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.
