Building Plans for Georgia Farmers

Building Plans for Georgia Farmers
Now that plans for the more gen
eral Investigation of our farm
crops are being instituted, there is
naturally a greater interest being
evidenced in plans for farm build
ings than has hitherto existed. It
is not surprising that this should abe
the case, for whenever a variety of
crops are produced, the question of
housing and storing them until they
can be prepared or shipped to mar
ket becomes a matter of the greatest
Importance. New farm practices re-
quire OF course the use of buildings
which have hitherto been non-exist-
ent. On the ordinary cotton farm,
very small barn might answer
very well, but on the beef or dairy
cattle farm, a good big barn must
be provided so that adequate hous-
ing for the animals may be made
available and proper protection of
the food supplies insured. There
must be Silos on the dairy farm. The
man who would raise hogs needs
special barn to use for this purpose.
Tobacco barns are essential where
this crop is planted. If sweet DO.
tatoes are to be raised and cured
| successfully one must build a sweet
potato storage house. Where meat
is to be handled, there must be a
cold storage house and a smoke
house. Nearly every farmer now
owns garage, and septic tank is
essential to properly carry waste
from the household. We need peach
packing sheds, poultry houses, i'm.
plement barns, slaughter houses and
hog grading pens on many of our
farms.
The demands for aid along this
line have been so insistent that the
Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture has endeavored to meet the
same through the agency of its
Agricultural Engineering division.
Hundreds of building plans have
been prepared by the men in charge
of this department, and they have
been furnished free of cost to the
farmers Of Georgia. Requests for
information of this, character are
being received now almost daily,
and, in order that our farmers may
know what plans are available, A

secured is presented below.
