FARM HOUSES IN STATE
NEEDING IMPROVEMENTS
Better Housing Campaign For
Rural Communities Started

A better housing campaign for
Maryland's rural communities is being
promulgated.
The home improvement program in
the counties is to be similar to that
for the cities and towns and will be
directed by o. R. Hillman, of the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
Arthur E. Hungerford, associate
housing director for Maryland, said
Friday night that county agents, vo-
cational teachers and Farm Bureau
officials had been asked to cooperate.
"Only about 60 percent of the farm
homes in Maryland are listed as be-
ing in good condition." Hungerford
said.
"Others are in a state of repair
varying from fair to definitely poor.
Farm buildings are depreciating at an
increasing rate each season they are
neglected.
"a comparatively small expenditure
now will save a much larger cost in
the future.
"Two-thirds of Maryland's farm
houses have no facilities for water
except by carrying it in. Only Is per-
cent have piped hot water and bath
tubs. Less than four and one-half per-
cent have septic tanks for disposal of
household waste.
"These and many other repairs and
improvements may be had at low
cost, and this campaign is to interest
farm owners in having these improve
ments made and to show them how
they can be secured now"
