Winter Good Time to
Repair Machinery
Repair delays particularly during
seeding and harvest time often result
in great loss of yield and quality. It
is a wise policy immediately after the
fall work has been completed to
make a list of the known parts to be
replaced and repaired. Under the con-
ditions that exist and are likely to
exist for the war's duration, it is
wise to order parts well in advance
of their actual need, otherwise long
delays are likely to occur.
As fat' as possible, repairing should
be clone during fall and winter when
there is not so much work to be done
outdoors as during the growing sea-
son. Repair's that cannot be done on
the fame should be taken to the
blacksmith or other repairman in the
fall and winter so that his work may
be more evenly distributed through-
out the year.
In overhauling machinery, all bear-
ings, axles, and similar parts subject
to wear should be taken apart and
examined carefully. Any that are not
likely 'to work well for another tilt
aonnos nitouid he replaced. Other
parte should bo thoroughly cleaned
and examined, tutting particular care
to 1100 that the lubricating parts are
working wen. Parts that work its tate
ground, such as cultivator shovels,
and dines- should also be checked and
those that. are cracked or badly worn
should bo 10plticod. Mere may re-
quire sharpening to insure best re -
suite for the following season.
A reasonable number of well
chosen implements all kept in first
Claes working condition will do better
work than many machines in iudiffer-
ent working order.

FARMERS AND FARM WORKERS
If Your Farm Work has Slackened
for the Linter, You Are Needed
Elsewhere in Essential Employment
Highly essential work—very important
in Canada's war effort and for the
welfare of the Nation—is threatened
with shortages of workers. One of the
few sources of men available for other
high priority jobs is those men on the
farm who will not be needed at home
during the Fall and Winter. Heavy
needs must be met in many lines—
producing fuel wood and other neces-
sary forest products; in base metal
mines, in food processing, in railway
track maintenance. If you live on a
farm and are not needed at home
during the Fall and Winter, you are
urged to answer this national appeal.
Farmers engaged in essential work
during the off season will be allowed
to return home when needed. Also,
those on postponement under Mobili-
zation Regulations will continue on
jJOst. j)Onement while in approved essen-
tial work during the slack on the farm.
