‘The Farm of Today
And 25 Years Ago
PROF. R. W. BLASINGAME, OF
STATE COLLEGE TELLS HOW
MATTERS HAVE CHANGED

The picture certainly has
a boy on the farm. At that time we
were very much isolated. We were
guyed by the fellows when we did get
to town once in a while. And back
on the farm things went along very
slowly, by main strength and awk-
wardness.
well with a bucket and rope; wood cut
with the axe and crosscut saw; trans-
portation was in the buggy or wagon at
slow speeds over mud roads; bath-
rooms, furnace heat, lights, sewage
disposal, telephones, radio, fly screens,
automobiles, tractors, trucks and the
like were in most cases unknown.
Then, indeed, it was a privilege to live
tage to be country bred.
opinions often
people of that day.
Different Today
Things certainly are different in
Pennsylvania today than what 1 was
accustomed to in my youth. Today
most people who work in town live in
the country or as far away from the
“maddening crowd's ignoble strife’ as
they are able to get. In many sections
of this state the people who live on
farms have every convenience less
many of the inconveniences of city
life. In the past few years, several
thousand concrete septic tanks for
sewage disposal have been installed on
Pennsylvania farms. This method of the
disposal of wastes from the home is
quite successful and satisfactory. The
prevalence of septic tanks is not as-
tonishing because there are over 40,-
000 of the 172,000 farms in the state
which have running water in the
home. This is a ratio of almost 1 to 4.
Almost 40,000 of these farmers have
heating systems in their homes, 50,000
enjoy radios while more than 73,000
can step to the telephone and call up
the best markets for farm produce in
the United States.
Power Equipment
During the past decade when rapid
headway was being made in the con-
veniences of the farm home, Pennsyl-
vania farmers have been keeping up
with and beyond the country in the
use of power equipment. For in-
stance, in 1930 over 130,000 automobiles
were owned by Pennsylvania farmers
and almost 40,000 were operating motor
trucks. In the same year, Pennsyivan-
ia farmers were using 62.000 gas en-
gines and almost 30,000 tractors. No
industry usually enters such a vast
power and machinery program as this
without a thorbugh-going engineering
analysis of the whole situation. How-
ever, thesé greai® changes in farm en-
gineering have been made in Pennsyl-
vania agriculture without one hardly
realizing what was happening.
It is true that agriculture employs
more primary horsepower than all of
the industries combined; ranking next
to transportation in this respect. It is
right and proper that this tremendous
increase should be made in the use of
hanical power, for the rest of the
rid has been advancing. And the
basic industry, agriculture, is run by a
group of men who in the final analysis
knows about more different lines
than any class of people. This
is perfectly capable of directing
m

nore
of WO k
nt

its own destinies
With: the advent in 1925 of the all-
purpose tractor, which will do every
i field job cheaper and better than by the
{ old method, mechanical power is sure
to go ahead by leaps and bounds in the
{ future. In the period from 1925 to date
eleven other general purpose tractors
have come on the market. In fact ev-
ery well known tractor manufacturer is
offering an allpurpose tractor and a full
compliment of tools to go with it. At
Penn State we have purchaed a crop
of corn complete to harvest with 5.5 man
hours. This is about the time required to
plow an acre with a team. We have also
grown crops of potatoes in 9 man
hours, whereas by the old method it
requires about 50. In the years to come
celebrations will be held and histories
written about the appearance of the
general-purpose tractor back in 1925.
Light, Heat and Power
Most of the foregoing data was taken
from the last “Crop and Livestock Re-
port” issued in January 1930. Since
that time, to almost the end of 1931,
there has been considerable increase in
the facilities of farming.
Recent reports from the Joint Com-
mittee show that over 7,000 miles of
country electric lines have been built
since the Pennsylvania Plan went into
ffect. This gigantic rural electric plan
has cost about 14 million dollars. There
are now 150,000 rural customers 38,000
of which are farmers. About every far-
mer in four in Pennsylvania then has
high line current. He can fill silos, grind
feed, pump water. heat hotbeds. heat,
water, cool milk and sterilize milk uten-
sils; light the poultry house,
chicks and run the incubator; separate
cream, churn, light the barn and milk
the cows. And in the house we find the
electric refrigerator, range and the
countless other electrical applications.
Private Plants
In addition to the high line current
hook up there are in this state over
ten-thousand private lighting plants.
Thus the total number of farmers’ in
Pennsylvania who can come in and
turn on the “glim” is upward of fifty-
thousand.
The picture now with thousands of
niles of improved highways, and every
neans of communication and all the
onveniences known to society avail-
ible on the farm, the country is Fast

crat as it was in George Washington's

aires and he was a farmer.
