was a poor farmer al around.
The United States department Of
agriculture cOrrObOrafes the testimony
Of the old gentleman in lts general
application. Good farmers. says the
department, take cnre Of their lmple-
menis. They may not always find II
convenient or profitable 10 build eI-
pensiye sheds for their tools. but they
vii manage 70 protect them from
moisture iE one way or another.

In this day Of complicated machin-
cry most farmers probably give little
thought 10 the care Of 10 simple an
implement az a plow. Dut. says the
department, more effort has been e1-
pended In the slow process Of develop
ing this seemingly simple tool than
in Tint of any other implement on the
farm. II n the basic tillsge tool. the
fundamental farm implement, II T.
richly entitled 20 be properly cared
for when not In use.
When laid by, say the Implement
experts. the plow should, II possible
be stored In d dry place. away from
contact with the ground. In sny cass
the bright parts should always b.
coated with grease 10 prevent rust
Once the mold board and share have
became pltted with rust. an efficient
Job Of blowing cannot be done until
the corroded parts again have ae
quired n polish by use.
The department of agriculture, o
course, does not stop with the ploy
in It's ndm0nItlon IN this regard. Har
rows. also relatively simple but tire
mendously important implements. are
next 10 plOws. most generally neglect
ed. Many farmers who would not Del

say the experts, sfe careless ~
harrows and other implements Of thl
type. But these, also, represent capiti
