among the many things we liked about the royal visit was the way it chased the european war off the front pages of the daily press we sincerely trust that with the departure of their majesties in a

boadway service station phone 265 a public meeting in the vill age of richmond hill discussed tke inauguration of a weekly collection of the tin cans brok en bottles etc if the yonge street village carries out the idea it will immediately gradu ate from the tin can day group of towns like stouffviue where we clean up once a year like the boy who washes his feet once a year if richmond hill adopts the weekly collect ion of tin cans and bottles the householders will be assessed 25c a pickup or 1 per month for stouffviue that would be too rich for our blood and we would prefer to bury the cans than pay any such a charge why we got our winters ac cumulation lifted for 25c how ever while the tribune is not likely to advocate following the footsteps of richmond hill which we do not think is neces sary we see our annual can day being allowed to fall into the discard in such a way that it will soon be a thing of the past that would be a backward step and must not happen another spring an effort should be made to hold tin can day early enough to catch the business otherwise the late date promis es to can the can day at the annual convocation in the university of british columbia

to say nothing of the increased volume of coarse grains and all of it brought in and threshed in 1938 without the assistance of the erstwhile army of tens of thousands of harvest help from the east in the years not so long gone by thus does the mode of our lives and the methods of our callings change keeping pace with the progress being made in the scientific engineering and industrial realms the evolution of the combine to the small compact model now made available has revolutionized harvesting making it an easily undertaken task for the regular help of the farm its production at a cost to the farmer of but onethird the price of the earlier bigger models is an evidence of the contribution made by the implement maker to help the farmer meet the problems with which he is con fronted the lower operating costs of this machine and the reduction it enables to be made in the cost of harvesting saving as it does up to 1 5c a bushel for complete harvesting has meant in a great many instances a profit instead of a loss to the farmer power of course is the basis of the great mechanistic progress of agriculture and the record of attainment in making more efficient less costly and lower operating cost models available is an achieve ment that cannot be beaten by any other industry todays modern streamlined high efficiency tractors make earlier models look like prehistoric monstrosities and sell for about onehalf the price costing less than half to operate masscyharris is pleased to have taken a leading part in develop ing machines which are destined to play so important a part in making agriculture profitable the advent of the combine and now the greater popularity of the small combine has meant a striking decrease in the output of binders which records show reached the height of their volume in the years just previous to the war both in canada and the united states production in the latter country dropping from 215386 in 1914 to 3 1259 in 1937 thus losing the benefits of mass production gained in the years when the volume kept mounting apart from the tremendously improved product offered in the binder of today which accounts in no small way for its relatively increased price over prewar years the fact of the greatly decreased volume now manufactured makes the binder cease to be the criterion of values offered by the implement industry
