Farmers who immediately take measures to protect themselves against any possible shortages in machinery or repair parts will save -themselves and their neighbors money and trouble. The first step in this preparedness campaign is the impaction of all machinery and equipment to find broken or worn parte that are likely to fail the next time the machine is used. Some farm machinery will have to be partially dismantled before the amount of wear and tear on parts can be determined. If repair pa^ts arc needed, labor can be saved by leaving the machine torn down until th« parts are obtained. However, bolts, washers, keys, and other small parts of the machine should be placed in a container so they can not be lost during the period of waiting. The second step in getting the machines ready for 1943 is to order needed parts immediately. This should be done whether or not the dealer says they are available. Back logs of orders for parts in the manufacturers' files are powerful arguments in getting supplies of materials for filling the orders. While the machines are being inspected, all loose nuts and other minor lacks of adjustment should be corrected. Excessive vibration of machinery in operation decreases its efficiency and increases chances RINGWOOD ,, Lieut, and Mrs. Ralph Smith and Mrs. S. W. Smith visited Arnold Smith at Dixon Sunday.

Good Farm Pasture Will Aid Uncle Sam Good farm pastures will become as vital as munitions factories in Uncle Sam's war program as the demand for more meat and dairy products increases in months to come. "The farmer's surest recipe for meeting this demand for food for our armed forces and our allies, lies in undertaking an intelligent program of pasture improvement that will insure him a good stand of legumes and grasses," says a statement of the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee. "To accomplish this it is important, first of all, that the soil's productivity be built up by the use of fertilizer containing phosphorus and potash. "Whether the crop is good or poor will be determined by the presence or absence of plant food. Thus it is important to have the soil tested to determine whether it is adequately supplied with the necessary elements. "Agronomists at state colleges or county agents are prepared to cooperate in making these tests ana likewise in providing recommendations covering the use of fertilizers on pasture crops in a rotation." will be stationed.

Soil Erosion Called A 'Fifth Columnist' No "fifth columnist" ever worked more quietly than does soil erosion on a farm, but one difference is that evidences of soil erosion are easily .seen. Every muddy stream that comes down the hill after a rain is a warning that somewhere on higher ground the soil has been loosened and is being carried away. So says Prof. Paul Hoff of the department of agricultural engineering at Cornell university. As to the objection of some farm operators who know they have an erosion problem but can't find time or labor to correct it, he says: "Soil erosion cannot be solved 'overnight; nor does it require a lot of work during the busy cropping season. A soil conservation program on any farm usually covers several years. "On most central New York farms, for example, such a program consists of rearranging the fields into long narrow strips that are level from end to end. Sometimes one or more diversion terraces are needed to protect the strip-cropped slopes from unusually heavy rains or rapid spring thaws. The level rows of cultivated crops and strips of sod help to hold the soil and water." During the past few years, about 2,000 farmers in New York state have installed strip-cropping systems on their farms. par MMt will be extended on notes approved by the clerk.
