Cost Considerations
Rural families spend proportion
ately less than urban families for
housing. Cash money is competed
for by many UNNECESSARILY the
production materials and imple-
ments have a high priority on the
purse. AS yet rural families have
not placed enough importance on
the productive capacity of the house,
so new building, repairs, or additions
have to come with "good times"
You can attain quality housing at
less cost than your city cousins. The
site cost doesn't exist. Rural build
ing, by and large, is done with local
help. The mechanical ability of the
men has been developed in machin-
cry repair and equipment construc-
ton. This same ability can be used
to good advantage in building much
of the house.

by starting from scratch with the
analysis of what you need and want,
or by adapting ready made plans to
your specific circumstances. The
acid test of your success in planning
can be made by being able to answer
the following questions in the affir-
native:
I. Will the units earning capacity
build and maintain this much house

2. Does the home contribute to
farm or ranch needs?
3. Is the house adapted to our
