Mr, CHI EERY CAPE About 50 p r cent of
all repair costs of farm m?chinery
arc due to machinery beint left out
in the weather. How is the time to
diagnose mn-chinery "ills" in order
to be able to make repairs during
slack seasons unr1 rainy days with
ont waiting time, in looking for dam
aged parts. The general f• rm ma
chinery situation Is somewhat im
proved over last year, but there is
no reason to believe there will be
enough machines to fill all orders.
For this reason, it is esp daily
important that every farm, r keep
machinery conservation for- .most in
his mind and make the best possible
use of present machinery.
