Breaking the land with three-horse plow?, and shallow and level cultivation of a growing crop. CHAPTER XIX. THE COTTON FARMER S EQUIPMENT OF TOOLS It is doubtful if any factor has contributed more to the advancement and progress of Amer- ican agriculture than the improvement of farm im- plements and machinery. When one contem- plates the enormous yields of American corn, wheat, cotton, oats, potatoes and other crops, he is struck with wonder and amazement. What a record our farmers have made ! ...But have you thought of the debt we owe to inventors and to makers of tools and implements, without which these tremendous yields would be impossible ? Unfortunately for him, the cotton farmer has not had such advantages as his brother farmers in the use of labor-saving machines and tools. On far too many farms their use is limited indeed, and often we find only the one-horse plow and the hoe. Cotton farming can never be profitable where this is true. The use of inefficient tools also means an economic policy at variance with the advance- ment and progress of civilization, since it restricts the possibilities of land and labor, and decreases their potential contribution to the human race.
