Open ar housing Of mschiDer,
costs Kenfueky farmers sppross-
nsssly $3.50, sss a year, accord
,nr to estimates made by J. B. Kelly,
bead Of the farm engineering sec
ron q the Collere Ct Agriculture.
This amount which was estimated
FROM census reports and expert
Dents conducted to Determine the
respective lifetime Of properly and
improperly housed farming nsehin-
cry is a fair representation Of the
annual loss suffered by farmers oi
the state BY leaving machinery IN
the fields and under trees.
According to the 1920 census
there is more than s,345, S51
worth Of machinery on Kentucky
farms, the average life Of each piece
Of which is IS to 20 years under
proper housing conditions. When
left exposed to the weather farm
tools last only one-haf as long, ae-
u,ents which show that a properly
housed farm tool lasts Is years,
while an improperly housed one lasts
but little more than seven and one
half years. On this basis failure to
house their machinery causes farm
ers Of the state loss OF $500, 023
& year, whereas the depreciation on
machinery which is protected from
the weather while idle is only ST.
225.e57.
Despite the heavy losses caused
BY leaving machinery exposed to
weather conditions many farmers
still fail to give it the proper pro-
lection after the seasons work has
been finished, Mr.. Kelly said. Many
farm implements are left In the fence
corners, under trees or in fields
