Granddad Paid High Price For His
"Loose-Board" Ventilating System
B» IRA MIN ER
Farm Electrifieatioi. Bureau
Damp dairy barm and poultry
houses never worried granddad. They
were too well ventilated—and cold
as all outdoors in winter. Cracks be-
tween boards and loose fitting doors
and windows took care of his venti-
I egg production slumped, the drafty
buildings were unhealthy for stock,
chickens and help. His high feed bill
ate up his returns—if any —on cold-
weather production.
That was yesterday. Today, scien-
tifically designed electric, ventilation
systems put granddad's crude meth-
ods in the shade. Not only do they
protect timbers, wiring, paint, pip-
ing and nailheads against dampness,
but they do it in tight-sided build-
ings where doors and windows fit
snugly. As a result, winter winds
howl outside, rather than inside. Be-
cause such systems keep the atmos-
phere of the buildings dry and com-
fortable, cows and chickens housed
in them are able to maintain milk,
and egg production at a high level
during the winter months Feed costs
remain average, since stock and
poultry do not have to eat an ab-
normal amount to keep warm Effi-
ciency of workers is maintained,
Poultry litter stays dry longer and
the danger of colds to chickens and
stock is lessened.
Modern ventilation systems de-
pend on fans, operated by small mo-
tors, to exhaust used air, and in-
takes near ceilings to permit entry
of fresh air. Fans should be located
so as to draw out used air from near
the floor of the buildings. Intakes
should be built to deliver air up-'
wards toward the ceiling in order
to prevent drafts
Dairy barn ventilating fans are op-
erated by motors of about */« or Vi
horsepower Fan capacity should be'
60 cubic feet per minute per animal.|
There shoulcTbe one fresh air intake
for each four cows Ventilating fans
in poultry houses usually are oper-[
ated by fans powered by motors of,
1/40 to 1/20 horsepower They should'
have a capacity of 75 to 100 cubic!
feet per 100 birds housed. Tight'
floors and deep litter should be used .

It has come to the attention of

wages for themselves as well as for

their employees, according to Gordon
James, manager of the San Antonio

tion.
Employers in unincorporated busi-

of the tax which they have paid on

Ben Ryder is back ! After twenty
/cars in Capital City, Ben has re-
ired and come to enjoy life in the
amily house on Maple Street.
First thing Ben does is write us
complaining how Our Town has
changed. “Why, there’s no mud in
the streets to sink up to your
ankles in!" he says. “No pistol
feuding in the town square! No
moonshine liquor or Saturday
night brawls! Nothing to do but
settle for a temperate glass of beer
in a law-abiding tavern!”
“Tumble, turrible, tumble,” Ben
says, “how a town can get run down
in twenty years!” And then Ben
takes his tongue out of his cheek
and tells us how proud he is of the
orderly, law-abiding atmosphere he
finds here.
And from where I sit, you can
point to that growing preference
for a moderate, wholesome glass of
beer a.. one reason folks in Our
Town are so temperate, and neigh-
borly and well-behaved.

^QjyiTHIN the next five yean America'i
vv business-managed electric companies
will spend five billion dollars to bring more
and better electric service to more and more
people.
Five billion dollan is a lot of money.
These billions of dollan will mean many
things to many people. They will build hun-
dreds of additions to existing power plants,
install new generaton, pay for thousands of
miles of wire and cable—create thousands
of jobs. This expansion alone will produce
more electric power than all present govern-
ment power plants combined.
The electric industry's five-year new con-
struction program is an expression of faith
UNTIL YOUR NfW CAR COMES ALONG
WFLL KEEP YOUR OLD ONE GOING STRONG I
Likewise, business-managed Central Power
and Light Company is expressing its faith in
South Texas. It spent five million dollars on
new facilities last year, is spending about nine
million dollars this year, and plans to spend
many millions more for further expansion in
the next four years.
Today, more and more people want mora
and more electricity... and the electric in-
dustry is forging ahead, despite vital material
shortages and rising costs, to meet the unprec-
edented demand for power. A 65-year-old,
13-billion dollar American industry is pacing
itself for a 38% growth in the next five years.
There’s only one place in the world where
this five-billion-dollar vision could come true
—in America, where enterprise, imagination,
courage, resourcefulness and faith are free to
see great goals—and reach them.
