18 Farm Machines On Rationed List David S. Weaver, in charge of Agricultural Engineering Extension at N. C. State College, announces that 18 types of farm machines are on the list to be rationed due to the war-time shortages of metals and manufacturing facilities. In order to obtain any one of these machines, a farmer must have his application ap proved by a special rationing com mittee which will be set up in each county in the state. The 18 types of machinery on the rationed list are: Combines, disc har rows, feed grinders, fertilizer dis tributors, grain drills, hay balers, lime spreaders, manure speaders, milk coolers, milking machines, pick-up balers, potato diggers, shred ders, corn pickers, beet lifters, beet loaders, grain elevators, and all kinds of tractors. "If you will need one of these ma chines for next season," said Weav er in a suggestion to farmers, "con tact your county farm agent who is making a survey to determine the needs of the community in order that allotments can be worked out." The special rationing committee for farm machinery in each county will be composed of three farmers, one of whom will be the chairman of the County AAA committee. The oth er two will be representative farm ers appointed by the County USDA War Board. In addition to the group of ma chines which are extremely scarce, there is a second group somewhat less scarce. These may be sold upon certification by the farmer to the dealer that the equipment is requir ed for current agricultural produc tion. A third group consists of items that may be sold without restriction. "The important thing now," said Weaver, "is for every farmer to re port to his county agent's office his prospective machinery needs for 194 J."

Glass Proves Aid To High-flying Bombers Glass goes to war, and the result is one of man's oldest known mater ials is helping our ultra-modern bombers fly higher than ever before.
