A six months' progress report sub mitted to the New York-State War Council by the New York State College of Agriculture, which' is conducting the program, :'reyeals that through the.''utilization? of funds made avaljable-by the War Council much outmoded ¿Mchjnery has been put into acilon, cutting down demands for steel needed in. war production, and 'thousands ,.of ■ farmers have learned fiow tp repair equipment heretofore regarded as. useless:' \ R e alizing that a. food emergency Blood Unit Here Monday-Tuesday Blood Donor Committee chair man, F.
