Will E. G. Moss, assistant director in j poui charge of the Department's To- ( hacco Test. Farm at Oxford, re- nios | gards oil burners and coal stokers f01 as the two "most promising" fuels c.u found at present in the search for ulf)1 more economical methods of heat- , njn ing tobacco barns. jTax "There have been some modifi- P([e cations in the set-up of the flues if and furnaces for the use of wood," ]ust he added. "Perhaps more eeono- j(lni mies have been affected by the; on]y rearrangement of the furnaces and increased radiation by incieasing the amount of pipe in tile barn." je. f Other economies have been ef- Pval fected by building better barns, burns that are more tightly constnictcd and hotter insulated. "In the process of building bet- f(rter barns, the problem of ventilation became one of considerable j importance," Moss said. "Twen- J ty-five to to years ago practical-i ly all tobacco curing barns were covered with oak slabs, which when dried out left the barn tops j open so it was easy to circulate j air through tobacco, but in later days shingles then iron were j used, making the top tight and as j this occurred the problem of von- j tilation became more acute. "Approximately 85 per cent of the green weight of tobacco is I water and in the curing process j tHid water must he driven off anil at the same time the bright yel-; I low color, which is characteristic j II of the fuel-cured type of tobacco.! |j must be obtained; therefore, in I III studying this problem at the To- ! Ill bacco Test Farm at Oxford, dif- j III fei ent types of barns have been [ III constructed?a cinder block barn, | III a clay tile barn, a barn covered || on sides and top with gal- III vanized iron and one storm-sheet- ill ed and weatherboarded. All of III these barns are covered with ill galvanized iron and different me- III thods of heating have been in- II] stalled and used." In two of the test farm of to- ||| bacco barns, wood was used as J|| a fuel with the piping increased j]| in the barn in order to utilize as j ||| large a percentage of the heat ! || units as possible. In another i i{ barn a coal stoker has been used || and on a fourth barn oil burners | have been installed. Fans have | been used both at the bottom and top of the barn to increase j the circulation ot the air during the ciitical period of the curing. Plans have now been made to build still another barn and to install heat unties electrically constall and air conditioned for the purpose of better studying, under control conditions, the problem of ventilation. "These experiments are interesting but have not yet been completed," Moss said." They are merely being set forth as one of the activities of I the test farm. However, enough j has been learned to definitely j state that proper ventilation is the big problem." The tobacco specialist said that "the uses of other fuels for | heat are being developed and improved upon." "The two most promising i (fuels) at present are the oil burners and coal stokers," he' added. "By the use of coal stokers where electricity is available, thermostatic control can be used, j which materially reduces the amount of labor necessary in the' curing. The temperature may be regulated by thermostat and ; changed when necessary and requires very little attention from the operator otehr than to observe the changes taking place in the tobacco and to determine when it is necessary to raise the j heat and to give more ventila-1 tion. The oil burners have also reduced the amount of atten- I tion needed in the curin process. NO VICTORY "Well, Sam, I see you're back for fighting with your wife. Liquor again?"
