Frank Nash Will
Retire Soon from
Road Commission Job

The Alaska Road Commission an
nounces with regret the impending
retirement of Frank Nash, District
Engineer, Alaska Road Commission,
Fairbanks.
Nash is one of the oldest en-
ployees in point of service of the
Alaska Road Commission. He has
had over thirty-one years of Fed
eral Service and entered the en-
ployment of the Alaska Road Com
mission on June /, 1924. He was
employed as surveyor, foreman,
and engineer until July l, 1929,
when he was appointed Acting Sup
erintendent of the Fairbanks Dis
trict On January /, 1880, he was
promoted to the position of Sup
erintendent of the Fairbanks Dis
trlct Qater changed to District
Engineer and he has served in
that position continuously for over
twenty years until the present time
During the early period of Nash's
service with the Alaska Road Com
mission, Fairbanks was a pioneer
community and the dog team was
the only way of travel when the
winter SHOWS had covered the coun-
try. Nash was an outstanding ex-
pert with dog team transportation
and made many long and arduous
journeys by this means for the AL
aska Road Commission, exploring
the Yukon and Tanana River ba-
sins before they were opened up
by roads. He was familiar with
Beaver, Fort Yukon, Circle, Eagle,
the Forty Mile, and Upper Tanana
River long before the Steese High
way and the Alaska Highway were
conceived. Later Nash was intimate
ly concerned with the construction
of roads into all these regions and
their improvement to the present
high standard. He also was deeply
concerned with the development of
roads in outlying localities such as
Hot Springs, Ruby, Wiseman, and
many other places. His work was of
a very high caliber, and he has
been recommended for the Meritor-
ious Service Award of the Depart
ment of the Interior in recogni-
ton of his long and excellent SER
vice.
Nash is one of Alaska's outstand-
ing citizens. He has been active in
the work Of the Rotary Club and
the American Legion and has serv-
ed as Department Commander and
Alternate Executive Committee
man of Alaska for the American
Legion. His retirement will take
effect about November Is, 1850, af-
ter the completion of field opera
lions of the Alaska Road Commits
sion for the working season of this
year.

whether or not grain should be fed

On the average, it takes a cow l

Advantages of feeding grain in

an incentive for the cow to enter

accord and (b) the milking parlor

Now farm families can really enjoy
pleasant, practical, convenient, up-to-
date homes. Six new farm home designs,
offering the best in modern living COM
forts, are ready for your inspection.
In designing these homes, the func-
tons and requirements of farm living
were carefully studied. Experienced
architects, working with demonstration
agents and home economists, have pro-
vided the features that fulfill those needs.
The kitchens have been thoughtfully
planned for brightness and step-saving
convenience. Everything is close at hand

ing surfaces are of proper height and
well Lighted refrigerator, range and
sink are ideally positioned.
These model kitchens are easy to keep
Immaculate because an adjoining service
room provides needed space for laun-
dering, canning and other chores E. :.
facilities for the men to clean up and a
place to leave work clothes and boots.

rooms are planned for happy family life

provides an efficient place to feed
grain on the basis of production,
and (c) the Capitalization of the en-
tire milking operation on one-man
farm tends to increase overall eff
ficiency.
Disadvantages of feeding in milk
ing parlors are as follows: (a) more
stalls are required per milking unit
to keep the milking operation going.
(b) Grain in the parlor causes some
dust in the air, and (c) most of the
present feedboxes are wasteful. This
wasted grain is not only expensive
but can also easily clog drains.
Shapes and Designs
There are many shapes and de-
signs for milking parlors. Most of
them hold 8 to cows at a time.
The cows may stand in a straight
single-file line, commonly called
tandem, form u, still in single file,
or stand in pairs with pits for the
operators between each pair Re-
CARELESS of the shape, the main OBJ
jectives are to have the stalls and
equipment as compact as possible
and near the milk house to eliminate
all unnecessary walking and reduce
the time required per COW.
Tests at the University of Wis
consin on tandem and U-type par
lors indicate that with one man
operating one milking machine unit
in two stalls, there is no important
difference between the two types.
However, with one man operating
two milking units in four stalls,
the U-type showed definite advan-
tages. The operator was able to milk
B more cows per hour and save SO
percent of the walking distance.
In comparing the two tests it
was noticed that although the OPP
orators efficiency was increased
considerably with two machines
and four stalls, about z more cows
are MIXED per hour. the efficiency
per milking machine and per stall
was much less. The addition of the
second unit and two more stalls
gained less than half as many cows
per hour. The operator MIXED II
cows per hour with one unit and
"a cows with two units. This is an
important fact for the farmer who
milks less than 20 cows, since he
would probably rather spend little
more time milking and have small
er investment in equipment.
