FARMS.....
AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information
Specialist
Store The Machine
I- saw where a Western state
bought a number of farm machines
in 'pairs. One of each sort was used
vin the fields, and then stored under
shelter when not in use. The other
was not used at all, but just left out
in the weather.
At the end of a number of years,
the one that had been used each sea
son w’as still in good shape and serv
iceable. The machines bought at the
same time, not used at all, and just
left out in the weather had been all
but ruined.
We are sure mechanizing our
farms fast. That machinery costs a
Jot of money. But it also does a lot
of work. And it will pay off, if we
take care of it.
Our extension engineer, G. H.
Stewart, reminds us that now is the
ears for 15 cents, 6 small grapefruit
for 10 cents, lemons 7 for 10 cents,
oranges 2 dozen for 25 cents, very
fine lettuce 3 heads for a dirhe, 3
bunches of beets for 12 cents, aftd so
on.
Some things were not so cheap.
But the above things were. I knew
that the folks who grew those things
•were really sweating blood. For, af
ter you add harvesting and packing
costs, freight, hauling, and handling
costs, the farmers must have gotten
practically nothing for that produce.
So, folks, you hear tall tales from
other regions. And you hear of an
occasional fortune being »■» farmed
from the ground there. But don’t see
just the roses. They have their prob
lems, too, just as great or greater
than ours here, where most of our
crops are more stable than their per
son of off season on the farm. That^ 3 ^ ^ and fl \ uit l? T wi ? our

be cleaned, rustproofed where neces
sary, and paint applied to exposed
wood and metal parts. Canvases,
drapes, and belts should be removed,
cleaned, and put in a dry safe shelter
where they cannot be damaged by
Green pastures?
I’ve been around a lot. All in all,
you won’t find ’em greener any-
where than here. And at few places
are they as green for good, whole-
weather or rodents. Bearings “and ! SOme ’ year ' around living as here on !

Attention and storage will add life
to your machinery.
