W you can grow the higgest cab- bage this year you're entitled to have a swelled he&d, The ever-increasing perfonnanci; and etfdciency of the tractor during the first part of this century does not mean that in the near future the horse will have disappeared as a fac- tor oif importance in world agricul- ture, says an editorial of "World Crops,"' a magazine printed in Great Britain and distributed throughout the world. According to this article, there is no reason to believe, as some proph- ets do, that the horse "will survive merely as an instrument for sport and recreation, a charming relic of a bygone age." On the contrary, the editorialist writes, the horse has, and will continue to have, a definite part to play in the farm economy for many years to come and, indeed, indefinite- ly. It will supplement the work of the machine an dtheir roles are com- plementary, a sort of s>Tnbosis, in fact. Poont is given to thas in a recent circular rl' the British Ministry of .Ajgricuiture which descrilbes the al- arming decline in the number of farm horess during the past decade. The circLJiar stresses the fact that trac- tors have to depend on imported fuel oil, while the horse "proceeds undoi' its own steam generated by homie- grown food." "Even assuming that adequate sup- plies of tractors, sipare parts and fuel can be relied upon," says the writei- in "World Crops," "there are still many oi:casions when the horse can be more suitably employed than the tmctor. Smaller fa^rms with, say 100 to 125 acres of arable land, jws- sessing only one tractor, will almos" certainly require two horses at least," The editoriail goes on to point ou' that the tractor is particularly valu able for getting heavy work don â-  quickly, hut numerous light jobs i^tâ- ' more cheaply and efi'iciently done by hoi-ses. esipe<'iallv when conditions aro wet, owino- to the lower compressive effect of the horso. In some condi- tions, "the souii'p of the draft animij is a source of organic manure, has o be taken into alrcount." "It is not really a question of com- petition between the animal and the tractor." concludes the odit!>ria/list, '^biit rather one of deciding the oon- aFtions under which each can !)e u.sed to the best advantage. They are. in fact, complementary and not competitive." Junior Baseball Team Playing Good Ball Shallow Lake gave Flesherton junior baseball team a drubbing en Friday evening, when they romped h'wne with a 12-3 win.
