Many farmers are bringing their
plow tools and other farming equip-
ment to the Deport defense shop for
repairs. The farm labor problem is
going to be more serious later in the
crop year, and farmers are advised
to make repairs on their equipment
now, so that every plow tool will
be ready to go into the fields without
delay during the rush season.
Farmers in this area were much
pleased with several inches of rain
