Form Buildings

Good farm buildings pay off in greater profits,

With this theme, a new 18page booklet prepared by a team of agricultural engineers presents guidelines for erecting structures that will boost production in dairy and beef cattle, hogs and poultry. and improve storage for grain, feed and machinery.

The booklet concludes with a statement on western wood in farm buildings. One inch of wood has the same insulation capabilities as 14 inches of concrete, thus minimizing condensation. Wood is stable at temperature extremes, so its fastenings don't tear out. It is easier to repair and alter, and requires less long-range maintenance. The booklet is available for 25 cents,
