Those chapters which have on hand
heavy yarn for knitting sweaters are
now urged to have this used during
the month of August, when there may
be a scarcity of yarn suitable for
socks. Chapters deciding to follow
this suggestion and knit sweaters can
obtain the new directions by applying
to headquarters.

In Atkinson, N H., the farm tractor

horses.
A 20-horse-p power tractor, as shown
In the picture, was used In con1unc-
ton with the regulation road machine
for rounding off the surface OF the
road and cleaning out cutters. IL was
found that the tractor not only easily

four required with the former system.
Besides, double the ground is covered.
