How You Work Can
Help Labor Shortage
CONTINUED from argt ~,

continued from first paRel
ment at the University of Della
ware.
Many farmers can save time in
the milk house, thinks Dunn. Hurry
ing through washing chores some
times results in high bacteria
counts and returned milk. A sound
er method is to have the hot and
cold water wash vats, washing
powder, brushes, rags and drying
racks arranged more conveniently
One way to reduce chore travel
IS is TO have the milkhouse as close to
the stables as sanitary regulations
Milford chronicle., 1951-05-11

permit. Another is to provide cross
alleys and additional doors which
VIII do away with back-trackilg in
chores.
Dunn has offered to help interest
ed farmers analyze their working
methods and try to find ways of
simplifying and saving labor. Just
call your county agricultural agent.
Tell him you would like to make
labor-saving changes in your dairy
set-up, and he will contact MIR.
