About Sizes Again 



Last week we talked together about the 

 46 feet house and some 01 the econo- 

 mies in maintaining these large houses 

 — but the erection costs are just as 

 strong in their arguments. Growers 

 seem inclined to ignore the fact that 

 a house 1 1 feet wide requires the same 

 sides and ridge, same work to frame ; 

 same glass and paint and same heat as 

 the 30 feet house. 



One wide house is not only cheaper 

 to maintain than two small houses of 

 equal area, but a great deal cheaper 

 to erect. 



Cutting expense down is one 

 thing; cutting it off at both • 

 ends (building end and main* 

 taining end) is another. The 

 large house, cuts both ends.
