Water Sources Must Be Inspected
And Tested To Prevent Pollution

Any of the sources of water for
suburban and country homes
springs, wells, and cisterns-can be-
come polluted unless properly con-
structed and periodically inspected.
Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz. state
health commissioner. points out that
drinking Of water from polluted sup
plies is the cause Of many cases of
typhoid fever and dysentery. He
cautions that although water may
look good. taste good, and smell
good. meteorological examinations
may show pollution from human
and animal sources"

Storm Wind Damage To Many Farm Buildings
Can Be Reduced With Proper Construction

Rendering with little relish the
hurricanes that tore into this Sec
ton last year. and seeing some Of
the effects Of the winds at Powha-
tan this year. any help offered to
reduce this hurricane damage is ap-
preciated. G. D. Kite, agricultural
engineer at VPI reports that con-
struction Of farm buildings can pre-
vent much Of the damage to build
ings.
Storm winds exceeding rs miles
an hour-generally termed winds
of hurricane forcs" cause ire
rnendoas damage to buildings Of Or
binary construction. Kite says.
But making new or existing build
ings strong enough to resist such
winds need not be expensive. For
example, it is estimated that it
would cost an additional SIS or so
to make 80 by 72-foot frame
poultry house strong enough to re-
sist lO8-mile-per-hour wind.
1t is not practical to make farm
buildings strong enough to resist
the full force Of tornadoes. which
are extremely violent In narrow
path. But certain construction meas
lures will help protect buildings To-
Gated on the fringes of a tornado.
ualnfsi Tine
(. To safeguard buildings against
strong winds. be sure the founda-
lions are heavy and deep enough to
resist overturning and lifting. The
superstructure should be anchored
securely to the foundation.
All joints between framing men,
bers should be braced to resist
horizontal pressure and suction.
Good materials and workmanship
are essential. Where possible. let
buildings De protected from winds
by hills or windbreaks, such as
groves of trees. Prevent decay and
termites.
The engineer suggests use of knee
braces to reinforce and strengthen
frame buildings.

Well Water
When the source OF water is
well, the top should be Of concrete
and the casing should be water
tight from the top down for a dis
lance Of 10 feet. Generally when a
well is found unsafe, the pollution
enters at or near the top,
In many cases merely an inspec-
tion of the well and surroundings
is all that is necessary to condemn
the water as unfit for drinking. DR..
Shanholtz advises doing away with
drawing water by this means pol
lutes the bucket and chain, and
thence the water. by handling.
A dug well should be located far
enough away from cesspools, earth
privieS. sewers. stables. and other
sources of pollution, so there is no
possibility of polluting the water
through these conditions.
Drilled wells should be located on
sites adequately drained on the sur
face, should not be subject to flood
ing, should be reasonably far re-
moved from areas in which under
ground construction. such as tun-
nels. sewers. and conduitS are To-
Gated. and should be where the
earth formations are satisfactory.
Cisterns
A cistern used as a reservoir or
tank for the collection and storage
of rain water from the roofs OF
buildings may be the only means Of
obtaining pure drinking water in
some communities. In some places
it is the best method of providing a
dependa Ole water supply during the
dry months.
Safe drinking water cannot be
assured from clStern," said DR.

and top are kept absolutely tight tc

Weeds cost farmers more than in

Weeds crowd out crops and COM

yellow mustard requires twice as
much nitrogen, twice as much phos-
phoric acid. four times as much
potash. and four times as much
water as a well-developed oat plant
A common ragweed requires three
times as much water as does corn.
