REDWOOD BOARDS FOR HAYSTACK COVERS

Sleepers

TYPI-D

OR other types of Hay Stack Covers, see Bulletin No. 13 "Redwood Trays-Hay Stack Covers-Turkey Nestsetc."

It is false economy to attempt to utilize boards of any kind or in any form to cover hay properly, particutarly for more than one season, zaithout a ternPorary frame to preaent unequal settlemenf. Where a proper frame is not provided, there is not only loss of hay, but heavy depreciation in the material used.

Hay Cover Type "C" is recommended in preference to Type "D" wherever it is desired to salvage the material for use later in a permanent barn or other structure.

Although frequently adopted, Type "D" is less desirable than either Type "C" above or Type "A" and "8" (illustrated in Bulletin No. 13) since, unless stack is well settled and carefully topped, unequal settlement permits warping of boards and opening of joints. It should only be adopted for winter stacks where hav cuts are not to be made.

Attention is called to the advantage of being able to remove sections of covering for this purpose in Types A, B, and C.

Secure Added Fire Protection For All Farm Building

Redwood was the only wood allowed for temporary building in all San Francisco immediately after the big fire of 1906.

"Redwood lumber ignites much less quickly and burns much more slowly than * * * other resinous soft building woods * ** and *** when Redwood becomes ignited the fire is much more easily extinguished. i( * *'

"The reason for these differences, I think, is largely owing to the fact that Redwood is well known as a non-resinous wood."

-Extracts from letter by P. H. Shaughnessy, for 22 years Chief Engineer, San Fraucisco Fire Department.
