Report Finds Reasons
For Wind Damage

A report which pinpoints some
of the construction weaknesses
that resulted in damage to Som
erset County farm buildings
during the hurricane of October
Is has been released by Guy W..
Gienger, University of Maryland
Extension agricultural engineer.
Gienger based the report on a
survey made of 10 farms in the
county. Accompanying him on
the survey trip were C. z. Keller,
county agricultural agent; Bob
Street, Somerset County feed
dealer; Dick Warfield, local re-
preventative for the Farmers
Home Administration; and Char
les P. Merrick, Extension agri-
cultural engineer.
The damage to buildings on
each farm inspected - and the
apparent weaknesses wh ii C h
caused the damage - are listed
in Gienger's report:
First farm visited - part of a
broiler house blown down. This
was a two-thirds span building on
4-inch concrete foundation. The
part of the house that blew down
had bolts in the foundation and
through the sill, but no nuts on
the bolts. The part of the house
left standing had nuts on the
bolts. The part of the house
that blew down had the roof
separated from the side walls.
Weakness: No nuts on the
sill bolts. More nails needed in
the plate and rafters.
Second farm visited - damage
to two broiler houses. On one, a
shed-type roof house set on d
inch cinder block 3IS-inch bolts
pulled through the sill and some
4-inch blocks came up with the
sill. On the other house, with a
concrete foundation, bolts set in
the foundation 21a to 8 inches
broke out of the foundation.
Weakness: Bolts holding sill
to foundation not set deep
enough, and bolt washers too
small in diameter. One-half inch,
or larger, bolts should be used.
Third farm visited = a she'd
roof broiler house damaged
when the top plate, which was
nailed to the rafters, pulled
loose from the lower plate
Some moisture damage was
noticed in the rafters and plates

Wet Litter Leads
To Dirty Eggs

SHOW me a laying house with
wet litter and I'll show you a lot
of dirty eggs" says University
of Maryland Extension poultry
man Wade H. Rice.
He notes that wet litter - and
dirty eggs - becomes a common
problem in November and De-
cember. In most cases, the ex-
planation for the trouble show
ing up at this season is that
poultrymen close up the house to
keep the birds warm" without
making provisions for removing
excess moisture.
There is a lot of moisture in
a poultry house." Rice explains.
"If it isn't removed, it condenses
and soaks the litter. Wherever
condensation is causing wet
litter, some changes need to be
made in either the building or
the management to remove
moisture"
A lot of extra work is required
to clean and wash dirty eggs.
Rice says this extra work could
just as well be spent in providing
proper ventilation and litter con-
ditionS which would not only be
much better for the birds, but
would actually save labor in the
end.
Houses up to SO feet wide can
be satisfactorily ventilated by
gravity action through windows
and vents of proper design.
Houses over Sc feet wide, having
A-type roofs, usually need either
fans or ridge ventilators.
Location, exposure and house
design vary, so each house has a
different ventilation problem.
This calls for special study of
each house by qualified person
or engineer to suggest changes in
ventilation or house manage
ment, or both.
Poultrymen may contact their
county agents, or Extension spe-
cialists in the University of
Maryland poultry and agricul-
tural engineering departments,
for advice on wet litter and
ventilation.

Lack Of Farm Grain Storage
Held Part of Market Problem

Agricultural economists at the
University of Maryland ar e
studying ways of helping Mary
land farmers solve some of the
difficulties they have had in re.
cent years in the efficient mar
keting of grain.
An extensive grain marketing
research program started in
1852, and will not be completed
until next year.
Dave Burns, economist, who is
directing the research, says that
although the research is incom-
plete, there are preliminary find
ings that explain some of the
inefficiencies in grain marketing.
For example" Burns explains,
1--WE had always believed that
few farmers had storage space
on. their farms to hold grain for
a few months so they could take
advantage of higher prices later
in the year. But we were sur
prised at the small storage
space farmers actually do have"
The economists interviewed
about $50 grain producers in Is
Maryland counties, and found
that only IL percent of the wheat
farmers in the survey had any
storage space available and the
average amount of space avail
able was only 303 cubic feet.
Very few of the farmers owned
or had access to grain drying
facilities and only a few rented
storage space in commercial
elevators.
"This partly explains why
farmers sell grain as soon as it
is harvested, and often at re-
duced prices" Burns comments.
"They have no drying and stor-
age facilities SO they must sell to
someone who can properly dry
and store it."
The survey also showed that
the majority of farmers inter-
viewed were in such a hurry to
sell their grain that they accept
ed the price offered by the first
buyer contacted, without any
effort to contact another buyer
and many did not check the
price offered against quota prices
out of the major terminal mar
kets like Baltimore.
"An extensive study of grain
marketing practices in Mary
land has not been made for about
30 years." Burns points out.
"Since then, the entire marketing
setup has changed. For example,
soyabean production has ex-
panded rapidly in that period.
Our research will end with
study of the need for, the best

Part of the house was new and
remained standing, but even this
part was we'll off its foundation.
Weakness: No foundation ties.
Needed more nails in the top
plate.
Fourth farm visited = a two
thirds span broiler house blew
off its block foundation.
This house was held to the foun-
dation by V inch bolts. The bolts
we're imbedded only in the first
course of blocks, and that row
of blocks went with the house.
Another house was not bolted to
the foundation and blew off the
foundation.
Weakness: Bolts holding house
to foundation not imbedded
deeply enough. Bolts should
run below first course of blocks.
Fifth farm visited - Damage
to buildings on three different
farms. One damaged broiler
house had no foundation bolts,
otherwise was well built. Another
broiler house also lacked founda-
ton bolts, but was of very light
construction. A machinery shed
settled down on machinery when
bolts holding the shed to cinder-
block foundation tore loose from
the foundation. The bolts were
imbedded only in the first course
of blocks.
Weakness: Buildings were not
properly tied to foundation.
Sixth farm visited one
broiler house destroyed and an
estimated 20 percent damage to
other broiler houses.
Weakness: Buildings not pro-
perly anchored to foundation,
and lack of adequate mailing at
the top plate.
Seventh farm visited = broiler
house destroyed and home dam,
aged when boards broke off
from the broiler house and were
driven part way through various
parts of the dwelling.
Weakness: Same as other
broiler houses.
Eighth farm visited = Broiler
house down.
Weakness: Same as others.
Ninth farm visited new
machine shed, set on founda
ton of 8-inch concrete blocks
blown down.
Weakness: Poor mortar bono
between blocks. Center posts
were set on pillars, but not
anchored down. The building
was anchored only to the toE
course of blocks, which pulled
away from rest of the founda
ton.
obviously" Gienger says
"the most common weaknesses ir
these buildings were inadequate
anchoring to the foundation anc
inadequate mailing of rafters tc
the plates. Apparently farmers
need to give more attention tc
these things when constructing
farm buildings"
He suggests that Maryland
farmers ask their county agents
about the building plan service
which makes approved building
plans available at low cost.
