Machinery Life Cut
To Half by Exposure
Storage Building Will
Reduce Farm Overhead
Since farmers reduce by half the
life of machinery left exposed to
the weather through the winter
months, according to a recent uni- |
versity survey, they will find it in
their interest financially to replace
old, inadequate and inefficient sheds
with modern, well-planned struc
tures.
The survey showed the life of
equipment, housed and unhoused, as
follows; Walking plows, 20 years or
15; cultivators 20 or eight; gang
plows, 20 or 10; mowers, 12 or
seven; corn planter, eight or four;
binder, 12 or five; wagon, 24 or 19;
and disk harrow, 15 or eight.
"No matter what the cost of build
• m - J
The picture above L.hows how
one farmer houses his ma
chinery in a modern structure.
The life of machinery left ex
posed to weather is reduced by
half, experts report.
ing, It is always cheaper than ma
chinery,” an agricultural engineer
reports. “No building on the farm
will pay better dividends Uian the
machinery shed.”
Typical of the modern type ma
chinery building being used on
many farms is the one pictured
above. It is located on the Vincent
Lilly farm near Rochester, Minn.
Its dimensions, 24 by 48 feet, and
the absence of inside posts due to
the arched roof construction, pro
vide ample room for this farmer’s
machinery.
City People With Money
Inflate Farm-Land Market
The agriculture department re
ports that city folks with money—
and worries about possible further
shrinkage in its buying power—are
helping to inflate the farm-land
market.
Many buyers are businessmen and
investors who are seeking good
farms as an investment hedge
against inflation. As a result farm
prices increased on a national aver
age basis 3 per cent between July
and- November of last year. They
now are 5 per cent above the rec
ord set in March, 1920.
The .department said land values
advanced in all states. The east
north central states showed the
largest average gain for any region j
—6 per cent—but the west north !
central, west south central and
pacific regions were up 5 per cent.
Average prices are higher than \
a year ago in all but three states.
Florida showed the largest gain
-19 per cent—largely because of fa
vorable returns from citrus fruits i
and pasture lands.

Bad Utensils Can Hurt
Quality of Milk, Cream
Milk pails, milking machine con- !
tainers, strainers or milk and cream
cans often are the cause of poor I
quality milk and cream, according
to dairy marketing specialists.
Dairy utensils with open seams,
rusty spot* or rough surfaces caused
by dents, rough solder or milkstone !
cannot be properly cleaned. Bac
teria thrive in these places because
small portions of milk or cream j
lodge in the crevices. 1

SELECT BREAKFAST
JUICES TO INSURE
VITAMIN C PLENTY
BY CLANCY McCALEB
Chilled juices, popular first
course at breakfast, are tangy
waker-uppers that go well with
hot dishes on most morning
menus. And some juices—if the
portions are generous—do im
portant duty in providing much
of the day’s vitamin C.
Fresh orange juice is rich in
this vitamin, but all citrus juices
rank high—frozen and canned
orange juices, and the various
forms of grapefruit and tangerine
juice.
Tomato juice is another good
source of vitamin C, although, it
takes more than twice as much
canned tomato juice to match
canned orange juice. Pineapple
juice has much less of this vita
min, and only traces—unless the
juice is fortified—are to be found
in apple, prune, or grape juice,
all popular for flavor and va
riety.
If your breakfast juice is short
on C, be sure to get this vitamin
in some other dish or later in the
day. Vitamin C also called as
corbic acid—is one of the essen
tials for keeping tissues in good
condition. It is needed daily be
cause the body can’t store much
of this vitamin.
Among other vitamin-C-dishes
are the fruit itself of citrus and
tomatoes which can be served
in any meal. Excellent sources
of ascorbic are strawberries, kale,
turnip greens, broccoli, raw cab
bage, gre<;n peppers, and the
dark-colored raw salad greens.

Housing Body
Is Appointed
At W. Robins
A Warner Robins Housing Au
thority has been created to build
low-rent housing projects, par
ticularly for Negroes.
The federal government will
provide 100 per cent of the cost,
amortized over 30 years.
(Perry also has an acute
housing shortage, but city and
county officials have done little
or nothing to relieve it—much
less to bring in hundreds of
good citizens who want to live
here and who would greatly
add to purchasing power for
Perry businesses.)
Nearly 100 Georgia cities, in
cluding Hawkinsville, Cordele,
Dublin and many others whose
housing shortages are not as
acute as Perry’s, are already con
stucting projects with federal
funds.
Members Appointed
Mayor W. T. Giles and city
council of Warner Robins last
week established the Housing
Authority which has power to
condemn property if necessarj
and to build approved projects.
Members of the Authority ap
pointed by Mayor Giles are D. L.
Fountain, president of the Citi
zens’ State Bank, for a five-year
term; Henry Watson, Robins bus
iness man; Frank Bizzell, gro
ceryman; William Rape, mainten
ance supervisor for Fickling &
Walker Agency which is itself
building thousands of housing
accommodations; and Joe Morris,
manager of the Charlie Williams
Agency owned by the Houston
county representative who is
also active in the real estate bus
iness.
Billy Lewis, Polk County, won
the Northwest Georgia district
4-H pasture establishment contest
with 98 points out of a possible
100.
