SPElKEARLY FOR MACHINERY
Greater Demand on Raw Mater
ial Makes Farm Implements
ScarCe-Buy Early

The farmer who does not resolve to
begin the new year with his thoughts
bent upon his machinery wants for
the 1918 crop is sure to be awakened
with a saddening jolt along about
blowing time, says the Country Gen.
tleman.
The tractor and implement manu-
facturers are up against n shortage
of raw material that can scarcely be
relieved in time to meet next years
war needs of agriculture. Instead Of
a spring surplus, or carry over, which
was the bane of the implement indus
try for so many years, there is every
likelihood Of n farm machinery famine
next spring.
Manufacturers have been begging
for Government aid ever since we en-
tered the war, but have made very
little progress in obtaining the sup
plies of raw material they were in
such desperate need of. In some high
circles in Washington the belief SEEM
ed to obtain that it was possible to
increase food production without the
aid of labor or machinery. Due al
lowance must be made for an enor-
mously greater demand for raw ma
terial products for armament and
ship building, yet it would be fatal
blunder not to recognize the indus
try that supplies agriculture with its
mechanical power rs n positively es-
sential wartime industry.
Perhaps the Government will act in
time slightly TO relieve the shortage
but no matter what is done at this
date tractor and implement manu-
facturers will scarcely be able to fill
the demands upon them.
Farmers who require tractors, till
age or harvesting machinery, station
airy engines, dairy-ban or hay-barn
equipment, tools, repair parts, or any
sort of mechanical appliance, will be
wise to make an early choice and get
their orders in. For 4 large number
of farmers to wait until the eleventh
hour to make up their minds will like
" prove disastrous to themselves
and to agriculture generally. 1t will
bring chaos and confusion upon a
great industry; it will further compli-
cate already intricate and battling
labor and transportation problems.
Those who make an early purchase
of any sort of labor-saving machin-
cry will render a definite service to
their country in q trying period.
