Step Saving Methods Lighten Kitchen Labor
Small Changes Often Show Striking Results
STF'P-SAVINCt methods for the farm
kitchen are being stressed this year
in home planning activities through
out the South. The objective sought is
to cut in half, the number of steps taken
by the average women in preparing the
three daily meals for the family.
Thoughtful farm home-makers, home
demonstration agents and university
specialists in home management have
jointly tackled this problem. Already
they have discovered that there are
plenty of kitchens where the mere re
arrangement of equipment will work
wonders in saving steps and eliminating

lost motion.
The first step is to place equipment
so that work progresses from right to
left. Movements are to the left. This
is logical since the left hand usually
deposits utensils while the right ham!
does the work. Studies show that when
the cabinet, or in some cases a cupboard
with a table beneath, is directly to the
left of the sink, much less effort is re
quired and work is expedited.
“Assembly Line" Established
The chief step-saving systems hinge
upon using refrigerator and sink as the
base. It is from this point that prepara
tion of food starts. The kitchen cabinet
is the next point most frequently visited
and the stove is the fourth point of con
tact.
The kitchen table should be located
as nearly central as
possible from refrig
erator, sink, cabinet
and stove. The ta
ble should never he
placed in sequence
from refrigerator to
stove.
In many farm
kitchens where run
ning water is not
available, it has been
found a great
convenience to use
a reservoir such as
an old oil or gas
drum, or a large
size keg with a tap
attached. In this
w'av, a day’s supply of water can be
stored at one time.
Small Changes, Big Results
Home Demonstration Agents have
constantly found that very little changes
often accomplish surprising results. In
one Mary lain! home, a sink and hand
pump were moved from the back porch
into the kitchen and a capacious cab
inet was built across one side of the
room to just the right height for the
comfort of the housewife while doing

M iss Maude E. Wallace, Virginia
Home Demonstration Agent in report
ing on the work completed in 1935,
tells specifically of 4,023 kitchens made
more convenient; 4.09 sinks installed;
323 kitchens with running water in
stalled. In all, there were 15,750 women
enrolled m home improvement demon
stration clubs in Virginia at the begin
ning of this year.
At the University of Kentucky, 150
girls enrolled in the college of agricul
ture are required to spend six weeks
during their senior year in the Univer

they are given intensive practice in keep

Running Water Essential
In all kitchen improvement projects,
the installation of running water is given
consideration. In one demonstration sys
tem a simple force pump lifts the water
over 20 feet from a spring 180 feet dis
tant and then forces it into a tank 10
feet above in the attic. The complete
cost for the installation of this system
was less than SIOO.
M iss Lillian E. Keller. University of
Tennessee Extension Specialist, explains
that many kitchens can be made more
comfortable by putting in an extra win
dow and obtaining better ventilation.
Two windows provided by putting the
lower sash of a long narrow window on
a level with the upper sasli will give
much better light and ventilation.
