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.

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.
