Farm machinery outlook hints at short supply for 1945
Prospects for new farm equipment remain slightly better next year but will still fall short of demand. Emphasize repair work to keep machines rolling for 1945 food production and ratproofing strategies for buildings. State support for public schools aims to ease property tax load and equalize educational costs across districts. Prepare for next year by saving seed and starting transplants now. Straw and haystack bottoms shelter rats, and brucellosis vaccination reached over 500,000 calves in the U.S. last year.
