To Help Farmers
BY d'Alessio

Modern farming requires more
and greater skills than almost any
other occupation, and this applies
to the financial as we'll as other
sides of farming, says F. S. Dal-
ashmutt, Extension economist at
Ohio State University, inviting at
tention to a publication recently
issued by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, called Managing
Farm Finances"
Farmers must not only be ex-
pert in growing crops and raising
livestock-but must also know
how to handle the problems of the
business side of farming, he points
out.
Every year, Mr.. Delashmutt
adds, with farmers capital invest
ments growing and production
costs rising, it becomes increas-
ingly important to establish each
farms operation on a sound finan-
cial basis. Major points of good
financial management on farms, he
says, are outlined in this publica-
tion.
Suggesting things to look for in
investing money, this new booklet
also gives tips on buying a farm

night. Two weeks ago, San

claims DR.. Elaine Knowles Wea-

Gently made a study of typical
housekeeping methods.
DR.. Weaver, who checked clean
ing habits in a typical group of
homes over a four month period,
finds that Mrs. America is spend
ing too much time at her cleaning
job and does too many hard jobs
by hand.
Made at the request of the
manufacturers of Eureka vacuum
cleaners, the study showed that
women using average methods Of
cleaning, including old vacuum
equipment, spend 5 hours and Al
minutes a week at their cleaning
tasks; remove an average of four
fifths of a pound of dirt from the
home weekly and spend rs per
cent of their time on jobs requir-
ing hard work with manual tools
such as brooms, wet cloths, mops
and dust cloths. Even with all her
hard work, she only removes one
third of the dirt possible to re-
move with modern electrical equip
ment - two thirds of the dirt
merely gets pushed from place to
place in the house; thus increas-
ing the amount of work to be done
at the next cleaning.
When DR.. Weaver introduced a
modern Complete Home Cleaning
System, consisting of an upright
vacuum cleaner in combination
with a tank-type cleaner with at
tachments, the women were able to
cut their cleaning time SO per
cent; cut their hard youth-robbing
jobs by over rs per cent and re-
move a pound and three-quarters
of dirt from their homes weekly
almost three times as much as
with old methods.
Best result of the test for the
husband harried housewives who
participated in the test was proof
that Spring and other seasonal
housekeeping can practically be
if papa will come
through with modern equipment.
