It would seem to be stretch OF the
imagination to compare a barn to a
Liberty bond as an income producing
investment. But when it is considered
that a modern barn, equipped with Ia
bor-saving features will not only cur
down the cost Of operating a dairy
farm, or any other farm, and will
make the live stock more productive

AGE OF THE SUN AND STARS

disagreement between physical astron-
omers and biologists concerning the
duration of solar radiation and the
conquest age of the earth, and also the
question of the age of the stars In
General. The short time scale or the
astronomers is based on the assump-
tIon that the suns heat, flowing uni
formly at the observed rate in all d.
rections, comes from such recognized
sources as gravitational contraction
tha fall of meteorites, radiOactivity'
etc. The supply Of heat from these
sources could last only few million
years. The date Of geology, however
particularly the recent work on
h+,hms in denudation and sedimen'

seen that modern barn is worth
while on every farm. The barn itself
and its equipment represent a fair
sized investment, but it is an invest
ment that will pay good, big dividends
In actual cash through saving of labor
and increased production. Also there
is the advantage Of tightening the
work around the barn, work that is
done in the early morning and in the
evening, which win enable the farm
err to get better help.
This is the season of the year wher
farmers have the opportunity to plaI
