100 Federal workers engaged in the work.
there are nearly $4,000 local leaders carrying
ON the work after instruction by the Govern

very definite change in attitude toward the
extension workers is found through the shift
from the half-sneering question of the first
years of the work, What new farm home prob

question, What shall we do to solve these
problems?"
Better nutrition for the entire family and
for the babies on the farm-in particular better
clothing and general all-around betterment OF
the family Me-have already resulted through
this work. In addition, new sources Of revenue
have been opened up in the markets for home
canned vegetables, better and more poultry
products, from time immemorial the farm wife's

sale Of products Of freside industries.
