MACHINERY AND FARMING

Aiding greater production Very little agricultural machinery is being bought to-day, and until there is more money in agriculture very little will he bought; but the ultimate success of agriculture depends more upon the economies of power and the machine than upon any other external aid. Just as in manufacturing industry, the use of power will tend to larger-scale production, to bigger economic units; but, after all, that is what is really meant by cooperation, the development of which will itself develop the use of power and machinery upon the farm.—H. G. Richardson, in the Journal of the Ministry of Agriculture, London.
