The nonwhite farm population,
which is estimated as 12 percent
cf the 1967 total, continues to de
cline at a much faster rate than
the white. For the 7-year period,
1960-67, the white and nonwhite
portions of the farm population
had an annual average decline
of about 4.5 and 10.0 percent, re

population was under 14 years

TRACTOR TIRES
ARE EXPENSIVE
Repair and replacement of
tires accounts for a large ampunt
of repair costs of farm tractors.
A. few simple precautions will re
duce these costs and add to the
life of your-tires.
Agricultural engineers at the
University of Vermont say prop
er inflation is the most impor
iant part pf,tire care. Under-in
flation can .cause the sidewalls
to .buckle and eventually break.
.Using -tractor .wheel .weights
and filling the tires with calcium
chlorjde treated water will f give
additional traction thus prevent
ing slippage, a cause of _ exces
sive wear.
Sunshine and grease are harm
ful to natural rubber, so avoid
parking the tractor on an oily
floor or in the sunshine
And finally, careful driving
will decrease tire wear and in
jury.
