Building During War Times and Lumber Costs Question

The piece asks how much more lumber buyers can exchange for farm products and how much money remains, posing two main questions about building a pew house barn or any Pesaorequente during war and patriotism. It cites Secretary McAdoo letter to Samuel Gompers and editorials in Successful Farming and the Breeders Gazette, urging correction of false impressions about building prohibitions.

Farm Building Plans Backed By War Economy Evidence

The letter defends farm building during wartime, arguing building supports health, storage, and essential business.

Build Now for Lumber Needs After the War

The author urges immediate construction on homes barns and improvements to protect grain and livestock. With lumber prices rising yet building room continuing, now is the time to invest in building materials. The piece compares postwar shortages and notes modest price rises for lumber and shingles versus larger jumps for drugs and cloths. It emphasizes that more hay and crops will fund building.
