To Repair Early ' All Marion county truck owners are being urged by the Marion county farm transportation, com mittee to at once take measures to overhaul their trucks and : place orders for new repair parts, they need; before the heavy i harvest season arrives, according to Rob ert E. Rieder, secretary of the committee. Many truck owners already have found that they have had to experience considerable delay in obtaining necessary repair parts and it is not likely that the situa tion will become any better with respect to parts for : repair of trucks now in operation on farms, or for repair shops. to obtain addi tional mechanics. 1 If farm trucks are to be kept in operation dur ing the rush harvest season, when a slight delay would ' be very critical, truck owners should at once overhaul their trucks and replace parts which are worn which might likely cause them trouble during the harvest season.
