'Where manure is stored as a solid a grade level concrete slab is usually consider- ed sufficient. However, when one considers the need to control the run-off that can occur from a pile of manure, the concrete pad may need to be enclosed with concrete walls to! contain any liquids..In order to facilitate the handling .of this manure, it may be further necessary 'to consider a small, separate storage unit for the liquid portion only. When considering the storage 'structure for liquid manure, a farmer has several choices. Es- sentially the storage structure bcomes a tank, and may be' — rectangular or circular 'in shape; built below grade level,. part- ially in the ground, or totally above grade; have a fully .rein- forced concrete top that will take tractors, trucks, loaded wagons, etc., or have a roof that will just keep snow and rain out of the tank — or have no top at all. Circular tanks are structurally the most efficient—the least wall area for volume enclosed, least use of steel reinforcing for wall strength. On the other hand rec- tangular tanks can be built by any contractor using regular straight - sided forms, while truly circular tanks require the use of circular forms which prac- tically limits this type of con struction to tower 'silo contractors (who may be hard to get at cer- tain times of the year),. Whether tanks should be below grade, partially below, or totally above depends on several factors: — the elevation of the ground - water level, the required , capacity of, any tank, and the type of manure to be stored. High ground - water levels- can create major, pressure problems for below grade tanks, as well as leakage into the tanks, thus reducing the effective capacity. Above - ground tanks, especially for larg- er volumes are usually 'less cost- ly per cubic foot of storage cap- acity -- but considerably more attention has to 'be paid to .the system used for, manure'agitation prior to removal from storage. Satisfactory agitation systems have been -developed for hog manure, in above - grade tanks, while this is still very much in ,the developmental stage 'for cattle manure. The matter of roofs for manure PERMANENT LIGHTWEIGHT FIREPROOF VERMIN. PROOF tanks is a big topic in itself, and will be dealt 'with in a subse- quent article. ' H. E.
