ject of considerable concern to
many home owners and prospec
tive builders. Tbe problem is not
new. It has been known for many
years that condensation occurs
under certain conditions in hous
es and barns, particularly in the
Northern States during severe
cold weather. Only recently, how
ever. ha.s it become a general
problem, especially in the better,
built. In addition, as a health
and comfort measure the normal
humidity is usually raised by
evaporating much water. Im
provements that add to the com
fort and health are worth while
and should not be discouraged,
but they introduce the moisture
problem just described.

Right Nailing Makes
Strong Wood Joints
Nails afford one of the com
monest and simplest ways of fas
tening wood together. The
strength of a nailed joint, unlike
a bolted or riveted one, depends
on the frictional contact of the
nail with the wood fibers. Good
nailing practice consists largely
in selecting the proper kind, size,
and number of nails to be used,
and then employing th-e proper
way in assembly to tiisure neces
sary frictional contact between
the nail and the w-ood. say engi
neers at the U. S. Forest I'roducts
Laboratory. Madison. Wisconsin.
To secure the greatest strength
in nailing wood, to avoid acci-
dent.s resulting from improper
nailing, and to eliminate weak
and faulty coustructlon re'jnire
care in observing a few import
ant details. Use nails of proper
length and wherever possible the
nails should be long enough so
that in soft woods ab.):it two-
thirds of the length goes into the
piece receiving the point. This
means that the length of the
nail should be at least tliree times
the thickness of the outer niece.

In urging the young people to
prepare themselves for their life’s

leader in charge of the confer
ence. also asked them to do what
they can to build up their home
communities and to make this
world a better place.
Col. John W. Harrelson, dean
of administration at the college,
counseled the young people to
take stock of their physical and
mental abilities before choosing
their vocation, then do everything
possible to prepare themselves for
that work.
“Go to college it you can, he
said, “but if you can’t don’t be

overcome this handicap if you
will use your own initiative."

Farmers having an adequate
