Housing Tips By Willie Featherstone, Jr. Assistant Agriculture Agent Protecting Mobile Homes From High Winds Mobile homes should be an chored securely to withstand high winds. To insure your safety during high winds do the following: 1. Position your mobile home .,with the narrow side facing'prevail ing winds. Check with local weather service on the direction of prevailing winds. Proper position ing alone won't assure safety, so your unit should also be tied down securely. Tie-downs should be installed by all mobile home owners. Tie-down systems are easy to install on existing units. When buying a new mobile home, be sure it has built-in-over-the-top tiedown straps which can be anchored to the ground. Two types of ties are needed: (a) Over-the-top tic - which keeps the unit trom overturning. Discount Signup Friday 2-5 P. M. Senior citizens sixty years of age or older who have not signed up for the discount program may do Friday July 23 from 2-5 P.M. at the new county office building, senior citizen's coordinator Josephine Hall announced.

Hoke Drug Co. Tel. 875-3720 * (b) Frame tie, which prevents the unit from being blown off it's support. For maximum protection use four sets of both over-the-top ties and frame ties to secure 10-12 and 14 feet wide mobile homes. Double units 24 feet wide need frame ties only. Ties are made of wire rope or rust resistant steel straps attached to anchors embedded in the ground. Several types of ground anchors can be used: Screw augers and expanding anchors. The anchors are usually installed to a depth of four to five feet, depend ing on the soil's holding strength. Anchors should have a holding power of at least 48 lbs. Use only high quality materials, and install anchors exactly as specified by manufacturer, being sure to place ihe anchors deep enough. (2) Install piers and footings under the supporting steel frame of your mobile home. Piers and footings should be heavy enough to carry the weight of the home. Construct piers of standard 8" x 8" x 16". concrete blocks placed on footing, with the long dimension of the blocks crossways (perpendicu lar to the main frame members and centered under them). Footings should have minimum dimensions of 16" x 16" x 8". (3) Establish a windbreak, if possible. Natural barriers such as trees provide excellent windbreaks. Two or more rows of trees are more effective than a single row. Four rows are best. Trees which are at least 30 feet high are most effective. (4) Seek shelter. Even if your mobile home is well anchored and you have established a wind break, seek shelter elsewhere when warned of an approaching tornado or hurricane. Know the location of nearbv shelters. For further information please contact your County Agricultural Extension Service, phone no. 875-3461. Hoke ASCS B> Thomas R. Burgeu DO S AND DON'TS FOR LEAF MARKET ? A reminder comes from the Hoke County ASCS Office as to the importance of using tobacco marketing cards properly. The grower is also warned about the proper identification of his tobacco. The information on marketing tobacco, as given by the ASCS. is printed below . 1976 marketing season for flue cured tobacco is underway. As farmers market their 1976 crop, there are certain precautions they need to observe to assure that their tobacco is properly identified. When farmers use their market ing cards correctly, they can save time, trouble, and possible pay ment of penalties. Please use the following simple guides to assure proper handling of tobacco: 1. Upon receiving the card examine it carefully to see that it is correct. Check to see that the name, address, farm serial num ber. and quota are correct. 2. Take the card to the warehouse when tobacco is to be weighed in. The card is to be left with the warehouseman until the check is issued to the farmer. Do not leave the card at the warehouse or with a trucker between sales. 3. After each sale check the card carefully to see that the entries for that sale agree with the sale bill. Also check to see that the balance is correct. Report any error immediately to the marketing recorder at the warehouse or to the county ASCS office. The farmer is subject to penalty on any tobacco sold over 110 percent of his quota. It is his responsibility to see that any error is corrected so that his balance is correct. Do not allow tobacco from another farm to be sold on your card. This will result in a penalty to you.
