Tire Quota Tightens As Eligible Access Diminished
War Production Board orders sharp curtailment of passenger tire production in Q2 1945 due to shortages of carbon black and cotton cord. Military and truck tires are protected, so passenger and implement tires face drastic cuts. A new preference list prioritizes applicants by essential need, excluding those who did not recap or ran their tires flat. Some eligible graders must use grade 3 tires without certificates.

Ridge-row-buster employs disk hillers on tractor for corn ridges
A ridge-row-buster mounted on a standard cultivator enables three disk jobs and a harrow to be done simultaneously. Two disk hillers set to throw to opposite sides split each corn row ridge so the tandem disk behind the tractor penetrates evenly without riding the ridge, with hillers lifted during turns.
