Home Building Comes
First On Farm,
Surveys Indicate
The Old assumption that farm
its riogli'ct their homes in favor
of farm buildings and improve
ments just isn't borne out by the
facts.
Latest U. S. department of agri
culture surveys, as reviewed for
Oregon by Mrs. Elvera Horrell,
OSC extension agricultural eco
nomist, show that slightly more
than half of the total value of
farm consruction goes for houses.
Out of the remaining less than
half, three-fourths is spent on
service buildings such as barns
and poultry houses and the rest
for fences, windmills, pumps, etc.
On the farm, about one-third of
the money spent for houses Is
used for new construction and
one-half for major improvements.
The rest goes for miscellaneous
repairs. This is in direct con
trast to city figures, where most
of the outlay is for new structures.
About half of the farm con
struction work, Mrs. Horrell re
ports, is done by farmers and
their families. This reduces the
labor costs to about 25 per cent
of the cash expenditures. In the
city, labor costs run about 40 to
50 per cent of the total construc
tion expense.
