INSULATED BARN
MAY BE DRAFTY
Ventilation Problems Must
Be Closely Watched
Although insulated animal shel-
ters represent a great Improvement
over oldlime drafty farm structures
Insulated structures may develop
moisture conditions more prominent
than those In a leaky building For
this reason farmers are urged to
study the ventilation problems In
their barns and shelters before in-
sulating them
The day will undoubtedly come
when Insulated farm structures will
be the rule rather than the excep-
tion Insulation for farm buildings
1b not new agricultural studies at
Rutgers university reveal The use
of sawdust in the Ice house is a
good example of its early use Now
that farmers are better acquainted
with the materials and how to use
them and because Insulation Is now
more readily available and reason-
able in cost more farm buildings
arc being insulated than ever
Generally speaking It pays to in-
sulate animal shelters Insulation
reduces the rate of heat loss from
the building hence should make it
warmer and more comfortable for
the live stock Suppose however
that cracks around windows and
doors allow air leakage causing a
greater heat loss than that through
the walls themselves Under these
conditions insulating the wall will
do little good and is not advisable
unless the doors and windows are
also repaired to prevent air leaks
This sort of reasoning must be ap-
plied to poultry houses dairy sta-
bles hog houses horse barns and
the like
Early farm structures made of
barn boards and battens had cracks
allowing ample ventilation of Its
kind The stock lived under rea-
sonably healthful conditions al-
though often at qufto low tempera-
tures Tighter walls resulted in less
air movement with consequent con-
densation on walls and celling in-
dicating the need for ventilation So
we see that the use of Insulation
amplifies the ventilation problem and
that the volume of air required for
ventilation is so great that the flues
must be very large
Government Develops
Better Grass Strains
Grass breeding is catching up
with research on other economically
Important plant crops reports M A
Ilcin pasture specialist of the fed-
eral bureau of plant industry Grass
long has been recognized as the
cheapest of live stock feeds but un-
til recently little attention was given
tabettcr grass strains through breed-
ing Department forage specialists
cooperating with various state ex-
periment stations have shown that
grosses can bo Improved by breed-
ing as much as field crops
Recent studies for Instance show
that length of day light Intensities
air and soil temperatures all play
an importantpart in grass growth
How to induce and Increase the pro-
duction of grass seed particularly
In the Southeast and the Great
Plains where many of the more de-
sirable and most promising grasses
fall to produce any quantity of viable
seed li another problem that the sci-
entists want to know more about
Why some grasses are more palat-
able and higher In nutritive value
than others also Is beinir studied
But Its True

To carry out grass studies as rap
Idly as possible the country has
been divided into regions where there
Is a similarity in the problems and
consequently in the methods of at-
tack Adaptation studies of largo
numbers of domestic and foreign
grass species arc made at nurseries
In the various regions In this
preliminary work studies are made
of the palatabllity and the reaction
of the introduced grosses to grazing
As far as possible those that fall
to show promise in this initial phase
of the breeding program are elimi-
nated
R E A Dollars
For each dollar loaned by the Rur-
al Electrification administration to
bring central station service to farm
communities the farmer spends ap-
proximately another dollar for wir-
ing and appliances so as to take ad-
vantage of the energy brought to
his home REA records show Avail-
able electricity creates a demand
for radios Irons washing machines
water pumps vacuum cleaners and
many other items that bring com-
fort and entertainment to the farm
home and employment to industry
Skimmed Milk
All farmers know that skimmed
milk is a good feed for pigs but
many people do not know just what
Its feeding value is Skimmed milk
and buttermilk too are both defi-
cient in vitamins A and D end In
iron Vitamin D which aids in the
assimilation of minerals Is supplied
by the sun Vitamin A and other
vitamins proteins and minerals in
cluding iron are supplied by good
pasture and to come extent by
green leafy legume hay
GenJohnson Says
Continued from page 1
fag thlrd that fie once resisted fn
the courts a workers election con-
ducted by the old NRA labor rela-
tions board
The latter statement Is true He
appealed to the courts against Ille-
gal action by that board and won
his case Since when is that a dis-
qualification The other two state-
ments are untrue When the New
Deal and especially NRA began its
crusade for better labor relations
eiapccially in the then crustacean
steel industry they had no more
sincere supporter than Mr Weir
His own labor relations were good
His was one of the first great com-
panies voluntarily to seek an elec-
tion supervised by government to
determine the question of majority
representation
Agreed on Rules
The board held a hearing ond
agreed with the company and Its
employees on the rules for this elec-
tion which was then established
procedure before the old NRA board
a creature of executive order rath-
er than of statute Mr Weir went
back to Weirton to carry out the
agreement On the eve of the elec-
tion an officious young lawyer of the
later or Janissarlat type of fourth
New Dealer appeared to supervise
it and announced n radically dif-
ferent procedure from that formal-
ly ond regularly decreed by the
board Mr Weir refused to ac-
cept this new ukase and was up
held in court From that time on
ho got the worst running around
and scries of kicks in the pants of
any Industrialist of those times
At first hand I dont know enough
about developments since to say
whether that soured his view or
changed his attitude but I do know
that when the New Deal started he
was considered by it the most lib-
eral ond progressive employer in
his Industry
