URGES CARE OF SURFACE
ON ALL FARM BUILDINGS
Washington State College, July 17.
—The expression, “ Save ihe surface
and you save all," has peculiar ap
plication to farm buildings, says L. J.
Smith, head of the agricultural en
gineering department at Washington
State college. Thousands of farm
buildings are depreciating with ex
treme rapidity because their surfaces
are not properly protected by the use
of paint.
Upkeep costs are usually relatively
small if the minor repairs are not
neglected and put off to some more
convenient time, Many people do not
realize that even with a high quality
of paint, the surface is worn thin,
and that eventually a repair job is
necessary. Few realize how the ele
ments actually rub off exposed sur
faces.
If the boards are not repainted,
they check and warp. The wooden
surface is no longer as smooth and
as tight as it originally was; and
the building is not as warm as be
fore. When finally the building is
repainted, it takes a great deal more
paint and labor than would have been
the case if the surface had not been
neglected.
The Hood River softball league
embarked on the second half of it*
schedule last week. Meantime, one
game of the first half has yet to be
played, Sun vs. Bonneville, and the
outcome is still in doubt. The win
ner of the first series is to play the
winner of the second to decide the
championship.
The First National Bank will take
the Sun’s place in the league for the
second half, and the News is with
drawing its team, »o that the new
line-up will consist of the Bank,
Consolidated, Bonneville, Wyeth, the
Firemen, and the Odd Fellows.
A change in game rules was also
announced, regulations of the state
association to be followed hereafter,
instead of those of the national or
ganization. Nine players instead of
ten will constitute a team. Bunting

lead-off on bases, but runners on
