SECTION "C" ‘ dial R-326 ALL DEPTS. THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 1946, SECTION C—PAGE 1 Timely Tips to Farmers Efficient Farm Lay-Out Saves Time and Money "Save money Dy savings steps is the program urged on farmers by three nationally known agri cultural authorities who believe that properly designed and laid one farm building will counteract labor shortages, increase efficiency of operation and contribute to more profitable farm management The three men, who represent the Asphalt Roofing Industry Bu reau, are Miles V. Engelbach, C. X. Mast and J. F. Schaffhausen, all members of the American Soci ety of Agriculture Engineers. Asserting that time is the farmer’s fortune,” they said a re cent time and motion study re vealed that some farmers walk as much as 135 miles a month do ing their daiy chores, yet with well planned buildings, only 49 miles of walking is needed. Farmers can increase produc tion and meet postwar competition they assert, by repairing and re designing buildings for maximum • efficiency. Although few entirely new building materials are on the market, they emphasize the im provements recently made in fam iliar and tested materials. An outstanding example of an improved product for long, satis factory service, they agree is asphait shingles. For example, in the past some farmers may have had difficulty with shingles blow ing off roofs :n areas of high winds. Now, this problem has been overcome by newly designed asphalt shingles with better meth ods of fastening to the roof deck and by improved atachment methods for standard shingles, such as the use of six nails in stead of four when applying three-tab strip shingls. The three engineers stress the importance of applying roofing material properly, pointing out ‘that premature roof failure usual ly is caused by a poor roof deck, use of green or unsuitable lum ber, improper nailing, weak con struction, or failure to follow the manufacturer’s instruction sheet packed with every 'shipment of asphait shingles. “If a farmer can get the ma terials and labor, he should start right now rebuilding where needed to improve farm efficien cy,” Mr. Schaffhausen says. “But if an adequate supply of materials and labor is not available in his iocality, he should make every ef fort under the current CPA build ing limitations to repair existing buildings and make them do tem porarily. After all, leaky roofs and drafty buildings are costly because they reduce production and profit.” A combination of faulty equip ment and careless operation caus es the majority of poultry farm fires, according to a recent sur vey. Six specific causes of fires in laying houses and hatcheries are: 1. inadequate wiring. Proper installation and Irequent inspec tion and repair will prevent fires from this cause. 2. Stored gasoline, oil-soaked floors and back-firing of gasoline motors. 3. Flammaable roofs. Use of a fire-retardant roofing material, such as asphalt shingles, is recom mended. 4. Unshielded heating stoves. 5. Indiscriminate smoking in buildings. 6. Careless use of blow-torches in thawing frozen pipes. BLOWER 'AIDS HAY CURING Curing chopped hay by blowing it into a barn mow is a practical solution to the problem of getting high-quality hay. It requires less labor than other methods and is uo more expensive.
