General Cleaning Main Thing Farm Engine Needs
Jesup Iowa January 13 good general cleaning is about all the average farm gasoline engine needs in the way of attention. Lewis Falck Smith-Hughes instructor at Jesup High school says engines suffer from dirt and grease more than from other faults. Boys in the vocational agriculture shop repair small engines taking them apart grinding valves adjusting bearings and cleaning. After cleaning engines are painted for weather protection and reused for seasons. The work is popular with boys and next will be harness repair cleaning and oiling. Girls under Miss Jane Nelson plan vacation home economics projects and a party for mothers this week. The semester will include entertainment planning for farm meetings and other practical tasks at school rather than sewing or baking.
