ORDER REPAIRS NOW

The U. S. Food Administrations has
issued a request to the farmers thru
out the country to order their next
years repairs at once. They are
making this request in order to re-
duce the labor shortage in the fac
tories to minimum and to save
transportation space.
Before the different machines are
stored away for the season they
should be completely overhauled and
the necessary repairs ordered at
once" says ]. w. Sjigren, of the
Colorado Agricultural College. Be
sides making the necessary repairs,
the wooden parts of each machine
should be given a coat of paint In
order to keep the wood from rotting.
All metal parts subject to rust. such
as plow shares, disks. and cultivator
shovels should be given coating of
some heavy oil or grease.
Wherever possible, the machinery
should be stored under some cover.
1t has been found that machinery
stored in sheds lasts twice as long as
machines stored outside subject to
all kinds of weather conditions. A
machine shed need not be an expen-
sive structure but 1t should keep out
of rain, snow and sunshine. Many
farms not provided with machine
sheds usually have small vacant
spaces, where the machines can be
stored IL taken apart. This will re-
quire great deal of time but farm
er can well afford to spend a great
deal of time in caring for his equip
ment during the present high prices
of farm machinery"

ALLIES ARE. FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without In
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Expv.,s from this country since It
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength Of those
who have been bearing the brunt of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing Its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
PruBsian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
In freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the na-
tions fighting for democracy: It must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help 1t would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry Into the war we nave Deen con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut on, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States In the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people.
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic, voluntary service of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
ticient to feed one-fifth of our popula-
tion. And this was done in spite OF
the fact that we entered the year with
