March D. g. 1918 has been selected by
the National Implement and Vehicle
Association and other allied organiza-
tions, and with the sanction of the
Food administration of the Department
of Agriculture and the counsil Defense
Farmers and users of implements
for the raising of farm crops are urged
to make thorough inspection of all
tools and implements before the above
date, and place their orders for such
repairs and tools with their Dealers be-
tween March 4th and 9th SO as to get
the orders punched, and try to be sure
of having their repairs in time. The
difficulty of securing malleable and
steel parts which render it impossible
for dealers to carry the usual repair
stocks together with the delays in
transportation render it Necessary to
place orders for your requirments early.
The warning has been given do not
fail to heed it by putting off ordering
your repairs until the day you want to
use the implement.
You lliw be performing an act of
loyalty by needing this appeal.
