Blauser, extension specialist in agricultural engineering, Ohio State University, says conservation order No. L-41 apparently does not affect the replacement of farm build ings destroyed after December 31, 1941, by fire, flood, storms, or other uncontrollable agencies. Off-farm primary storage for farm products, costing up to $5,000 also is exempt from restrictions under the order. Mr. Blauser says some farmers have had difficulty in obtaining from dealers materials for construction that is exempt from restrictions. Farmers should give these dealers the following statement when the goods are bought, “I am familiar with conservation order No. L-41. These materials will not be used in connection with restricted construc tion.” Conservation order No. L-79 for bids the sale of furnaces, oil burn ers, coal stokers, and many items of heating and plumbing equipment to be used for nonessential purposes. The order does not prevent the sale of plumbing supplies to be used for the installation of many kinds of farm machinery and equipment. Farmers should furnish dealers in plumbing equipment the following statement when material is purchas ed, “The following (listed) equip ment is necessary for the installa tion of one or more of the following items of farm machinery and equip ment: milking machine, water-cool ed engines, cream separator, milk coolers, butter making equipment, water pumps, drinking cups, water ing bowls, hay troughs, stock tanks, stock tank heaters, incubators, brooders, poultry waterers, and bee keepers supplies”.
