Building Must Give Eight Percent Return As a means of helping farm ers decide whether construction of long-needed farm buildings would be profitable, agricultural engineers have figured that a new’ building should pay back eight percent of its cost every year. Chickens occupyiyng a new $800 laying house, for example must pay $64 ■■rent” yearly after expenses for feed, equipment, la bor and similar items are deduct ed. If the building earns this $64. it is paying for itself. Assuming that the house accommodates 200 hens, the annual cost is 32 uents a hen. • A $6,000 barn should pay back $480 a year, cither by boosting farm production or by saving that much expense. A properly constructed barn can pay its own keep by reducing n- cossary la bor. providing facilities for in creased materials, such as wealh • er-and-fire-ivsistant asphalt root ing. decrease maintenance cost and reduce loss by giving ade quate protection to animals, farm products and equipment. “V-rr; 23 Seniors Will Graduate From Weidon High School Twenty-three seniors will be graduated from the Weldon Hign School FFriday night.
