Show KEEPING THE TRACTOR BUSY Owners of Power Outfits Urged to Make Good Use of Them in Increasing In-creasing Food Supply. (Prepared by the United States Department Depart-ment of Agriculture.) Owners of tractors which are not kept busy through the plowing and seeding season will perform a patriotic patri-otic neighborly duty by granting use of these outfits to neighbors, who may be short of labor or hands to prepare seedbeds. A reasonable rate of hire for the tractor would enable the tractors trac-tors .to make a return during otherwise other-wise idle periods, but, most important, will make it possible for others at reasonable rea-sonable expenditure to have a full acreage acre-age and add to the nation's Important food supplies. The same might be followed fol-lowed with regard to horses and va- rious farm machines, which should not be allowed to remain idle when a food-producing food-producing neighbor can keep them busy on victory crops. |
