G. H. Farley, county agent for the State College Extension Ser vice, says Williams had a hard time last season finding room to cure his tobacco. The lack of cur ing facilities and space one year after another was just too much Williams decidcd to do something about it. t Farley says that when Williams' cropping ni*h was over he went into his farm woodlands and started to "harvest" his new to bacco barn. By securing plans for the recommended burley tobacco barn well ahead of actual tree cutting, he was able to cut his logs in the needed size* and length*. This saved considerable time and waste, according to Farley. The principal expense item in volved in the entire process was the metal root. The hauling bill to and from the saw m* was al so an expense. But Williams and his son did all the labor. Total cash outlay lor the finished barn: $280.90. Williams got out so cheaply, says Farley, that he is now cutting timber to build a fine new grading and sorting room. "If I do something, I like to do it right," says Williams. Farley says- Williams' projects usually turn out right, too. - EVIDENTLY Boss: "Jones, you disappoint me.
