Because Of necessarily light
construction, the average screen
door gives more trouble than
solid or glazed doors. The fact
that they are made up of a light
frame with large openings in the
center and only one bracing
member across the middle makes
them warp easily and loosen at
the joints. One of the best
things you could do would be to
set angle braces at all four
corners to keep the frame in
tact.
The screening itself comes in
for a large amount of abuse.
Children have the habit of push
ing these doors open by placing
their hands right in the middle

and frequently tear the mesh
away along one edge or another.
A sure cure for the children's S
habit is to install two battens
across the door. If these are
properly located, they will protect
the mesh. The battens are made
of XXI u" strip and should be
installed on both sides of the
screening. A set of these easily
installed protectors may we'll
save you the job of rescreening
a door every year if there are
youngsters around the house.
One type of batten or guard

want to be particularly fancy
about your doors. you can buy
brass rods and install them in
stead of the wood strip. The
rods come with fittings at each
end which can be screwed into

value per acre of $114 reported for
Delaware in the 1850 census.
This slight increase for farm

here than in most states.
For the United States as a whole,
average value per acre Of farm
land and farm buildings is down
slightly compared to last year.
Land values follow the trend 'Of
farm prices which have been fall

Demand for farmland has weak

farm real estate values have been
on downward trend, the BAE

ics) adds. This report is based or
a survey of farm real estate dealers
in each state. Exceptions to the
general trend were noted in top
grade farms where the asking price
in most areas has remained fairly
firm.
