WHY is 1T?

The following question has
been asked: Why will farmers
build garage for his $500 auto
mobile aud let his $1,000 worth of
farm machinery stay out in the
weather?
Yes, why is it the casey Some
farmers buy expensive farm i'm
plements, use them a while and
leave them out in the weather
about the lot and actually in the
field for weeks. Money saved
is money made. There are sew
eral reasons why machinery
should be stored while not in use.
One reason is because they are
valuable, cost money and not to
store and take care of tools
means money loss. Then a
good reason why tools should be
stored out of the weather is that
one knows just where to go, to
get his tools and will find them
ready for use. Many times when
left out hunt must be made
weeks and months after last u.s.
ed and then when rounded up
they are in poor condition and
valuable time must be spent in
getting them fit for service.
A good tool house is a valuable
and very necessary part of the
farm equipment. In planning
the farm equipment the imple-
ment storage house should be
considered. It is we'll worth it's
cost.
