Y. Slate Institute of Agriculture FEW farmers get the full life and performance that la built Into their tools by the manufacturer. For farm machinery "wears out," not In proportion to uso, tut In pro portion of the time. In otuer words It runts uut befuru it wears out. Today, when metal Is so urgently needed for war material, it Is the patriotic duty of every farmer to protect his machinery by using the right grades of the highest quality oils and lubricants. In doing so, many a farmer will find that not only has be reduced his repair bills and avoided many breakdowns, but be has doubled the "usiaU" lite of bis equipment.
