Virginia Establishes
|0H-Highway Stops
For Military Conveys
Maps Showing Locations,
Proximity of Water
Sent to Army, Navy
By the Associated Press.

DIV tnc hSSOCldLSu ETeSs,
RICHMOND, Va, April 17-Vir-
ginia has become one of the first
States to set up off-highway stops
for military conveys.
Off-highway convoy stops are
those loops off the main highway,
formed @y travelled secondary
roads or abandoned stretches of road
that are suitable for parking pur-
poses.
There are hundreds of such loops
in Virginia, and the State High
way Department has distributed
more than 500 especially prepared
maps showing these convoy stops to
military and naval establishments.
The maps tell the number of We
hicles each loop can accommodate
and the proximity of water supply.
THE parking or halting of mill
tary vehicles, particularly long con-
voys," the department wrote COM
nianding officers, Ion the shoulders
of heavily travelled roads consti-
tutes a considerable hazard to the
parked vehicles, military personnel
and civilian traffic. 1t is felt that
these parking places would be util-
lied by convoy commanders if their
locations were known"

BY MALCOLM d. LAMBoRNE. Jr.

The question whether there is q
machinery and equipment shortage
facing American farmers, who have
been called on to step up food pro-
duction to help win the war, re-
mained unanswered here today as
officials of two Federal agencies in
volved differed on the question.
The Agriculture Department
charged with establishing what
equipment is needed by farmers for
their war program, maintained that
mo crop will go unharvested this
year for lack of machinery"
The War Production Board, which
has the final say on how much farm
machinery manufacturers can turn
out this year and for the duration
of the war, said, however, that grow
ing complaints received in Wash
mgton from farmers and manufac-
turers gave the impression that a
shortage exists.
The country's two largest mail
order houses-Sears, Roebuck and
Montgomery Ward-reported they
still had a sufficient stock of farm
tools, but were out of tractors ano
did not know when they could get
more.
From Montgomery. Md, came the
complaint of its county agricultural
agent that city dwellers buying
farms there were finding precious
little" farm equipment available and
that dealers stocks were running
low. The agent reported that un-
less these newcomers could borrow
equipment from neighboring farms
they would have to operate without
II.
Questioned on what relief those
starting to farm this year could
expect, David Pace. chief industrial
conSultant of the farm machinery
and equipment division of w. P. B.
said that if they can't get the
equipment. they are out of luck
Demand for farm machinery is far
In excess of the need" and many
farmers are ordering equipment
not absolutely essential to the job
at hand, he declared.
Wait on Harvest.
Asked whether the w. P. B. had
information on a farm machinery
shortage, Mr.. Pace, former vice
president and manager of John
Deere Plow Co., said some author
tiles believed that the only proof
would be failure to harvest certain
crops required in the food program.
IF you get the production of food
and fibers, these people say, then
you don't have shortage" he said,
w. P. B. has allowed manufac-
turers of farm machinery and equip
ment this year to turn out SO per
cent of their 1910 production level
but has stopped manufacture of
rubber-tire tractors. These COM
panies are now making steel
wheeled tractors which will be avail
able to farmers who can show a
need for them.

Two Federal Agencies Differ
On Farm Machine Shortage
Agriculture Says No Crop Will Go Unhovested
But P. B. Notes Growing Complaints

Because the Agriculture Depart
ment has been stressing for nearly
year the necessity of keeping farm
equipment in repair, manufacturers
of farm machinery parts are per-
mitted to produce an average of
$50 per cent of 1910 levels.
Stepped Up Peanut Pickers.
THE Agriculture Department is
the determining factor in deciding
what the farmer needs to carry
on his work" Ronald G. Van Tine,
information specialist, pointed out.
Recently the department told us
there was a shortage of peanut
pfckers-peanuts being in demand
for oil. So we released the critical
materials necessary for $500 peanut
pickers."
Mr.. Van Tine blamed lack of
transportation facilities and the fact
some dealers had been late in plac-
ing orders for reports of depleted
farm equipment stocks II some
areas.
The new farmers will have to
walt until the new equipment comes
n," he commented.
w. K. Charles, assistant chief of
press service and specialist in farm
machinery for the Agriculture De-
partment, said that American farm
ers have not been denied equipment
in order to permit stocks to be
shipped to Great Britain. He said
1t often was easier to send farm
machinery for cultivating crops in
England than to ship food from the
United States.
He pointed out that in many sec
tlons county farm machinery pools
have been formed under supervision
OF State agents through which
farmers could borrow equipment. In
addition, cooperative repair shops
have been set up with collaboration
OF county school authorities to in
struct farmers in the repair of
their machinery.
Farmers are learning to take care
of their machinery and consequently
they are going to last longer" Mr..
Charles said. The farmer might
ind a Steel-wheeled tractor harder
to operate than a rubber-tire one
but they will work just the same"
