What steps should he taken in storing a tractor for the winter? A. If the tractor is equipped with rubber tires, block it up so the tires carry no weight. It is best to keep the machine under cover so the tires will not be ex posed to the sun. Also see that there is no oil or grease on the tires. Start the tractor every week or so and allow it to idle until the engine is warm. This wiM coat all engine parts, particularly the cylinder walls, with fresh hot oil and will prevent rust due to mois ture condensation. The storage battery should be kept fully charg ed or removed and placed in a warm spot. Q Will nitrogen be available for Farmers Federation W. R. LEDFORD, Mgr. faille erep r a 7 .

E. Perry, chair man of production of the Macon CouiMy Red Cross. But more and more and more workers are still needed, she adds, for it is the steady, everyday turn out that is necessary to produce the number of sailor caps ami of dressings that are so desperately needed. She emphasises that 9(1 percent of all bandages sent to our men ii actiqn are made by Red Cross workers. One all-day meeting was held a week ago to make bandages, and response to the call for work ers has been such that another all-day work day was held Tues day in the Red Cross work room over the Tavern. Sixteen work ers spent Sunday afternoon mak ing bandages. From knitting headquarters in the shop of Mrs. Reba T'essier on the court house square, comes word that 21 sailor caps have been knitted by members of the East ern Star. Next week a report will be made of those who have turn ed in as many as 10 caps each. It is understood that several wo men knitters are approaching that number. It was reported last week that 100 of the 600 caps for which yarn was sent to Franklin, had been made. An error was the word "made". Only 50 caps had been completed. Yarn for. 100 had been taken out for knitting. The total today is 65 caps fin ished, with yarn for approximately 450 more caps on hand.
