Early Repair Of Machinery Needed
The vast production of foods and fibers called for this year will require the efficient use of all available machinery in planting, cultivating, and harvesting the needed crops, says David S. Weaver, in charge of Agricultural Engineering at State College.
Since the quantity of new machinery will not be sufficient to meet the demand and take care of the replacement of worn equipment, Weaver suggests that all usable machinery be properly repaired as early as possible and put in the best condition for the jobs ahead.
"Present machinery needs inspection, checking, ordering of parts early, repairing, servicing, and general maintenance," Weaver says. This includes both old and new machinery
Weaver also urges a safety program that will include protection of the machinery from damage, protection of the crops themselves in the operation of the machinery, and protection of the operator of the machine from injury.
With present labor shortages on almost every farm, the sharing of labor and machinery will again be an essential part of the plan for getting farm jobs completed in 1945.
Where farm families have worked together in groups, utilizing all available machinery to the fullest extent, much time and labor has been saved and greater production has been obtained.
