SURVEY CONCLUDED
ON FARM HOUSING
Influence Of Buildings on Per.
manency of Tenure
Is Pointed Out.
The character of housing on a farm

The character OF housing on a farm
exerts a powerful influence on per-
manency Of tenure, the profits derived
from the farm and in making fer q
satisfied and contented farm population,
it is pointed out by Margaret Coffin
in a new publication on Housing Con-
ditions in Relation to Farm Labor
Turnover" which has just been released
by the Experiment Station Of the Uni
versity of Maryland.
In securing records and data for the
bulletin Miss Coffin made survey Of
1000 farm homes in five Maryland
counties representing the various sec
ticns of the State. These were Kent
and Somerset counties on the Eastern
Shore st. Marys County in Southern
Maryland, Carroll County in the
north-central portion and Washington
County in the western part.
In making the survey the author
made notes of everything from the
presence or absence Of screens in the
windows and paint on the roof to the
distance the house was located from
the nearest physician and railroad sta
ton. In SO doing she discovered that
although average housing conditions
on Maryland farms are quite salts
factory and the standards relatively
good, there Is small percentage of
hcmes with conditions far below the
standard that should be maintained if
good farmers and good farm labor is to
be attracted to and held on the farm.
The survey showed that length of
tenure on the farm as a rule had a
direct relation to the value and con-
Sequently the character Of the house.
Sixty-nine tenant houses of the poor
class had been occupied less than one
year, while 66 tenant houses. of the
better type had been occupied 10 years
or longer.
The average distance from a store of
the farm houses studied was l3 miles;
an elementary school, 1.8 miles; a
church, 2.5 miles; physician. 3.4
miles; the village, As miles; a bank,
"A miles, and a railroad station, 48
miles. OF the farms surveyed 70 had
furnaces, 36 had gas. 689 had auto
mobiles, 1873, electricity: l60, complete
plumbing, and $50, telephones.

SPEAKER PREDICTS
new TYPE HOME
More Typically American Brand
Of Architecture Is
Foreseen.

The emergence of more typically
American home-a national type Of
architecture-was foreseen by Fermor
S. Cannon, president Of the Railroad
mems Savings and Building Association
OF Indianapolis, in an address before
the seventh district conference of the
United States Building and Loan
League at Chicago.
Mr.. Cannon, home finance execu-
tive with architectural training, ex-
planned that up to now the background
OF European ancestry had Influenced
choices Of home architecture, but today
with the welding into a national con-
seriousness of families Of all backgrounds
the national type is finally developing.
"A greater skill is shown in building
homes today than at any period in our
history" he said. Talk about the good
old days when they built such wonder
ful homes is more sentimental than
accurate in the light Of the exceptional
skill and science which is applicable
for the first time to home planning and
construction.
I'VE have to go slow on these ultra
modern homes of unusual materials
which are being pictured at present.
They may well be the kind of homes
which will form the basis Of the chief
mortgage lending in years to come, but
we want to find out first whether or
not people really like this kind of
house."

ARCHITECTS BEGIN
WORLD ART STUDY
Ely Jacques Kahn Of New
York Appointed to Con-
duct Survey.

Supported by a $4,000 grant from
the Carnegie Corporation, the Amer
lean Institute of Architects has under
taken an international survey OF indus
trial art progress, it was announced by
Charles Butler of New York, chairman
of the Institutes Committee on Eou-
cation. today.
Beginning with design problems as
anplied to industry in the United States
and Europe, the study may eventually
lead to the Orient, Mr.. Butler ex-
plained. He emphasized the necessity
for accurate knowledge of existing craft
pra ctices, academic as well as indus
trial. in order that future prospects
may be charted.
Elv JACQUES Kahn of New York.
chairman of the Institutes Committee
on Allied Arts and director OF the archl-
lecture department of the Beaux Arts
Institute of Design, has been appointed
to conduct the survey. Mr.. Kahn will
travel extensively. seeking. data from
leading industrialiStS and educators
both in this country and abroad.
The Carnegie Corporations appro-
priation will cover the costs of the
study and the publication Of the re-
suits. The $4,000 fund was voted after
consultation with members of the insti-
tute.
1T is urgent" says Mr.. Butler, "that
we have a survey of existing condl-
tions and of the general problem OF
design as applied to industry, the rela-
ton of design as it is now taught in
our schools to actual practice and the
reactions of men in industries to de-
signers as they are trained at present.
For some time there has been dis
cussion of training in the allied and
industrial arts and of the fairly gen.
eral condition that most leaders in
these arts are either foreign born or
foreign trained The question also has
arisen as to the possible advisability
of including in the curriculum of the
schools of architecture in this country
training in these allied arts"
A four-point program has been draft
ed tentatively by Mr.. Kahn, mainly as
a guide to further his Investigations He
points out. however, that an inquiry
such as the one on which he has en-
barked, should avoid deductions at the
outset
Mr.. Kahn's four points embrace craft
training in the schools, cooperation of
manufacturers, originality of product
among the studios and the status of
museums.

LUMBER PRODUCTION
SHOWS HEAVY DECLINE
1882 Figure $500, ,OOO,O 900 Feet,
Compared With SO, $50, ,O32 900
in 1929, Says Census Bureau.

Lumber production in 1882 was ap-
proximately 5O0,OO00OO feet, as indi-
Gated by preliminary report of identical
mills just released by the United States
Census Bureau. This compares with
36,886 032, 900 feet in 1929. The reports
of SOB identical large mills, representing
in 1881 52.2 per cent of the lumber pro-
duction of the country show production
in 1882 Ala per cent below that of
1881. Production In 1881 was 1882
643.000 feet, as reported by the Census
Bureau.
Thep ercentage Of decrease in 1892
gives production of 9682 10000 feet.
but the Census Bureau calls attention to
the fact that it is likely the per cent of
decrease In the total production of the
country was somewhat larger than
shown by the identical mills covered by
this report, since larger proportion Of
the small mills than of the large ones
were idle in 1882, and it is probable
that their cut declined more.
