Show PROTECT YOUR FARM MACHINES Tho loss In farm machinery by exposure ex-posure to weather has always been tremendous. UnJesaMs'tial precau- tions are taken this loss will be very much increased this year. All kinds of farm machinery have increased in price but It takes no more exposure to put a high priced implement out of commission than It does a similar Implement that cost much less. hTe greater the Investment the greater the time and expense that can profitably prof-itably be spent in protecting it. A man can profitably spend more to protect a machine that costs $175 than he could have spent to protect the same machine when he could buy it for $125. Furthermore, tho protection of the farm machinery Is of utmost Importance Import-ance this year for the reason that it has never before been necessary to consider. Heretofore a man could always purchase a new machine as soon as his old one failed to' work, provided he had tho price. Whether or not it will be possible next year for all to purchase farrn Implements and machines, who desire to do so, Is a question. Manufacturers are experiencing great difficulty in obtaining ob-taining material and there Is great possibility that they will not be able to meet the demand which Is likely to be considerably greater than normal. nor-mal. Every machine or Implement that with good care will render service ser-vice for another season should receive re-ceive the best of care. To put machines under cover as soon as the season's work with them Is over Is ono of tho most effective means for lengthening their lives. Each additional hour of use obtained obtain-ed from a machine Is an eulvalent to reducing the price of that machine, ma-chine, Other protective measures which are worthy of special attention at this time are to go over every ma- chine carefully, tightening the bolts, replacing broken parts, and oiling, all parts that are likely to rust. Paint is also an economical preserver, of farm machinery. Utah Farmer. |
