Booklets Available on Insulation

Against winter's icy blasts there is one satisfactory protection-that of a well insulated house. Its many advantages are obvious. But, in sharp contrast with the uninsulated house the fuel bills mount, and the cold air seems to enter through walls and ceilings in spite of every reasonable effort to heat the buildrng properly.

On the farm there is the additional problem of keeping the cattle comfortable, or keeping hog houses and laying houses reasonably warm and of maintaining milk houses and brooder houses at an equitable temperature. It is during this winter period, according to the Forest Products Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, that the usual flow of inquiries concerning house and/ot farm insulation quickens abruptly. Particulady does the home owner or farmer desire information on the best types of insulation to use, their relative efficiencies as insulators, their methods of application.

To service the homeowner and the farmer of the United States who are interested in insulation and to present in a practical, concise manner, pertinent information on the subject, the Department of Commerce has for distribution two booklets, "Housing Insulation, Its Economies and Applicatlon" and "Insulation on the Farm". Both of these have been extremely popular.

House Insulation covers in considerable detail the advantages gained through insulation such as the lowered fuel costs, the greater comfort, etc., the types of insulation used such as rigid, flexible, and filI types; the thickness of insulation to use; the methods of application; the cost of insulating, etc. A particularly interesting and enlightening table presents the insulating values of the difierent types of wall construction. Information on weatherproofing and on the fuel savings to be effected through insulation is found in appendix form in the back of the booklet.

Insulation on the Farm presents the reason for insulating the farm structure and gives detailed consideration regarding the insulation of such farm buildings as dairy barns, poultry laying houses, poultry brooder houses, hog houses, bee hives, milk houses, etc.

Both "House Insulation, Its Economies and Application" and "Insulation on the Farm" are available through the Forest Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce or through any of the District or local offices of that Bureau, while the present supply lasts, either of the above publications will be distributed without cost to the interested homeowner.

Redwood Statistical Position

San Francisco, February 9.-Based on preliminary annual figures by the California Redwood Association, California Redwood production and shipments were greater in 1936 than in any year since 1929.

Production for the year totaled 433 million feet, shipments 377 million feet, company use and plant waste 34 million feet, orders accepted 4Ol million feet and unfilled orders were 60 million feet at the close of the year.

Redwood prqduction was 31 per cent greater than 1935; 318 per cent of 1932 7 per cent greater than 1930; 89 pel cent of 1929 production and 7I per cent of 1924, peak yeat of the post war era.

Redwood shipments were 22 per cent above 1935; 236 per cent of.1932; 10 per cent above 193O and 88 per cent of. l9D. Shipments would have been greater except for the maritime strike which eliminated all water shipments during November and December.

More than half of the unfilled orders of 6O,000,000 feet are for Eastern shipment. Unshipped foreign orders are unusually heavy because of the suspension of water shipments at the end of October.

Redwood stocks on hand are in decidedly better balahce than was the case two or three years ago and efforts ivill be made during the remainder of. 1937 to improve this situation in behalf of California Redwood customers.

Eastern shipments gained 19 per cent over 1935 to set a new record for Redwood in the East. This would have been even greater but for the strike, as was the case in Southern California, where a gain of 37 per cent was recorded.

All forecasts point to a consistent increase in the Use of Redwood in 1937. With shipping conditions again peaceful on the Pacific Coast, shipments are expected to exceed those of 1929 on the basis of present indications.

It'g a Question

When a contractor comes to your office With a lumber list long as your arm, And tells you to sharpen your pencil, Do your "innards" note signs of alarm ? Or do they ?

You know that his methods are sharky, You suspect that he peddles at times. Do you say to yourself, I don't need him And I'll not cut his bill a thin dime ? Or do you ?

Your regular builders don't like him, He takes all his contracts so low. For a day's work hi pay but three dollars And lien rumors might not be soOr are they?

Quite a bit of his list calls for items Bought when prices were not near so high, And if you don't sell he'll go elsewhere. Should you offer old prices and tryOr should you?

Such builders leave problems unanswered, They breed in all towns large and small. Low price is the thing that they're after, Yet they seem to be favored by all.

They never make any money, They don't seem to care for success. They brag of their hundreds of contracts, Yet the credit man savs thev're a mess.

You quote a low price to get started, And you favor with service and grade, Yet they'll scuttle like rats from a plagued ship If on price thirty cents can be made.

And_

When your "regular" brings in a house bill, And tells you delivery to make Do you say to yourself "Old Faithful," And plan on the discount you'll make ? Or do you?

It's a system that doesn't make reason, They say that man reaps what he sows. The reward of the "regular" is in heaven, And the peddler gets his as he goesOr does he?
