SEE INCREASE IN PRODUCTION DAIRY PRODUCT Improved Feed Situation, Higher Prices Forecast Increase Washington, Jan. 24— increased production of dairy products is in prospect in view of the improved teed situation and the highest December butter and cheese prices since 1929. according to the bureau 01' agricultural economies. Hutter and cheese prices have about doubled from the low point of the depression but are not high compared with the general level of commodity prices. Butter prices in ’ December were about the same as pre war and cheese somewhat ahove pre-war, but the general avrage of whoiesale commodity prices was 118 percent of pre-war. The farm price of butterfat in December was the highest in rela tion to feed grains since the summer of 1933. Prices of butterfat are also high in relation to prices of by product feeds and hay. These prices rela “unships are favorable for dairy production. But farm prices of butterfat are still low in relation to beef cattle and hogs, and this, says the bureau, will tend to restrict dairy production in areas where shifts are most easily made from dairy to beef cattle and hogs. Milk production per cow on January 1 was about 6 percent greater than on January 1, 1935, and more than offset a decrease in number ot cows. Total milk production was about 3 percent greater than on the same date last year. INCREASED HOG SLAUGHTER SEEN Latest Pig Crop Report Indicates Much Higher Production WashiuKTSn, Jan. 24— An increase in hog slaughter next summer and the following winter is indicated by the latest pig crop report of the bureau of agricultural economics. The 1935 fall pig crop was 37 percent ~rger than /le 1934 fall crop, and a 21 percent increase m the number of sows to farrow next spring is reported. Most of last fall’s crop will be marketed next summer, and the crop next spring will Iv marketed the following winter. On the basis of these figures, the downtrend in hog production has been checked and increasing slaughter supplies of hogs are likely during the next 12 months at least. Germany also is expanding hog

production, attys the bureau’s current report on world bog and pork prospects. There were 2 percent fewer hogs In Germany in early December than a year earlier, but the number of bred sows on hand , was 11 percent larger, and there was an Increase of 5 percent in the number of pigs under two months of age. Lar* exports from the Danube , Basin have been relatively large during the past year, with exports in November, at 6,800,000 pounds, about equal to the reduced exports from the United States in that 1 month. Most of the exports from 1 Hungary to Germany amt Czechoslovakia. In recent months Hungary has also exported many live ’ hogs and hog carcasses to Central European countries. REFfiIGEfIATOR FACTS GIVEN Comparison Os Mechanical And Ice Refrigerators Listed

vyashington, Jan. 24 - A good refrigerator with 6 cubic feet of food space, in a room at 90 degrees, uses about 50 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy a month, or 900 pounds of ice, or 12 gallons of kerosene, or 1,800 cubic feet of gas. These are figures from the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. Mechanical refrigerators main- ’ tained an average temperature of 43 degrees and ice refrigerators an average 53 degrees. Because of difference in design, both mechanical and ice refrigerators kept the space for milk at about 46 degrees. These temperatures will be lower if rooms are cooler. For the greater part of the year, home kitchen temperatures are lower than those in the testing laboratory. 3.1 the other hand, the home refrigerator is filled with food, increasing the gas, current, or ice used. Because room temperatures vary, as well as the quantity of ice used. and the times a refrigerator is opened, e ’act comparisons cannot be made. But for practical purposes the housewife can compare the costs of operating the different types by figuring results of the Bureau s tests in terms of local rates and prices. o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Lafayette, Ind.—Purdue uuiverbity now has under construction a low-cost housing project—a "teat tube village”—designed to bring better homes within the financial means of the average wage earner. Each of the houses comprising the first unit of this building program is limited in cost to $5,000 and is designed for a family of four. University faculty members and their families will occupy the homes which are of various types of material and construction in order to give sponsors of the project a comparative idea of the value of different types of construction. Research has shown that approximately two-thirds of the families in United States have incomes of less than $2,000. Wage earners in this class cannot afford to own or rent homes costing more than $5,000. It is to meet the needs of this ! class uiat Purdue has sponsored i the housing project which is under - direction of Frank Watson. Various Materials Used One home, contracted tor at $4,997, is of reinforced concrete. An-

other will be of wood frame and stucco, to be built at >a final cost of $4,681. Another type estimated to cost. $4,236, will be of pre-fabri-cated plywood units, while several will be of insulated all-steel con struction. Two channels offer possibility ot substantial reductions in future building costs. Experiments now underway in respect to pre-fabri-cated houses may pnng costs of materials down considerably. This type of house also lessens the amount of labor required for construction an should effect an economy in respect to the comparatively high item of labor. Most of the designs submitted tor the Purdue project specify a combined living room and dining room. All plans include garage and several have air conditioning provisions. Nine houses comprise the first unit of the project which is being . built on a 143-acre tract adjacent to the campus. A central disposal plant will service the community, electric lines will be underground.

Mrs. Wolther recently discover ' ;ed that she could buy and use an electiac range as ecpnmoically as a gasoline stove during the. coming tour years, thus conserving Hie time and energy formerly requir-

1 deep well turn.sues the wat .r supply for the village. Test Endurance of Materials I In one sense, "the test tube village" will serve as a housing laboratory. Materials will be tested to ; determine their resistance to ■ weather. Various features of the ■ different architectural designs will . be subjected to the judgment ot ' the occupants as to their practical nature. Dr. E. C. Elliott, president of Purdue university, in commenting on the project said: "Only through scientific study can the majority of our people ever hope to be able to live iu houses that they want, houses they can afford to have, houses that will last.” The guiding principle of those directing the project has been to eliminate some of the luxuries, such as automatic stokers, separate dining room and other similar conveniences, in order to devqte that mc;;ey to insuring the basic soundness of construction.

t ed to operate a gasoline stove. ■ While not keeping home ac- ; counts at the ''me of her discovl ery. Mrs. Wolther had kept track I of fuel and repair bills on her gas- ■ ollne stove. In two years these ex penses amounted to about the price ■ of the electric range. Since the i maximum electrical rate from the power line, recently built to serve • the neighborhood, will be high dur i ing the next four years, it will covi er the cost ot operating the elec- ■ trie range at practically no extra • cost. Through her training m homemaking and home account projects, Mrs. Wolther was able to analyze the situation and realize that she could buy the electric range and save almost 50 percent on h«r operating expenses during the com- ! ing four years. In addition she figured that she could improve the use of her energy and time, since the •'Metric range require much ; less time and labor to operate, It is expected that the high mini-! ‘ mum current rate now being char ! ged to cover the cost of building I the power line will be reduced at: the end of four years. By that time the new sfove will be more than paid for and operating expenses are not expected to be mucn asove those of the gasoline stove. Had ft not been for her training in home management and account .work, she probably would not have I considered an electric range with in her means, Mrs. Wolther said I This is just one example of how ' thousands of women working on home economics projects in their \ counties are using their training to save money, make more efficient use of ihttir time and lighten their, work of homentaking
