Show i Farmers Urged To Use Logs For Graneries Farmers near enough to forests were advised this week by Joseph Skeen of Ogden .member of the Utah state AAA committee, to get out their own logs and poles to build needed grain storage bins. He pointed out that this would relieve the demand for lumber. He states that logs and poles can be used for studding, rafters and sills . in new structures and that such use would release that much more lumber for war industry in-dustry construction where such substitutions are not possible. To save tires and trucks where poles have to be hauled any distance, dis-tance, Mrs. Skeen suggested that farmers make up neighborhood pools. The local forester can give necessary information on where such timber can be obtained, he said.

This will save trucks and tires, and at the same time will relieve the transportation problem of moving the grain with a limited number of railroad cars. |
