p, I. I. Department of Agriculture,

What this means to the poultry producer is that he can pay for a poultry house lighting time switch and the complete installation about three times over in one year, from every 100 hens he has. ' It can be definitely stated that an artificial lighting control system installed in a poultry house, will, prduce as many dollars additionall profits per dollar invested as anyl other equipment that can be usedl on a laying farm.

INFORMATION?

Now that the long winter eve- nings are here it is at good time to catch up on reading. All those articles in farm magazines which caught our eye last summer but with no time for reading were laid aside. may be taken out and ex- amihed more closely. In the last issue of a quarterly farm maga- zine there are excellent articles on swine feeding. pasture man- agement. machinery, insects. stall construction. etc. Some of the art- icles may not apply to our type of farming but many are useful and interesting. It is truly amazing the number of farm publications being circulated devoted entirely to Agriculture. Even the ads are often

interesting and contain useful ideas. f Another source of information

and new ideas on farming is the stock of bulletins and leaflets printed by the various branches of your Department of Agriculture. This material is available. free of cost. just for the asking. Thai older bulletins were often lengthyi and sometimes difficult to under- stand. The result was that many readers never got beyond the first page. However. this has all been changed. Attractive leaflets, with color pictures. printed in every day language dealing with one topic are available on most every phase of farm. home and garden endeavors. For example, there is a three-page circular (one full shut. folded in 2 places! dealing with sweet corn. Under the head- ing of varieties. soils. fertilizer. planting, cultivation and care. harvesting and marketing, yield. preparation for the table and pestl control, we find everything we' need to know in growing sweet corn. lnforniatoin of this type-has been printed to answer enquiries received by Agricultural Repre-

"HIGH cosr MACHINERY” ;

Everyone will agree. that it costs a lot of money to equip ll farm with the necessary machinery. But just what is the necessary machinery for the modern farm? In order to answer that question one would have to first decide in a business-like way just which com- bination of machines and size of each machine will actually repre- sent an investment in this busi- ness called farming. Too many or too few macines will not do the job most efficiently. In the same way a tractor which is too big for the equipment it is ex- pccicd to pull or for the size of the farm represents a loss on the investment. '.

The next thing which must be conaidered is the long-term nul- look. is this combination of ma- chines going to be flexible enough

to be adapted to changing farm conditions. crops. etc. In other. words it would be unwise to in-l vest in an expensive piece of ape- cializcd machinery when the pro- spects for a strong. steady market for that particular crop is doubt-l ful. Many of the newer machines are designed to do more than one job on the farm. This again will help to reduce overhead costs pro- vided full use is made of the ina- chine.

However. neglect is the most costly item w neglect of high cost machines makes them very expen- sive machines. Modcrn power ma- t-liiticry requires more special care due to the fact that there are gem eraliy more working parts. This involves regular greasing. oiling. and adjusting.

The most frequent type of neglect is observed after the ma- chine has been used. Too often it is left n the corner of the barn- yard to rust and rot until needed again. The plow is a very good example. The hours spent scouring dusty shares and the extra power required to overcome clogging moldboards in one year would easily pay for R bit of grease or rust - preventing compound for; the life of the plow - to My Mihf ing of the extra wear and tear caused by rust.

In the same way the useful life of any machine may be lrelily prolonged by keeping it lubricated, adjusted. repaired. free from cor- rosion and rust. and under cover when not in use. This is some- thing we can all do to lower the coat of machinery -- this is I I005 time to do it..
