Labor Savers on
Farms in Demand
As Result of Tour
Many new labor saving devices
and methods of simplylng farm
and home tasks will make their
appearance in Oregon rural com
munities within the next, few
months, judging from the inter
est shown in the recent series of
farm and home labor saving dem
onstrations sponsored by the
O.S.C. extension service in west
ern Oregon.
-ivrtR Walker and Mrs. Mabel
V St Mack, assistant farm labor su
pervisors wnu weic 111 uutigc ui
the demonstrations, report that
more than 12,000 persons saw the
2i different showings. In every
instance, they indicate, both men
and women were intensely inter
ested In methods of solving some
of their wartime labor difficulties
through labor saving machinery
and work simplifactlon.
While practically all of the -numerous
exhibits attracted wide at
tention, the draft cooler among
the pieces of home equipment, the
treatment to preserve fence posts
and the homemade fertilizer
spreaders were particularly pop
ular. Citing 1940 census figures,
Mrs. Mack pointed out that of
more than 70,000 Oregon rural
farm homes reporting, only 3.5
per cent had coolers. Homemak
ers repeatedly indicated their
need for a cooler for food storage
to supplement their mechanical
refrigeration facilities, Mrs. Mack
said.
Machinery Shown
A portable sewing kit, portable
wood box, kitchen utility table,
'olding laundry cart and methods
of adjusting work heights all of
which may relieve the burdens of
housewives also ranked high in
interest.
Among farm machinery shown
on the tour, the manure loader,
posthole digger, buck rake, tilt
top trailer and timber cattle guard
led the list of requests for further
information. Those attending the
demonstrations requested a total
of more than 15,000 publications,
most of which give detailed plans
for making the various pieces of
farm and home equipment. These
publications , may be obtained
from local county extension of
fices of the extension service at
Corvallis.
The respqnse of those seeking
the demonstrations indicates a
definite desire on the part of
farmers and homemakers to
make use of new ideas in saving
time and effort. Walker and Mrs.
tMacll believe.
