Take Care of 
Farm Equipment 

Present dairy and farm equipment made 
from metal may have to last for the dura- 
tion. In any event, the equipment should 
be given special care in order to reduce re- 
placement needs. To conserve equipment 
keep it clean and dry; repair leaks, cracks 
or breaks immediately; keep electric motors 
dry; don’t use steel wool for cleaning; avoid 
denting equipment; lubricate moving parts; 
don’t throw things into unused equipment, 
and keep equipment properly painted or 
varnished. Keep all farm implements under 
cover when not in use. 



When the sun goes 


down and the harvest 


is done, it’s good to 



know that, backing up 



your sweat and toil, 


your good seed has 


turned into a profitable 


crop...a crop that has 


XN 

really given you ‘‘a 


raise in pay.’’ Sow seeds 


you can depend on. 

A GOOD LAWN 
NOTHING ‘“‘SPRUCES UP’’ A GOOD FARM LIKE IT 
Look around the good farms you know. Aren't most of 
them distinguished by a good lawn that says to the rest of 
the community, This is the place where I’m proud to live.” 
And if you compare the price of Hoffman's specially pre- 
pared lawn seed with that of any other source you'll see 
an economical way to prepare and maintain a rich carpet 
of grass around your home. And remember this isn’t run- 
of-the-mill seed. It’s a careful blend of fine-leaved, hardy 
grasses which grows into a beautiful lawn which stands up 
under rough trampling and severe winters. If you have any 
shady spots that stubbornly keep bald, use “Shady Lawn 
Mixture” for a mixture that grows. You'll be pleased with 
your results. Many large farms of the ‘‘country estate” type 
buy this Hoffman Lawn Seed regularly to maintain their 
“showplaces.”’ 
“SOILTEX’’ WILL TELL IF YOUR SOIL 
NEEDS LIME 
Don't “guess” how much lime your soil needs. Too little 
or too much both spell wasted money and effort. A “Soiltex” 
kit tells you in a few minutes at the cost of about 1 cent 
per test. In half an hour you can thoroughly test soil in all 
portions of a 10-acre field. In a single operation you can 
calculate how much lime to use, regardless of the form of 
lime you prefer. A single test may save you hundreds of 
dollars—in better crops, in lower fertilizer bulk. Complete 
pocket size “Soiltex” kit, sufficient 75 to 100 tests, only $1.00 
postpaid. Includes directions and lime table. 
HOFFMAN SEED WHEAT AND WINTER BARLEY 
Ready next August. Now growing under Hoffman super- 
vision is a large acreage of splendid true-toname Seed 
Wheat. It will pay you to put your entire wheat acreage in 
new seed of this quality. If you've never tried it before, sow 
Winter Barley this year. It makes big crops, excellent feed. 
A fine crop of Hoffman Lancaster-County-grown Seed Barley 
will be ready early for sowing in the fall. A great crop for 
such emergency times as now!
