KITCHEN HEART
OF Home. SAYS
HOME AGENT
BY Betty Lou SpauIding,
Home Demonstration Agent

Your kitchen is the most i'm
portant room of your home, and
should therefore be the most
carefully planned. A convenient
kitchen doesn't just happen, yet
sometimes with simple changes
in arrangement of storage many
steps may be saved. Each year
homemakers in this very commun.
ity make major changes in their
kitchens. These are few of the
points they should consider as
they do so.
Plan ahead long enough to give
your kitchen plan time to "cook
and cool". Be sure you consider
best use of materials, labor, and
money. One good way to plan a
kitchen is to draw a scale model
of your room and scaled pieces
for each large piece of equipment.
Move these pieces around to find
the arrangement that best suits
your needs.
Consider all the activities that
go on in your kitchen and try
to plan room for them. Do you
can a great amount of food? Does
your family eat in the kitchen?
Will you wash and iron clothing
there? Do you need closet for
cleaning supplies? Would a place
to hang coats and hats help the
kitchen?
Work heights is point which
many forget to consider until the
first tired back results. Are you
tall or short? What height do
you like to work at best? Most
homemakers find they enjoy at
least one work surface lower than
the others as place to mix or
roll foods. This must be consid-
cred in the initial planning of a
kitchen.
On September 81 Miss Marie
Walters, Home Management Spec
ialist from Ohio State University
will be in the county to give fur
ther help in planning kitchens.
Any person wishing to take advan-
tage of the service given free by
your State College may contact the
Extension office, Oak Harbor.

EARLY sETTLEMEHTs

The Grand River valley from
Nelson Ledges, off U. S. highway
422 near Parlman, to Fairport,
where the river flows into Lake
Erie, provides some of Ohio's most
spectacular scenery.
AS early as 1854, the Erie In
dians had village at the mouth
of the Grand River where more
than 1000 warriors met for pow
WOW each summer. Before the
Revolutionary War Major Rogers
and his Rangers stopped at this
site en- route to Detroit, and Moses
Cleaveland's surveyors in 1896 ex-
plored this valley.
During the Glacial Period, the
Grand River valley and the Beaver
River valley was the major outlet
for the Great Lakes which drained
through the Ohio River valley.
This accounts, according to geol-
ogists, for the steep and high banks

Ordinary Farm Made
Model Test Plant
By Electricity

An experiment of interest to
all farmers has been going on for
the past seven years on farm
near Warren, Ohio, in Trumbull
County, to show how much in dol
lars and cents, and in the elimi-
nation Of back-breaking work
electricity can benefit the aver
age farmer.
This farm is one of 35,155 sup.
piled with electricity by Ohio
Edison Company and to which at,
tention is being called in connec-
ton with the national observance
of Farm Electrification Week. the
week Of August 26. Utilities
throughout the nation are spon
soring this activity to mark the
virtual completion Of the first
phase of farm electrification. that
of bringing electricity to all the
farms in the nation.
The results? In seven years.
electricity on this average farm
has increased by more than 81
per cent the money earned per
hour of productive labor.
No dude ranch affair. the con-
tinuing experiment is being car
ried out under conditions identi-
cal to those faced by the average
farmer. The down-to-earth farm
experiment was initiated by Wes-
tinghoLSe Electric Corporation in
cooperation with Ohio Edison Co.
When the experiment began. the
researchers looked for a not-above
average farm that as yet didn't
have electricity and which would
serve as a testing ground. The
Joseph Motz farm was finally Sc
lected as the most likely spot
Primarily dairy farm, the
Motz place is oparated by Joseph
Motz and his 27-year-old son Bob
In 1914 when the experiment be-
gan, the farm had 140 acres and
required total of $500 hours
of labor by the two men.
AS for dollars and cents bene-
fits. in 1914 the Motz farm return
ed to the farmer CSC for each
hour he put into various produc-
tive enterprises. By 1850 this re-
turn had increased to SLIT for
each hour of work.
One of the first things Mr.. MotZ
bought and installed was an cleo
tric water pumping system. For
merly the Motz family had water
ed their cows by hand during the
five winter months the animals
were in the barn. After the in
stallation of water system, with
a continuous supply of water in
individual cups before the cows,
the dairy milk production of the
IL COWS increased by more than
2 1/2%o, while IT'S man-hours of
water-carrying were eliminated
entirely.
