Production Limitations
Requires Check-up

With limitations on production,
it's extremely important that every
farmer gets full power and longer
life from his tractor by taking the
best kind of care of it, says E. R.
Gross, professor of agricultural
engineering at Rutgers university,
in offering tips on making adjust
ments to the valuable machines.
Gin order to get the maximum use
out of every ounce of fuel, it is nee
essary to adjust the carburetor
once or twice a year." Gross re-
minds farmers.
''This should be done with the
tractor warmed up and while in
operation on a normal belt load. A
carburetor is not easy to adjust
while on traction load. Too lean a
mixture of fuel is as bad as one that
is too rich.
although the right adjustments
vary, you can gauge it accurately

Wisconsin Researchers
Hint Greater Use of Urea

Urea will be postwar COW feed.
Such is the prediction of Wiscon-
sin research workers who are con-
tinuously searching for ways to cut
the cost of feeding. They believe
that if milk prices should drop after
the war, farmers will hold one high
trump in the form of cost-cutting
urea rations, now being tested at
the University of Wisconsin.
Heroine of this work is the
famous heifer with the "win-
dow in her side, who allows
research workers to take sam
Piles of partly digested feedstuffs
from her paunch. BY analyzing
these samples, it is possible to
learn what the animals diges-
tive system is able to do with
the various rations fed to her.
The scientists also tested the op-
posite extreme of the timothy-urea
ration by supplementing the ration
with molasses, whose sugars are
even more quickly fermentable than
starch. That worked all right,
but not any better than farm grains.

U. S. Shipbuilders Break
All Records to Break Axis

The United States is now
nearing the peak of produc-
ton in the greatest ship-build-
ing program in world history.
Not only have all previous
production records in this or
any other nations shipyards
been broken, but a shipbuild-
ing capacity far greater than
that of all the rest of the world
combined has been created.
1t now appears quite GER
tain that the 100000 dead
weight-ton goal set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for 1912 in the
directive he issued at the time
of his estate of the Nation"
address in January of this
year will be reached.
One of the outstanding ac-
complishments by American
shipbuilders in the past year
has been the reduction of
building time they have made,
particularly in the emergency
cargo vessels of the Liberty
ship type. These pictures
