Loose Nuts Always
Cause Trouble

Tightening a nut on bolt is
probably the simplest and easiest
of all repair jobs on farm ma
chinery. Perhaps it is because the
job is simple, that many farmers
tend to overlook it and concen-
trate on major repairs.
Guy w. Gienger, University of
Maryland Extension agricultural
engineer, says it is not uncommon
for a farmer to spend a lot of
money on expensive parts, then
let the parts wear out quickly or
break because of a loose bolt.
81 saw good example of this
at one of the pillow adjustment
demonstrations I conducted a
couple of years ago." Gienger re
calls. "On this particular plow,
one bottom was loose and ploW-
ing deeper than the other This
was causing excessive wear due
to improper alignment and meant
more power was required to pull
the pillow. We got it in good shape
by simply tightening few nuts"
He points out that a loose mold
board could lead to more serious
trouble. "The moldboard on most
ploWs is braced and if the point
hits a rock or hard place in the
ground while this brace is loose,
it could easily result in a broken
boldboard"
Gienger adds that on modern
machines there are several types
of locking devices that prevent
nuts from working loose. "But
these devices do no good unless
the nut is turned down tight" he
says. THAT'S why your dealer
tells you to go over your ma
chine after the break-in period
and carefully check for any loose
nuts"

Drape Length Is
Vital to Windows

Curtain and drapery length is
an all-important factor in styling
windows, says Vivian L. Curnutt,
home furnishings specialist, Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
Service.
And with spring just around
the corner, you may be thinking
of new curtains or draperies for
your home. Keep in mind that
length is a primary concern,
whether you are styling new
ones or remodeling ones you have
on hand.
Miss Curnutt points out that
there are three curtain or drapery
lengths which are good. A most
popular one is the full length. 1t
should come to within one inch Of
the floor, and the effect-formal
or informal, depends upon your
fabric choice and its treatment.
