Food Production Is Mainigined
| By Family With Wife Proves Excellent Manager
Times Special FARMINGTON, Mo., ‘June 21.—“Head man” of a highly suc--cessful 125-acre dairy farm near here is 34-year-old Mrs. Roy Berghaus n” and “field hands” are her four daughters,
—and her “handy whose ages run from 3 years to 9.
About a year ago, Mrs. Berghaus’ husband joined the navy “Seabees” and soon was off to help build fighter bases some-
where in the South Pacific. Mrs. Berghaus was determined to carry on the home front and keep the farm going, although actually she didn’t know much about farming. There was a farm labor shortage, so no hired help was available. And to top it off, the Berghaus’ fifth child, Roy Jr., was on the way and doctors warned Mrs. Berghaus against doing too much in the month before his expected birth. = Mrs. Berghaus and her little girls not only maintained the farm’s food production for 1942, but increased it and are now
forging ahead' on an expanded:
program for 1943. In addition, Mrs. Berghaus had her baby and carried on her duties as housewife apd mother. How they did it is a saga of American determination, patriotic spirit and freedom from fear of hard work. Not being farm-wise as she might have wished, the first thing Mrs. Berghaus did was to ask advice of Farm Security Administration Supervisor Richard T. Bartlett. He helped her plan the work, told her how much stock to raise and what to grow. Roy’s tractor was too heavy for her, and other equipment was too old to be useful. So Supervisor Bartlett helped her to buy a “ladies’ model” tractor and other equipment light enough for her to operate. Neighbors were helpful, but they had their own work to do and couldn’t spare much time for Mrs. Berghaus’ problems. She started her farming venture with seven producing cows and a heifer to freshen, and the previous year’s calf stock. A purebred Duroc sow and a gilt were the basis of the swine development program. . There were 100 laying hens; tended by Mary Faith, the 9-year-old daughter, who was to be Mrs. Berghaus’ “foreman.” To feed this much stock, Mrs. Berghaus planted 15 acres to oats and seven acres to Sudan grass and peas for hay. Five acres went to wheat, five more to Sudan grass and the rest of the 85 tillable acres became lespedeza pasture. Sowing and cultivating the crops took plenty of work, but beyond that presented few diffi-
- hay, with daughters Carol, 8, and
Will to Serve;
culties. A neighbor drilled 15 acres of oats after Mrs. Berghaus plowed the land with her light tractor. Except for that they had no outside help. Mary Faith learned to operate the tractor and helped out each day after school. She helped with the milking, too. ‘The hay harvest was a family job. Mary Faith rode the mower and Mrs. Berghaus pitched the
Sue, 6, tramping it down. Judy, only 3, couldn’t help much, but she did drive the cows in from pasture. This year a cow has been added to the herd and two more heifers freshened this spring. The rest of the heifer calves were saved and will increase production in coming years. In 1942, $295 worth of beef bull calves were sold, and the 1943 buil crop will pay operating expenses. In addition to hogs killed for family use, fattened porkers were sent to market and two were saved to ‘produce litters this year. The flock of laying hens has almost been tripled. “Altogether, I suppose it wasn’t a bad summer’s work,” she says, “but, with Daddy overseas, the girls and I will do our bit. We've got to lick this thing, you know, and everyone, no matter how small, is needed to do his part.” .
