Wives of Farmers
Labor Long With
Poor tquipment
DURHAM, N. H., April 8—The sug
gestion that farm women spend more
time in making of pies, cakes and of
cookies than their food value justifies,
is made by workers of the state farm
extension farm service. These work
ers, with the aid of charts kept by
representative farmer's wives, have
figured that the average farm woman
in this stale pe:forms nearly 4,000
hours of labor a year, in effect giving
her an eleven-hour day, including Sun
days and holidays.
The extension workers are trying to
work out some means of reducing this
burden. A campaign for better foot
selection is being made in view of the
fact that the charts show an average
of four hours a day spent in food pre
parations. The inconvenience of ar_
rangement of the kitchen and poor
equipment is found to be an import
ant factor in the situation.
The time spent on sewing, the work
ers say, can be reduced by education
jin equipment and methods. Better I
i washing equipment will help in laun
j dry work.
The extension service heard of a
: farmer who was forced to do the fam
ily washing because his wife was ill. |
She had done her laundry work for 27 j
years with inadequate equipment, but j
; at the end of two weeks the farmer
| bought a washing machine.
Mrs. James Bogart has been con
fined to her home the past few days
with an attack of appendicitis.
