Job plowing as an example To plnw with horse power today would probably cost trom no to $12 per acre II we could find the man and the team to do the job custom tractor operator would charge mm 38 to $4 an acre to do the same job farmer owning his own threeplow tractor with at least souhours tractor work to do per year to take care at the over head could probava cut the an at plowing by one or more per acre and large diesel trac tor operating under prairie con ditions can plow even cheaper TOO LITTLE WORK 0n ttla other hand with $3 000 tractor on small farm with toolittla work to do plowing may cost more than tho $10 to $12 per acre suggested as the present cost of horseplowing All of which adds up to the act that modern power equip ment can only pay its way it we have enough proiitnbla work to do to keep overhead costs at reasonable level It also adds up to the tact that low at us can afford to own all tho power equip mant that we might want What then Is the answer First beiore adding to our equipment we should aatist our selves that there is enough work to be done It not we have two choices to hire the work done by custom operator or to take on custom jobs to build up big enough work load to pay the hills second answer to the arm equipment problem is cooper Must Have Enough Work For All Power Equipment tive or shared useot the more costly yet essential machines Many lamily or neighborhood groups have groven that this is practical an workable method at keeping costs down the mull requirement being no adequate amount of goodwill between member at the group VARY IN SIZE Then groups vary in also ac cording to the equipment to be used and tbescresge each ma chine can take care oi modern iorage harvester may well serve to till the silos or ten or neighbors in community whereas we seldom Ilnd more than three or our sharing the use at manure loader Likewise the use oi combine is limited to the acreage at grain It can thrash In an average season The new hay conditionérs that cost around 00 are in my opinion too costly to handle only utoaoacresoihayperyear but this machine promises to do an exceliem lob on 200 acres or more at bay reason other maoh hes not so depen dent on the limited harvest sea son lor their use such as bull dozers and ditching equipment are best operated on ocustnm basis In some cases municipali ties have made some of their power equipment available for special iarm lobs in the season at cost All of these methods at heap lag the cost of iarm equi meat down to reasonable love have their place and it Is up to each at us to consider which method is best In our particular cuss scum SIMCOE Ice Lack Of Power Imprisons Residents thick cooling oi Ice para lyzed the southern part or Sim coeCounty this morning as power
