TIPS TO FARMERS
OF UNUSUAL Value

The following suggestions are ap-
plicable to every farmer who has ma
chinery, as a means of saving his ma
chinery and at the same time saving
money:
Store all implements as soon as the
seasons work is done.
When storing all parts hould be
When storing all parts should be
as to prevent rust.
Look out for worn or broken parts
on implements, secure all repairs in
the winter so that all machines will
be ready for use next season.
Get rid of WORKOUT machines. That
is, machines that will not go through
another seasons work, as labor is too
high and crops are too valuable to
risk a wornout implement.
In some cases cooperative use of
machines may help solve the problem
of harvesting crops in some commun-
tiles. 81 {;sEFGyJ
Never operate any machinery until
all the working parts have been well
fabricated.
Inspect your machinery often for
loose parts and tighten them imme-
diately.
