I3TS TO FARMERS (TAKE JUMP. IN 1837 yrious Things Affect Expense . of trap Raising. b Washington, D. C The cost to jtarmera in raising their 1937 crops probably will be "somewhat high gr" than last year, according to the (Department of Agriculture. ' Farm labor will cost slightly Wiore. Seed prices already have advanced sharply, and feed prices ivtUl .jbe materially higher than in 11036, the department said. . ' Summarizing the outlook for farm 'labor, equipment and fertilizer, the -department said: "Wage rates will rise with the aVknttniiAjl nrwAKl tfAnt in ffitt H a viand for workers in nonagricultural Activities, and with the greater de mand for hired farm workers that is likely to result from more nearly iDonnal crop and livestock produc tion. "Prices paid by farmers for seed h&vt already advanced sharply as - result of drouth-restricted sup plies and will continue at relatively high levels during the 1937 spring planting season. "During the first half of the year, r until the harvest of the 1937 crop replenishes the present drouth re duced supplies, the feed prices will Ik materially higher than in 1936. "'Prices of other items used in production are expected to differ but little from the 1936 levels, al though the prospective general up f tarn -in the cost of materials and labor entering into the expense of manufacturing farm machinery, fertilizer and building supplies may cesult in slight advances." . -The department said farm wage Yates will continue the "slow rise of the last three years" due to an in crease in both the nonagricultural nd agricultural demand for labor. I"arm wage rates are now the high est since 1931. The department forecast that ""production and sales of farm ma chinery during 1937 probably will exceed those of 1936 which were the highest since 1930 and equal Ahe 1925-29 average, especially if crop conditions are more nearly aormal." Fertilizer sales and prices, it was said, probably will average "some what higher" than in 1936, but not greatly different from the 1910-1914 average. Use of fertilizer has in creased steadily since 1929, it was -said. 'Shoeing of Oxen Problem for Pageant Officials Marietta, O. "Calling all ox team drivers" is the cry of the 'United States Northwest Territory "Celebration commission as it faces the question of how to shoe the oxen -which will start December 3 to draw -a. covered-wagon caravan over the original trail from Ipswich, Mass., to Marietta, in a re-enactment of the pioneer journey to the north west territory. Commission officials explained -their dilemma by pointing out that 'most of the old pioneer trail is Tpaved road today, and oxen must e shod to be driven on these roads. While there are thousands of ox teams available, most of them are -a farms where shoeing is not a problem, and old-timers familiar With shoeing of oxen are becoming scarce. It is known, of course, that 'he ox shoe is in two pieces and differs good deal from the horseshoe. However, some say that the ox's Hioof is too thin to stand re-shoeing, while others assert that although the white part of the hoof is thin nd brittle, the black part is tough nd will stand frequent re-shoeing.

Lower Distribution Costi These AUCombine to Give You Extra Values at No Extra Cost FROM the dayof its introduction, the Firestone Standard Tire has more than lived up to its name by setting a new high standard of tire values. Hundreds of thousands of car owners have already bought it because they saw in it more value for their money. ' "How does Firestone do it? How ' can they build so many extra value features into Firestone Standard Tires and yet sell them at such low prices?" -The answer is simple -Firestone controls better-quality rubber end cotton supplies at their source, keeps manufacturing costs low by efficient, factory methods and sells in such huge volume that distribution costs are held to a minimum.- That is why Firestone has been able to give you such extra value features as Gum- . Dipping, two extra layers of Gum Dipped cords under the tread and eight extra pounds of rubber to every 100 pounds of cord, at no extra cost to you.- ; . ; ' : , :r:'y'. Make no mistake about this! The Firestone Standard Tire gives you the blowout protection of . Firestone's patented Gum-Dipping process. Its scientifically : designed, tread gives greater non-skid protection and longer wear. And those two extra layers of Gum-Dipped cords under the tread guard against punctures. ', I Before you buy ANY tire at ANY price, see today's top tire value' the Firestone Standard Tire.
