Kinds explained that a veteran
who goes home for q vacation
stretching past the first of the month
obviously would not be available
to sign his certification at the pro-
per time. If it were not for the new
procedure. he'd have to wait until
he returned to school to sign it. AS
a result, his check would be late.
BY signing before he leaves, the
veteran is assured that the certifi-
cation will reach VA on time, ELI
minating the possibility of a late
allowance check.
This same principle will apply in
the case Of a veteran who finishes
his final examinations, and who
leaves school before the official
end Of the term. He, too, will be
permitted to fill out the certifica-
ton on his last day in class.

Suggested Plans For
New Poultry Houses
[eonLInnad 90 IIr-E -


board or metal roofing. Al 19-inch
white overlap Of asphalt roofing
material is preferred to the block
built up asphalt roof.
Sliding windows are preferred in
both the wide and narrow houses.
sume laying houses are built with
two rows Of hinged openings for
better cross ventilation. For clean
ing purposes and cross ventilation,
double doors at the ends of all
poultry houses are recommended.
Although some people find a four
inch concrete floor more easily
cleaned, dirt floor is more eco
nomical. Whatever type of floor. il
should be six inches above the
ground level for good drainage.
Elevated feed platforms make it
easy % feed and dump bags of
feed into a bin type feed carrier.
Some poultrymen are installing
bulk feed bins An automatic feed
er or feed carrier track is neces-
sary in either case.
Another important item to con-
-~~t 20 AAle WAFER supply water is
the cheapest and best item avail
able for the chickens. At least four
4-foot automatic water tr0ughs or
their equivalent per 1000 broilers
should be provided, or 1 trough
or pan per laying hens.
Enough electric wiring should be
provided 10 furnish one electric
light socket for every 200 square
feet Of floor space. This would give
one light bulb every eight feet in
e l4-foOt deep house.
Without a doubt, plenty of nails
should be used in order to strength
en- the construction Of the house.
Partitions give extra rigidity and
help the house to withstand severe
winds, and diagonal braces on the
partition walls or every 30 to 40
feet makes a stronger house.
