FIRE-PROOF BARN
MAKES GOOD
Tobacco Burns Out But Leaves
Tobacco In Tact Wooden
Structure Would Have Been
Complete Loss.
The efficacy of tile tobacco
barns is related to Commission
er of Agriculture William A.
Graham by Bud Hooks, Kenlv,
R. F. D., who asked that the
farmers of the State be in
formed of his experience.
"Knowing that you are in
terested in the welfare of the
farmers of North Carolina,"
Mr. Hooks wrote, "I want to
give you an experience I had a
few days ago which I think if
you can have printed in the
farm journals and on the farm
pages of the daily papers it
will be doing the farmers a
great service, as we farmers
have an immense loss by fire
every year.
"Last year I built a concrete
tile tobacco barn and likt it .'-o
well that I built another this
year. A few days ago I was cur
ing 750 sticks of tobacco in one
of these barns and was killing
it out running at about 165 de
grees of heat. The tobacco
caught afire in some way. I at
once closed all the air holes and
threw some water on the flues
as quickly as I could. The to
bacco was burned but the barn,
flues, tier poles and top were
not damaged at all, except a
few of the rafters were burned
off at the top end. This barn
was repaired in a few hours,
ready to cure tobacco again. If
this had been a wooden struc
ture I would have losj the best
tobacco I had in the field, for
it was right ready for curing
and placing into this barn.
