Farm Records
Save You Money

Get off to a fresh start in 1854
by setting up a farm record sys-
tenn" advises George X. Vapaa,
County Agent.
You need a farm record book to
keep track of income and expens-
es, Vapaa explains. You'll be glad
for this complete, accurate record
when the time comes to file your
income tax return.
A further argument for farm
records is that they can save you
money. 1t has been estimated that
farmers can reduce their income
tax by at least one dollar for each
hour spent on record keeping.
The success of record keeping
lies in jotting down all transac-
tions. Record all purchases, no
matter how small. Such minor
items as spark plugs for the trac-
tor or a new hay rope will add up
to several hundred dollars a year.
These are all production expenses
and should be deducted from your
income tax.
Many kinds of record books are
available from banks, machinery
dealers, farm loan agencies and
other placse. The Kent County
Extension Office also offers several
types of record books, and Agent
Vapaa will be glad to talk them
over with you.

Since bulk handling of milk is of
considerable interest to the dairy

4. Keep your basement dry. If
your house is built over a crawl

asphalt roofing paper, even if
the ground appears dry on the

doors, keep all the windows open
until the laundry is dry.
5. In new homes or major al
terations avoid the use of vapor-
resistant materials on the outer
side of the walls unless special
wall ventilation methods are
used. Sometimes q simple device
such as a nail under shingles
will admit enough air to suffice.
6. If exterior paint blisters,
don't blame the paint or the

moisture on the inner pane is a
sign of real danger to the rest of
your, house.
2. Insulate your walls and top
floor ceiling. In new work or re-
modelling, use an insulation with
a built-in vapor barrier located
just behind the plaster or wall
board. In existing homes, where
insulation must be-, blown into
wall spaces, you can create q
good warm-side vapor barrier
by painting the wall and top floor
ceilings with rubber base or oil
base paints to seal the pores.
3. Install vent pipes from all
moisture producing equipment to
the outdoors - including gas
water heaters and gas or electric
clothes dryers and provide ven-
tilating fans to take out moisture

What to Do to Combat Inside vopor'

Vapor control is a compara-
lively new problem ih homes.
Older, more loosely constructed
houses failed to encounter this
problem. Insulation, weather.
stripping and other efforts to
squeeze every dollars worth out
OF high cost fuels brought home
owners face to face with this
problem.
It was more or less suddenly
discovered that excessive mois-
ture could do considerable dam
age. even when you couldn't see
any steam" in the air. It was
found that condensation was
causing damage within walls and
ceilings. Steel and iron began to
rust. lumber and other materials
began to mi1dew and rot and un-
comfortable dampness became
apparent. Paint started to blister
and peel.
It's an Inside Job.
For years it has been believed
that indoor moisture came from
the outside through leaks, or
from fog and high humidity. To-
day it is recognized that such
moisture arises primarily from
within the house itself. Mop
ping. washing, ironing. cooking.
bathing, evaporating pans of
water on radiators. even open
gas flames and body perspiration
are sources of indoor moisture.
The vapor in warm, moisture
laden air exerts constant pres
sure to escape to the colder out
side where the pressure is lower.
It travels through brick, con-
crete, wood plaster - anything
that is porous. When it strikes
cold-a cold surface or cold air
it condenses into moisture.
This condensation may occur
on the inner side of sheathing
boards, or even within the. build
ing materials themselves. When
it reaches the outer surface of a
house, it may cause blisters un-
der the paint.

Buying q house is one of the
biggest adventures an average
family may encounter. It can be
Q thrill and q long satisfying
experience which may go on for
years-often a lifetime.
It Is a decision which can in
volve the health. happiness and
welfare Of your family. the en-
vironment and future of your
children and many other factors.
Also it can be the biggest busi-
ness deal In the life of an aver
age family. It takes a lot of
money and usually ties you up
with q long-term debt. So it is
certainly worth some second
thought before you sign that
dotted line.
Buying a house differs from
the purchase Of other things.
You get no guarantee. except
perhaps a warranty that the
house is yours-aS Is. Occasion
ally. II it is a brand-new house,
the builder may issue q carefully
worded policy that he may come
back in a few months to make
something right if it was his
2Ault that 1t went wrong.
What You Can DO.
30 what can you do to make
sure you are getting your
moneys worth? There are lots
OF things so many they fill
books. Here are q few:
First use common sense. Tell
yourself and your family that
you are buying a house, not a
picture or a gadget or a fad.
Naturally you have to start
with the price. You know how
much you earn, how much 1t
costs you to live. how much you
have saved. It used to be that
one weeks pay was considered
the limit for one months mort
gage. payment. including taxes,
insurance. interest and q pay
mer1t on the Joan.
Recently. savings counsellors
have changed that rule to apply
only to actual take-home pay.
ut Is advisable to keep your
monthly carrying charges down
to 90 per cent Of your income. I"
says one expert.
What You Can Afford.
From q weekly take-home pay
Of SIS. perhaps SIS would be
deducted for your real estate
taxes and $50 for fire insur-
ance, leaving q balance of $3.50
to cover mortgage payments. On
q 20-year loan at 5 per cent, this
allows for a $4,000 mortgage.
The difference between the
mortgage and the price calls for
cash. And cash usually repre-
sents savings. If you have saved
$25 a month at per cent, you
should have $2.709.45 at the end
Of eight years. Your local bank
or savings institution can help
you with>a q time table on such
program.
But even if you inherited an
other $4,000, 1t would not be
wise on $75 take-home pay to
buy an $4,000 house. So much
more taxes and maintenance
would be required that you'd
have trouble getting q mort
gage.
So let the price of the house
represent IL to 212 times your
