Chairman Urges Extra Care Of Farm Tires
Emmet County farmers are urged to conserve rubber tires amid a sharp cut in civilian supplies. Nels G. Christiansen, chairman of Emmet County USDA War Board, notes prewar imports of rubber from the Pacific and calls rubber reclaimable as a defense. With demand high, reclaimed rubber use will double while civilian supply remains scarce. Farmers should inspect tires for foreign matter, keep them grease free, and regulate air pressure to extend life.
