Data Sheets jor Granaries Available

The California Redwoocl Association has just prepared two descriptive and illustrated data sheets, "Portable Granary," and "Crib Wall Granary."

Due to an unique lock-corner construction, only a small amount of nails are required in building up the walls of a crib-type portable granary of 50Gbushels capacity, and another economical feature of this farm granary is that it can be easily taken apart for off-season storage, or its laminations and floor may be used for other utility structures in between seasons.

The Portable Granary of crib-wall construction was designed by the Association's technical stafi and is built of 2x4 laminations with special notched ends. The notches make all corners interlock, so that walls build up very quickly. The entire granary can be built of No. 2 Common Redwood. It is set on three 6x8 Redwood skids.

The Crib Wall Granary data sheet presents a master plan for a four-bin, 2,00Gbushel granary of crib construction, which can easily be varied to provide capacities from 500 to 4,000 bushels by merely changing the number of units and increasing the height of the walls. This granary is said to be easy to build, requires no special tools, and utilizes random lengths of lumber with a minimum of waste, cutting, and framing on the job. The 2x4 laminations can be of No. 2 Common Redwood, although No. 3 Common Redwood can be used by trimming out occasional defects that weaken seriously.

Granaries of crib construction fill the current urgent need of California farms of storage facilities for the bulk handling of the 1942 grain crop. Ordinarily California field crops go into burlap sacks at harvest time, agriculture authorities in the state point out, but that this year war conditions have caused a sack shortage amounting to about one-half of the normal requirement. Recent estimates indircate that between now and Tuly, dealers will sell California farmers
