Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work nnd worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries nom You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class-1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you $125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.. A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing awoy with high priced labor handling and sewing sacks. The boys in the trenches need tho sacks for sand bags for tho protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is nmong them. Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at homo. When you buy saclc3 part of the money, goes to India. ' BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be nrSuared bvbuildinc them beforo tho farming season opens up. Vie sure 6p get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumberWill give, you trouble in a few seasons.
