low level of increase that implement prices have been kept at a low level is clearly shown by the comparison of dominion bureau of statistics index figures which give an increase in all commodities since 1941 of 82 3 as against an increase in a comparable index for masseyh arris implements of only 66 5 this low percentage of increase too is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials of 93 9 and of masseyharns hourly rates of pay of 165 as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above also the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 66 5 there has been an increase m the price of farm products of 93 8 and the scarcity of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175 3 the partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has been made possible by the contmued great world ttemand for farm mechan ization giving a volume that permits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing
