LET TIE FARMER KEEP
READY FOR WAR WORK

when our soldiers face the Ger.
mans in the trenches we do not expect
them to be equipped with rusted and
broken weapons. We want them to
have the best modern war equipment
and to be trained to care properly for
this equipment" says James Arentson,
farm machinery specialist, division of
extension, University OF Tennessee,
Knoxville.
1--WE believe that the present war
will be won by the man behind the
plow," he continues. IF this is true,
it certainly behooves US to keep that
implement in the best possible condi-
ton.
Every effort should be made this
winter to put the farm implements in
such condition that there will be no
loss of time in the field next spring.
II. Prevent rust and rot by provid-
ing a good shelter. Paint where neces
sary.
"2. Thoroly clean and oil all work
ing parts.
20. Apply axle grease to all polish
ed surfaces, such as cultivator shovels,
corn planter shoes, plows, etc.
~. Order all needed repairs at
once.
IS. Make repairs this winter and
plowshares, cultivator shoveis, etc.
sharpened before you need them.
