Thus, while the county home i agents were given lattitude to I cope with current problems, they [were encouraged not to lose sight I of the fundamental aspect of | home demonstration work, said | Dr. Jane S. McKimmon, state home agent at State College. The long time program looks to the development of a comfortable, livable home where farm ! life may bring satisfaction and where the child may find security, and the development of a vitalized rural community where men, | women and children come together for planned work, recreation, and community development. During the past year, said Dr. j McKimmon in her annual report the home demonstration program I faced a number of serious pro] blems? such as, low average farm incomes, inadequate food and feed production, the fact that only 53 of the counties have full (time home agents, and insufficient funds to carry on the work ! adequately over the entire State. A special effort was made to (encourage the production of adejquate foods to supply an attracj tive variety of dishes for the [menu and to protect the family [health with a balanced diet. Farm and home agents urged more gardens, poultry, cows and meat animals. Food Supply Budgeted. The food requirements of each family were ascertained on a budget plan. Each family was then urged to produce at least enough food to meet this budget and, if possible, to grow a surplus for j conserving and marketing. Sales j of home grown food added to the family cash income in many cases. Gardens supplied the bulk of the home produced food. Reports listed 73,140 families growing gardens from which they got fresh vegetables for immediate consumption and for canning. However, the number of containers filled with fruits and vegetables last year was only 7,124,000 as compared with 11,500,000 in 1933. Dr. McKimmon remarked that as times grow better, there is usually a downward swing in the canning curve. Women have money to buy part of their canned goods, she said, and hence feel less need to spend much of their summer time in the conservation of home grown foods. The time thus released from - ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as Administrator of the estate of Arthur F. Jones, deceased, late of Brunswick County, N.

I NOT All accounts du< prior to April 15tl Mr. R. W. Davis, / ment. Watson's PI I- - - ? THE STATE I I food conservation is available forji more agreeable work, recreation, j > or for cooperation projects with J the family or the community, she { added. "It is beetter for the wo- i men not to spend too much time c canning. I The economic situation also I stimulated the production of poultry, Dr. McKimmon pointed out, s both to provide a balanced diet ( and to increase the family in- j come. Poultry sales though the i curb markets and special ship- j jments amounted to over $145,000 t j last year. j The family cow also furnished j I a big part of the family's nutrijtional needs, and the aim of the i jhome demonstration program is j I to see each rural family with at j least one cow. as a result of the j program last year, 650 families j ] were assisted in butter and cheese ] making, and 4,450 families were j reported feeding their children ac- j cording to the recommendations, ( which include a quart of milk ; per day to each child. The 27 home demonstration ] curb markets operated last year sold a total of $484,465 worth of {produce, a gain of $79,912 over i the preceding year. The bulk of ( the goods consisted of vegetables, fruits, butter, meats, cakes, flowers. j Rural women were also helped | to market their surplus foods in cooperative shipments to hotels, colleges, and other institutions, and in carlot shipments to distant markets. Cooperative shipments, for example, may be stimulated jin a certain community by encouraging the women to raise ; one type of poultry and to use a standardized method of killing, ; dressing, and packing. Some phases of clothing work was carried on in all the counties which were organized for home demonstration work, and 17 counties had clothing for their major club projects. Demonstrations in clothing projects were I especially popular at a time when ; i families had to economize, Dr.! 'McKimmon pointed out. I The work with clothing includes studies of how to adapt patterns {and clothes to the individual, rej modeling old clothes, making attractive garments from inexpensive material, selecting colors and . {materials to harmonize well toj gether. The ultimate goal of the home ; j management and furnishing pro- j I (rra m is that tha farm home shall ; be managed upon a sound busi! ness basis, cooperatively with the i jfarm enterprise; that the home!; ! shall be convenient, efficient, and attractive; and that relationj ships within the family group .shall be correspondingly improv! ed. Dr. McKimmon reported that 8,427 farm families were satisfied last year in making adjustments to gain a more satisfactory standard of living; 2,907 families followed the recommendations given for economical and efficient buying for the home. Work toward better homes also included the making and caring for home-made supplies and household equipment. Families [Were assisted not only to make things for their own use, but to make various articles for sale. * Little nick-nacks, easily made in spare time, added to the family cash income. Rural Housing Survey The rural housing survey con| ducted early last year brought | out the need for sweeping imjprovements on most of the rural i homes. Facts gathered in the survey were useful in planning the Federal Housing Administration program for rural communities. | Most of the homes were in | need of repairs, painting, adequate lighting, water systems, heatling systems, better sanitation and I in many cases more rooms. In addition to the work contemplated through the FHA, the [home demonstration club women secured some aid from the ERA I 1 urcrcH thp imnrovement i anu ojov 1 i of homes wherever possible without outside financial assisitance. The beautification of the home land its grounds and the development of recreational facilities for rural families is another phase of the home demonstration program which is considered important to the ultimate well-being of farm people. "Instead of less emphasis being placed on the home beautification program in times of stress," said Dr. McKimmon. "The increased [number of calls for aid in this work shows that beautification projects help to relieve the tension." | Many of the club women made - ICE e the undersigned 1 1935 are given to Vttorney, for settle* _ larmacy Co.

The 4H n dub girls also worked hard on w jeautification projects. Recreation v Although there is no extension! t specialist in recreation, Miss Ruth j 0 Current, specialist with 4H club s *irls, carried on a great deal of c ecreational work, such as hold- e ng for the development of recrea- t :ional leaders and supervising or- y janized play at various gather- a ngs of young people. o The home demonstration clubs t ire also encouraged play at var- 1 ous gatherings of young people, t The home demonstration clubs s ire also encouraged to find a r place for light entertainment and t recreation in their monthly meet- c ings. Rural people, especially, are c in need of more social gatherings s and neighborhood activities, Dr. r McKimmon said. c Summing up the status of the ] f Pome demonstration work, Dr. j \ McKimmon reported that 53 of f the counties were organized for j ? the work with whole time white agents and eight counties had j whole time Negro agents. 1 In addition, 38 part time white i t agents and seven part time Negro i agents served from four to six i ? months of the year. This made a 11 total of 90 counties which were I' reached by home demonstration 1 work during the year. 1 The home demonstration club t is the unit through which the . work is carried on. The home agents in the counties supervise the work, organize new clubs, and give their help in any way possible, but local club leaders are encouraged to carry on many of 1 the local activities.
