Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your grancries now. You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for $51.58 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 nnywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling and sewing sacks. v The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is among them. Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of tho money goes to India. BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. He sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend at homo pvevent loss and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gianaries now. Portable granaries of this type are universally used in other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma terial for one granary.
