BUDGETS FOR
FARM FAMILY
Home Management and Home
Production Aid in Savings
for Farm Improvement
GARDENS, SEWING HELP

In these days when there are so
many demands upon the farm
family purse, Miss Louise Whit
comb, home management specialist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, says it pays the
farm household to spare every dol
lar it can by good management
and more home production. When
some of the savings are used for
improving the farm, a higher farm
income usually results. And high
er farm incomes mean more funds
for better family living.
Miss Whitcomb reports that
some of the gardens on which ac-
counts were kept by homemakers
last year were found to be worth
from $3.50 to $3.50 to the family
budget. In spite of the work in
volved, there are not many places
on the farm where that money
could have been earned more cas-
ily." Many homemakers do not
realize what savings can be made
by home sewing. Perhaps next to
food, sewing is one of the best
means of cash sparing to be found
in modern home production. Sew
ing is especially helpful in families
made up largely of women, girls
and young children. OF course, the
ability of the homemaker and her
skill in handling materials has to
be considered. And one would not
expect a woman doing a lot of out
side work to have the time to de-
vote to a great deal of sewing.
One homemaker in talking with
Miss Whitcomb reported making
all the underwear for herself and
two small girls at a saving of over
$40. This particular woman, hav-
ing family of nine to cook for,
finds it impossible to make dresses
for herself and the girls, although
she feels it would be a saving if
she had the time. Another home
maker reported making cotton
dresses as well as underwear for
herself, two girls and a small boy.
She estimated a saving of S27 be-
cause of this work. Both of these
women agreed that the money saw
ed wasn't the whole story. They
feel that the garments made at
home are superior in quality and
workmanship when compared with
some ready-made clothing.
