Those who delay may fail to get them later because of the Defense Pro gram and shortage of materials. Farmers are warned and urged to act now in accordance with the following program iostered by the Worth Car olina Agricultural Extension Service in conjunction with a nation-wide movement. Read and Act on this at once. Do it now, even though you need nothing more than a bolt or a hoe. BACKGROUND 1. In the "Food forFreedom" program, farmers - - - must produce more food, with fewer men. 2. Greatly increased use of types of farm ma- chinery is indicated. 3. Estimated need of 120 to 125 of normal de mand for new machines. 4. Metal available for only 75-80 of normal de .... mand for new machines. 5. Shortage must be made up by better use of ALL present machines. SOLUTION 1. Order ONLY such NEW farm equipment as is absolutely necessary. 2. Repair and recondition present equipment. a. Every farmer to make careful, machine by machine check for broken, weak or worn parts USING CHECK SHEET or similar list. 'These may be had from dealers or county agent's office. b. Explain USE OF CHECK LIST (to be du plicated in county as needed) why so simple a list is used. c. Classify needed parts, by dealers, or make of machine. PLACE ORDER for all repair parts AT ONCE. This does not mean just talking it over with the dealer, butmeans ACTUAL LY PLACING SIGNED ORDER. This is the most important IMMEDIATE STEP in the. entire program for this reason: Manu facturers will not be given priority for metal except upon dealer orders backed up by signed, Bona-Fide orders from consumer. The usual practice of waiting until just before a machine is needed in the field, and 8- d. then going to town for a repair part, will not work this spring. THERE WON'T BE ANY REPAIR PARTS THERE, unless the order is placed AT ONCE. Order enough io take care of normal repairs for 1942. DO NOT HOARD. ' Remember 10 lbs. of repair metal may put 1,000 lbs of machine in working condition. Order sufficient but no more replace- , ment parts, such as mower guards and knife sections, and accessories such as . . binder twine. .'.. 3. Rehabilitate abandoned or discarded machines, a. Many machines, discarded because of mi nor breaks, can be reconditioned and used, b. Change in farming method or ciop may have made a machine useless on one farm, but serviceable on another. SELL IT or TRADE IT to someone who can use it. 4. Determine availability of machines for "cus torn" work. Farmers are urged to make arrangements with machine owner EARLY. 5. Cooperate with every possible agency, a. Farm Equipment Dealers The dealers are 100 for this program. With little new machinery, to sell, they will devote much time to this BEPAIR PROGRAM. b. Vocational Agricultural High School Shops These shops, in many instances, are equipped with tools, suitable for doing re pair work. The teachers are behind this program. Work with them in every detail, c. Public garages, machine shops and black smith shops. These shops are equipped for all types of repair work. By N. C. Agricultural Extension Service.. ..
