R. LONG, GODERICH District Agent REPAIRING MOWERS (Experimental Farms News) By keeping a hay .mower in good • operating condition, it will function satisfactorily for many' years. To maintain a hay mower the machine should be overhauled after each 100 acres of operation or once each year if a larger acreage of hay is cut, says W. Kadbfleisch, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. When a mower is overhauled it is usually necessary to replace worn parts, At - that time many farmers are reluctant to buy the parts re- . (m.ired, but in time the maintaining of these machines proves to be econ- omical. With proper care, overhaul- ing, repairs, correct adjustments and lubrication, a hay mower will cut 3000 acres, as much acreage as some farmers in Eastern Canada cut in a life time. 'Mowers which have been in use at, the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, during the last 25 years, have cut from 1800 to 3000 acres of hay before being traded for new mach- ines. The machines were used from 12 to 20 years and operated on an average from 100 to 300 acres per year. Riven though the machines re- quired many repair parts because of .the large acreage, the' machine cost per acre was very low, By maintaining machinery it will give better service, the cost per acre of operation Will be reduced, and steel will be saved for the produc- tion of tanks.

Of this amount $500 has al- ready bei;u donated to the Red Cross drive, and $100 to the China Relief Fund Tag clay, The committee plans as further money comes in to send a box to, every soldier overseas from the territory covered by these collec- tions (the complete Seaforth Red Cross District), also to send a size- able donation to the British Bomb Victims Fund. Tucket'smith farmers, organized by Committee members Wilson McCart- ney, Robt. Archibald and Harold Jackson, spent a busy day last Wed- nesday, and made a real clean-up of salvage in their district. It seemed like a steady stream of trucks laden with all sorts of salvage that drove up and unloaded at Salvage Head- quarters. A big effort was .made to surpass the splendid record set up by Hullet in their collection of a week previous; both township organ- izations did a grand job. Messrs. Clarence Grainger and Gor- don McGavin brought in a second truckload of salvage from Walton. Mr. Grainger has his pupils Braking regular collections in Walton, ' and has arranged for farmers to leave their salvage at the school -house. The paper was brought in all nicely baled, and great credit is due Mr. Grainger and his pupils for their worthy salvage effort. The third West Side Salvage col- lection in Seaforth on Tuesday of this week brought in a large eollec' tion of salvage. The people of Sea - forth and district aro truly salvage conscious, and their continued sup- port will help relieve shortages in raw materials as well as provide welcome help to worthy war charities, REED SHIELD The regular Tuesday afternoon meeting of the Salvation Army Red Shield was held in the Army hall, when the ladies packed the box for overseas for the month of May.
