X Economy In Sea soned Lumber * r * Use only thoroughly dry lumber for farm buildings. Unseasoned lumber causes many defects in buildings, such as cracks in floors, plastering, or walls; rattling win dows and loose-fitting doors; sag ging and distorted walls;, leaks around doors and windows weak ened structures caused by reduced nail-holding power; blistered paint; increased liability to decay; and warped, checked, arid cupped boards. In seasoning, a 12-inch board of fir or pine may shrink rr much as half an inch in ; .width, says the Forest Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture. No mat ter how carefully lumber may have been seasoned, it must be kept dr: mtil used or it will reabsorb mois ture. Wood intended for barns, hog bouses, sheds and similar struc- urcs need not be so dry as tha ired for the interior of houses ays the Forest Service. Once sat sfactorily dried, lumber for farm buildings will keep in good condit ion if bulk-piled in a dry unheat ed shed.

Water not only meant transporta tion, but it meant power; there fore our largest cities grew up where power was possible, to run the factories, and where there was means of bringing raw material in and taking finished products out. Railroads altered this somewhat. Raw materials were not always where there was the best power and transportation. Railroads made the hook-up between power and raw material, and at the same time made inland towns. But even with this combination, manufacturing had to go where the power was. Just when the time arrived that the natural reasons for the loca tion or continued progress and prosperity of a community were secondary is not recorded by a date. It occurred or occurs at the time when the taking of power to the factory is possible, and pre ferable to taking the factory to the power. Perhaps it would be bet ter here to say “industry” in place of “factory.” Factories do not make towns; people make towns, but it is not much of a town if the people are not employed, and em ployment of the people is industry. When the natural reasons for a town’s existence cease, the town usually ceases. That is the rule, not the exception. The natural reason usually does cease, for few of our great centers are now what they started out to be—or only what they started out to be. Something peculiar about that. It appears as though nature gives man something to start on—stakes him, so to speak—but if man does not improve the gift and make something more out of it,* i^atpre withdraws from the partnership- ■>nd leaves man to sink, float or .wim. There are not many new towns :oming into being today. A few, that’s true, but they will take care of themselves; for a group of men who are big enough to locate a new town, are men of enough wisdom to profit by the experience of the years gone by. No, towns do*not just grow any tnore—they have to be made to grow.
