Farm Machinery'
According to the officials of, the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board for
Western Ontario, the biggest prob-
lem at the moment in connection with
machinery is to be found in the Short
supply' of power emirs. The dealer
eept in the' cab while the vehiele is
beingoperated to transport goods.
Under former regulations farmers
desiring to transport help obtained a
special permit but the temporary
revision gives all a general exemp-
tion in order to save time. In making
the announeement.of the exemption
ll1 W. McCutcheon pointed out it is
not an exemption from provincial or
municipal regulations affecting the
transportation of persons by trucks
or the 35 mile travel limit on trucks
not carrying farm goods. .
has had difficulty in filling his or-
ders because of the limited stock he
has on hand. For this reason, there-
fore, the Prices Board urges any'
farmer who has need of a power
pump to make application immediate -1
ly through his local dealer. Permits
are being issued far the purchase of
these pumps only in cases where es-
sentiality is well established.
Also in connection with farm ma-
chinery, the Prices Board has an-
nouneed that any price reduction on
imported repair parts will not be-
come effective until after September'
31, whereas any reduction on the
price of complete farm equipment
imported after June 26 must be pas-
sed' on to the consumer as to that
date. The first concession wasmade
with the dealer in mind, in view of
the fact that he has on hand a large
quantity of repair parts on which he
has already paid the duty and ev=
change war tax. This September cut-
off will make it unneeessary for the
dealer to absorb the difference aris-
ing from a reduction of the priees are
