PRICE OF FOODSTUFFS
If Drop Is too Great, Farmers VIII
Raise Something Else

That the farmer is in the same posi-
ton as most business men, awaiting
developments, Is the opinion Of Il. S.
Brigham, State commissioner of agri-
culture. who was in the city Friday.
Mr.. Brigham said that at this time it
was impossible to predict what acreage
would be devoted to the different crops,
as everything depended on developments.
One thing he felt certain of, and that
is that if the present tendency to drop
the price of foodstuffs continues and the
price of getting crop stays where it is,
the acreage on all crops that require
much expense and labor will be curtailed
and the farmer will put his land into
raising others.
Mr. Brigham pointed out that during
the last 80 days there had been a great
decrease in the price of farm products
While this was going on there was no
decrease in the price Of the items which
go into raising crops, Fertilizer, farm
machinery. and labor have stayed the
same If this condition continues it will
mean that there will be bigger crops of
hay than in former years and less of
the others. Probably many farmers will
turn to grain, although that requires
more work than hay.
AS regards wheat Mr.. Brigham stated
that Vermont raised even more than was
estimated. and while everyone thought
that an acreage of 1000 acres was re-
markable, later information reveals the
fact that about 1900 acres were devoted
to that grain. 1t is hard to tell what the
farmers will do this year. but with the
guaranteed price most farmers will prob
ably stick to 1t. Last year as high as
s2.39 per bushel was paid by some of the

was stolen, but the soldiers dsdained to

here.
Intense cold prevails in Moscow and
fuel is SO scarce that wooden houses in
the suburbs of the city have been torn
down for fuel. Fine furniture has also
been used for the same purpose. Stores

somewhat larger than the area Of the
inlets or supply vents, inasmuch as air
expands with heat. to carry off the warm
ed. stale, moisture-laden air And this
arrangement should be of such proper
tons as will change the atmosphere in
the brooder several times an hour. When
put into actual practice the principles are
few and simple in the extreme. AS pre-
viously pointed out. 1t Is only the ex-
PLANTATION of them that seems difficult.
Openings covered with muslin or other
porous fabrics are widely used nova
days as a means Of ventilating poultry
buildings. For laying houses and such
like in which there is no attempt at
artificial heat these curtains cannot be
excelled, inasmuch as they admit album
dant fresh air that is free from direct
currents. Curtains are usually employ
ed in connection with exhaust ventla-
tors, however, which latter establish a
circulation Of air.
In brooder houses and coops It is
generally impractical to depend upon
c,oth-covered opening, because of the
need for artificial heat, which cannot be
maintained under all conditions of mild
and severe weather. unless the amount
Of ventilation is under perfect control.
In short, a curtain-openng ventilator of
a given size might give excellent results
In May and be entirely out of the ques-
ton in February or March. when wintry
winds blow. and sometimes rage.
Venilators, as shown In the accom-
panying diagrams, are easily construct
ed at small expense and have given sat
isfactory service under varying condi-
tons. They are intended to be sugges-
lions. really. because their construction
may have to be modified to suit partic-
ular buildings or circumstances.
NO NEED TO CUT ROOF
| 1t is seldom necessary to install venti-
lators in the roofs of poultry houses
Unless such ventlators are accurately
made, preferably of metal, which in
| wolves expense, and are carefully in
/ stalled. they are likely to endanger the
integrity of the roofing and in due time
create leaks. Ordinarily. equally good
results can be obtained by carrying off
! the stale air through an opening in the
! highest point in the front wall as shown
! in sketch
| This diagram illustrates typical sec
ton of the shed-roof or single-pitch roof
1t will be noted that the rafters are
made to extend six inches beyond the
! plate or front-wall boarding, and that
! their ends are cut to a line parallel with
the front wall. After the roofing boards
are laid, 2-inch board is nailed to the
/ ends OF the rafters and to the edge o.
the front roof board. If the roofing ma

The exhaust air has an unobstructe,
passage between the rafters, over tn,
plate and downward through the six
inch opening to the outside. except as
may be controlled by the hinged cover
which is operated from the inside Of tn
