Under the stimulus of support

Not speaking for the Farm

today indicated that it might be
possible to give the farmers a
moratorium. extending for year
or more ,on the huge sums which
farmers owe to the Farm Loan
Board through the intermediate

On it's part, the Farm Loan

plans to help those owing heavy
payments to Government agencies.
Some plan for extending the pay

been advanced in official quar-

The Federal Farm Board is
lending no money to farmers in.

Toward cooperatives affected by
the economic distress the board
will be lenient and extend the
time for payment. There have
been few minor losses for the
board so far, but, on the whcle,
repayment has been prompt.

Sometimes there Is peculiar feel" at the steering wheel that seems to warn the driver of some- thing gone wrong.
 The motor may be humming along in tip-top shape. Yet there it is, q sort of drag on the car, a feeling that the engine Is pulling harder than usual.
 The steering, too, seems more difficult and the wheel must be gripped tight to keep the car from swerving out of control.
 Usually this is a sign of an un- der-infiated or fiat tire in front. But sometimes, even with the front tires in good shape, this occurs. Then tn ecause may lie in the fact that the pitch, or toe-in, of the front wheels may be out of adjust ment, enough to make control Of the car difficult.
 Perhaps even the caster, or slant, of the front axle may be off de- gree or two, and the wheels may be shimmying as a result.
 Tires, for the easiest driving, should be kept inflated at the pres
  facturer.
 Too much pressure will cause susceptibility to hard knocks from Irregularities in the road. and so make riding uncomfortable. Too little pressure makes riding easier. but causes difficult steering and renders the tires open to greater wear and tear.
 The front wheels have to fulfill three important requirements in order to make driving easy and riding comfortable.
 First, they must have a definite pitch or inward slope. so that the bottoms are from one to three inches closer than the tops.
 Second, they must "toe in,' or stand inwards horizontally as well as vertically, SO that their forward edges are closer together than the rear.
 Finally, the axle has to have a definite tilt or caster, which pre- vents shimmying or wandering or the wheels.
 If the pitch or toe-in of the front wheels are off just an inch, the tires will drag a mile sidewise in every 16 miles the car goes for ward, engineers have calculated
 That's what causes not only un- due wear on the tires, but that un- comfortable feel" at the steering wheel, the kind that makes you think heavy weight is dragging behind. In fact, steering Is much more difficult.
 Unequal pressure by the front brakes, or a sudden hard twist in turning corner may upset the balance of the front wheels. A slight shock. a bump against curb
