aged trial balance will also Dei
received as part of The system.'

- Match machinery and
tractor size carefully to obtain
full efficiency.
When pulling lighter loads,
shift up to a higher gear and

same ground speed and saving up

per acres.

not pour out of the stack. Black
smoke means inefficiency and
wasted fuel.

shaded area. This reduces loss
through volatilization, a common
fuel loss that most farmers do not
consider.
The farm equipment industry
spokesmen vowed to work on
their own and with USDA in
every possible way to aid far
