Most Farm Families Want

1-Story Home With Basement Slipcovers

If farmhouses of the future in Indiana and other |

North Central States are built the way families there say

they want them, the most

commonly styled will be one |

story and basement and have five to seven rooms, a sloping roof, and one or more porches. Results of a survey in which nearly 900 farm families

have spoken for the 2,270,000 farm families in their

part of the country have

just been published in a report “Farm Family Housing Needs

and Preferences in the North .

Central Region,” published by the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa. The survey, similar to those " In three other regions, will provide altogether the first national study of the kind on farm housing ever assembled. The surveys have been made joint- * ly by the U. 8. Agriculture Department’s Bureau of Human - Nutrition and Home Economics and 29 state agricultural experiment stations. When the survey was made, one in eight of the farm fam{lies in the North Central States were planning to build new houses in the next five years.

“These families,” says the re- |

port, “need advice, and the peo-

ple from whom they will get it —-architects, engineers, builders, contractors, lumber dealers, and educators—need to

know more about the kinds of |

houses farm families need and want.”

Findings Findings from the survey include: Only one family in four is now

living in a one-story house in this area, but two-thirds of the families prefer this type. Most families who do like a second story make a special point of wanting one or more bedrooms on the first floor. Among those who prefer a two-story house, 75 per cent want the bathroom downstairs if there is no lavatory there. Half of the families want both a dining room and space for serving meals in the kitchen. At present about one farmhouse in three provides this. A separate

dining room is a popular fea-

| ture. Three-fourths of the fam- |

! ilies would like to have one. Less than half of the families questioned would want an attic "in a new house and most of these would want it for storage only. Stressing the importance of planning farmhouses to fit in with the whole farm enterprise, the report shows that families need houses that provide good work space and storage to suit their particular activities.

Please write about this.” It sounds as though Mrs, W. had made a good guess, but her husband should have tests to see if the blood vessels in his legs really are “damaged and “unable to do their job satis- ~. factorily. As to the smoking part, tobacco is known to be wSarmful in most kinds of blood vessel disease and it is probably safe to conclude that it isn't doing any good in this instance.

general heath, or change to a warmer climate. * But there are also two Iimportant diseases which have to be considered and which, if found, requiré treatment. One of these is Buerger's disease which is an inflammation of the lining of the arteries and veins, generally in the feet and legs. This is a really serious condi-

As examples, about 50 per cent of the families questioned prepare eggs for market in the house. Fifty per cent have milk pails, milk strainers, or meat saws to store in the house. About 75 per cent want some space provided in the house for farm business, though most families—60 per cent—think a desk adequate for this and do not want a separate room. The 12 states included in the North Central survey are: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, | Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin,
