(Turn to Page 2) Farmers Can Get Needed Machinery The nation’s farmers, looked to for more food than ever before, now may obtain the more ordinary e- quipment simply by saying they need it. The War Production Board coup- led this new approach to the farm machinery problem last night with an order stepping up deliveries from producer to dealer. Complaints have been heard in Congress and in administrative de partments that farmers had to fijl out too many forms and wait too long to get what they needed in their work. Effective next Monday, a farmer may buy up to $25 worth of 178 specifically-named items by certify- ing to his dealer that he is a farm- er and requires the material now. If he wants to buy more than that, it can be arranged by having his county Farm Rationing committee sign the certificate—which is not a form and ean be written on an or- dinary piece of paper. tl CQ meee 14 MILLION TOMATO PLANTS SENT TO COUNTY The final shipment of approxi- mately 14 million tomato plants from Georgia was distributed to county growers Monday.
