CONVENIENT GRANARY
FOR THE GENERAL FARM

In view of the present high prices
of all grains, it is profitable manage
ment for every general farmer TO pro-
vide adequate and dependable storage
for these valuable farm products.
The division of rural engineering of
the Bureau of Public Roads. United
States Department of Agriculture, has
devised an excellent arrangement for
a large granery adapted for the gen.
eral grain farm. This storage is "a
by IA feet in floor dimensions and is
subdivided into four bins, each of
which is by 9 feet, and has a capac-
ity of $50 bushels. Each bin is pro-
vided with door through which the
grain may be distributed into the
storage, while it also has a protected
scoop door through which the grain
can be delivered. The four bins front
on an alley way which is by IA feet,
where the seed can be famed and
cleaned or also treated against dis
ease. In case of emergency where
the grain crop exceeds the permanent
storage capacity. this space also may
be partitioned off and utilized for
storage purposes. The total capacity
of the permanent bins is 1900 bushels
while the emergency space also avail
able in the central cleaning floor in
creases the total possible storage to
over 2100 bushels.
