Farmers Get Gas For
Six Months

Farmers may obtain gasoline for
their tractors, engines and other
non-highway equipment for period
of six months instead of three
months under a change in rationing
regulations announced by the oPA.
The change is being made because
of the variability of farming opera
tions which frequently make it diff
cult for farmers to estimate their
requirements for only three-month
period. It will save the farmers
time.
