Farm Implement Repair Week

P G. Holden in an article in the Palladium
Monday, entitled "Observe Farm Implement Re
pair Week" pleads for an intelligent study OF the
factors involved in the movent. He believes that
inefficient machinery will handicap to marked
degree the efforts of farmers to raise big crops
from good seed on fertile soil, or in other words,
attention must be paid to farm machinery if eff
ficient results are to be expected.
The week of March to has been set aside
by the National Food Administration as period
in which the farmer is asked to overhaul his ma
chnery see that it is in good repair, place orders
for broken and worn out parts and order new
machinery and tools.
The implement dealer and the farmer must
cooperate in the work. If the farmers makes
the survey, but the dealer is negligent in order
ing the parts little good will accrue. If the far
mer neglects to inspect his machinery and dis
covers next summer that an essential part in his
binder or mower is broken and that the dealer
cannot replace it at once, he will have no one to
blame but himself. Now is the time to place Or
ders for new machinery and TOOLS Transporta-
ton facilities are poor They may be worse next
summer. Farmers are urged to assemble their
machinery and tools so that when the spring
work begins, everything will be in readiness for
the drive that is to increase the acreage Of all
grain crops from to 81 percent over what is was
in 1917.

THE reason that you are asked
to eat corn and let the wheat be
shipped to Europe is that our Allies
have few corn mills and are IN
accustomed to the use Of corn and
the preparation OF corn breads. 1t
is not practical to ship large quanti-
ties OF corn meal, because it spoils

have very few home ovens; they
buy most of their bread at the

The mother should not receive feed

six times this amount OF money ex
pended in labor For example. one
ton OF good fertilizer will now cost
about $4,000. The plant food in this
quantity when applied to three acres
of land will give an increase of about
$50 pounds of lint cotton and 1.5OC
pounds Of seed The lint at soc per
pound amounts to 1925. 90, and the
seed at $4,000 per ton amounts ia
$4,000, making total OF $2S5.OO
Few business concerns net so pei

pays $1.00 per day for labor, the
$4,000 invested in fertilizer, when in

whereas. when invested in fertilizer. il
gives him a net increase OF $239. 90
Thus it can be seen the tremendous
advantage OF supplementing labor

Likewise an improved piece OF ma
