PUT IMPLEMENTS IN REPAIR
Troublesome and Costly Delays May
Be Avoided by Getting Tools in
Working Order Early.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)-
All users of farm implements should
anticipate, so far as practicable, the
necessity for repairs and requirements
sufficiently in advance of the working
season to make it possible to put their
implements in good working condition
before the spring operations begin.
This is the gist Of a telegram from the
secretary of agriculture to e. w. Nc
Cullough of Chicago, secretary of the
National Implement and Vehicle asso-
citation. Secretary Houston's telegram
was in response to one from Mr.. Nc
CullOugh advising him that manufac-
turers of and dealers in all lines Of
farm operating equipment have agreed,
in the interest of economy and conser-
walton, to join in urging farmers to in
spect their equipment and to order
necessary parts in advance of the time
they are needed.
Manufacturers and dealers declare
that if they can know sufficiently in
advance the needs of the farmers for
repair parts, these parts can be sup
piled when they are needed. If the
needs are not known to the manufac-
turers and dealers until the actual
time for use, troublesome and costly
delays are likely to be caused-delays
that may be felt in decreased produc-
ton at harvest.
