Farm Equipment
Dealers Meet

The Board Of Directors of the
Mar-Del-Va Farm Equipment Asso-
citation held their first Quarterly
board meeting in Baltimore, last
week. President Max P. Hughes of
Salisbury, Md, appointed various
working committees for this wear.
One committee in particular is the
committee for Soil Conservation.
The board discussed at length the
problems of Soil Conservation and
all agreed this project must be Civ
en- a helping hand from local levels
II our farms are to continue to pro-
duce the commodities needed for
our markets. A Soil Conservation
meeting embedding tho entire cas-
tern part of the United States will
be held in the Hotel Virginian at
Lynchburg, Va, on March goth. All
bankers, equipment dealers, farm
ers and any others interested in
Soil Conservation are invited to at
tend. This meeting is being called
to try and work out a better and
faster means of promoting Soil
Conservation at local levels.
Several legislative matters were
discussed one being, House Bill
Number 473. This bill deals with
the charging of Sales Tax on the
full List Price Of a piece of Farm
Machinery even though a trade-in
as part payment is accepted. This
bill if passed would require the
dealer to charge Sales Tax on the
cash difference only, on any sale
where a trade-in is accepted. When
the trade-in is sold Sales Tax would
be charged on it, thus eliminating
double taxation on part of a, sale
where trade-ins are involved. The
legislative committee Of the assO-
citation is working to get House Bill
473 made law at the earliest pos
sible date.
The next board meeting will be
called the latter part of May at
which time full reports of the above
committee members will be made.

Association includes farm machine
ry dealers from the states of Mary
land. Delaware, West Virginia, and /
Northern Virginia. The local assO-
citation is an affiliate of the Nation
al Retail Farm Equipment AssO-
citation whose headquarters are in

High School Play,
Promises Laughs

The rarest Of all rare things, an
entire evening of grand entertain
ment is promised to everyone
when the annual High School play
"Rest Assured is played here on
the evening Of April "a at the
Nome High School Auditorium.
This play has been a tremendous
success wherever it has been pre-
sented because it was written for
laughing purposes only. Well give
you a hint as to why the play is
SO unusually funny.
Mr.. Morlock's fidgety, nerv-
Gus, grouchy old goat who doesn't
like anything but money always
gripes about pains and aches,
feuds with everyone and he won't
let his daughter Mary, 20, become
engaged to Joe Lanconi because
Joe's papa is poor. When Joe's
papa, Luigi, comes over to plead
his sons cause, he's practically
booted out Of the house. Mr.. Nor
lock says if Mary WEEDS up with
Joe it'll be over his dead body.
Luigi says if they don't it will
be over his. So round and round
they go.
Luigi's always had a bad heart,
and well, the poor old boy just
can't take it-and he konks out.
The feud appears over. All is
lost. But whoa upl Hold the phonel
Luigi gets permission to come
back and haunt Mr.. Morlock, and
to continue haunting him until he
gives permission for the wedding.
So Luigi starts haunting in a
big way. He kick Mr. Morlock out
of bed, pulls the covers off him,
kicks him in the seat of his night
shirt, f1irts with his secretary
Poor Mr.. Morlock. He can't eat;
can't sleep. His family thinks he's
nuts. In his despair, he accident
ally takes too many sleeping pills.
Then it happens. He, too, kicks
the bucket. Mr.. Morlock says he
won't leave until things are settled
to his satisfaction, and Luigi says
he can't rest in peace until Mary
and Joe are married. So round
they 60 again.
The price of admission is only
81 and you'll find that it's the
very best laugh investment you've
made in many year. Just ask
any of the cast who are now busily
engaged in rehearsing this great
comedy and they'll tell you not to
miss crest Assured" at any cost.

Check Tractor
Oil Filters

PROPER CARE of the tractor en-
CINE calls for oil filters as well as
periodic cleaning, notes c. F. Becker,
assistant professor of agricultural en-
gineering at the University of Wyo-
ming.
He gives four pointers on Iubrica-
ton:
l. Oil filters are used to catch par
ticles of sludge and gritty materials.
If allowed to recirculate, these will
score moving parts. AS the deposit
on the filter increases, the flow of
oil through it is restricted, and after
long periods of time, the oil will not
pass through it at all.
2. 1t might be desirable to give the
engine periodic and thorough clean
ing. Commercial flushing oils are
available for this purpose-or half
and-half mixture of kerosene and
lubricating oil. During the flushing
process the tractor should be run at
fast idle for the recommended
period, but be sure there is oil pres
sure at all times while flushing.
3. Make sure the proper oil pres
sure is maintained. A very low pres
sure reading may result from an open
oil-relief valve, loose bearings, faulty
pump, or clogged and blocked-off oil
intakes.
4. Be sure to store oils in such a
way that water can not seep in and
contaminate the oil.

SETS MOUSE TRAP
UNDER GUTTER

81 HAVE had the best luck catch
ing mice around the poultry house
by setting the trap under section
of caves trough tipped upside down.
This prevents chicks and hens, as
well as cats and dogs, from getting
at the trap. Mice like to run through
such a cover and a trap set near
each end is very likely to get the
pests. find that cheese, banana. or
peanut butter make effective bait"

two heavy staples and dropping into

A spring under the upper staple with
