ALL The Progressive Farmer Specials none seems tojbe vjF more appreciated by our readers than the annual Farm implement bpecial. 1 here is good reason for this, tpo; for one of the great needs of Southern agriculture is thesub: stitution of improved farm implements ahA abundant horse ! and mechanical power for; the crude, out-of-date equipment and the human muscle now so largely depended upon; ' " , One reason for our low yields 'and small Iprof its is to be r found in our inefficient farm equipmentjand it cannot be too often said that just as long as we try to farm, with such equip ment are going to be left behind in the march of prosperity . by the f armers who use more power and better tools and so maKe ineir moor count ior more tnan ours. C- . . ; , . , That is the sum of the whole matterthe labor of the man , who ;uses, poor tools does not .count as it should. - w r X; Take the man who breaks land with a one-horse plow the; man who plants his corn or cotton by hand, the man who , fpllows a bull'tongue; or double-shovel Across: the field, the jnan who cuts -grain-with a cradle or pulls fodder by: hand these men in the veryi nature otthings cannot gerthe returns should 40i and' this is' a; sadly mfstaken policy!
