Step Saving Methods Lighten Kitchen Labor Small Changes Often Show Striking Results Sl'KP-SAVlNG methods for xhf farm, kitchen arc being stressed this year in home planning activities through- on't the South.

"Phoughtfiil farm home-makers, home demt)Mstration agents and university speciahsts in home management have jointly tackled this problem.

This is logical since the left hand usually deposits utensils while the right hand does the work. Studies show that when the cabinet, or in some cases a cupboard with a table beiK*ath, is directly to the left of the sink, much less effort is re quired and work is expedited. “Assembly Lin«” Established The chief step-saving systems hinge upon using refrigerator anti 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. ^rhe kitchen table should be located iis nearly central <ns possible from refrig erator, sink, cabinet and stove. The ta ble should never be 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 way, a day’s supply of water can stored at one time. Small Changes, Big Results Home Demonstration Agents have constantly found that very little changes often accomplish surprising results. In one Marylantl 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 her kitchen work. I'hese small changes cut work in this farm kitchen almost in half. Miss Maude E. Wallace, Virginia Home Demonstration Agent in report ing on the wt)rk completed in 1935, tells specifically of 4,023 kitchens made more convenient; 409 sinks installed; 323 kitchens with naming water in stalled. In all, there were 15,750 women enrolled ui home improvement dejnon- stration clubs in Virginia at the begin-' ning of this year. At the University of Kentucky, 150 girls enrolled in the college or agricul ture are required to spend six weeks during their senior year in the Univer sity H ome Management house where they are given intensive practice in keep ing a home, particularly in problems of the. home kitchen. Experinwntal cwik- ery not only deals with problems of diet and nutrition, but also with moii- ern stefvsaving kit chen practices. Kentucky University girls are trained in kitchen-craft. be HIOHBST- GRADES • AICIAY YARN COIP. . DcpiS.F 9* N. ftk St. PMIa.. Pa.. In Ten n e s s e e, home management specialists of the ex tension service thi.s year hope to reach 50,000 fariTi homes in their improve ment projects—last year the total reach ed was 34,801. Running Water Essential In all kitchen improvement projects, the installation of running water is given consideration. In otjc demo 1st ration 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 $100. Miss Lillian L. Keller. University of Tennessee Extension Specialist, explains that many kitchens can be made more comfortable by putting in an extra w'in- dow and obtaining better ventilation. Two windows provided by putting the lower sash of a long narrow window on a level with the upper sash will give much better light and ventilation.
