The Oregon Wheat Growers

heavy Impacts on changing the
Indian people to consume more
U. S. wheat, western style.
The latest bakers training
course had 384 applications with
45 of these interviewed, from
this number. 19 were enrolled
with five of these dropping out
as they could not keep up with
the training course. These bak
ing schools are a cooperative
project between Wheat Assc el
ates and the Institute of Agri
culture in India.
In the past, most of the stu
dents who have received train
ing at the Institute have gone
into the baking business and
some have successfully started
their own bakeries. Western
Wheat encouraged with the re
sponse has agreed In principle
to continue its support for these

Put your water in moton for
better living, more income
Ever consider how important water
Is to every home and farm? You
could go nearly two months without
food but only three or four days with
out waterl
Modern living makes countless
uses of water. It is of major impor
tance to your family's health and
comfort. But getting water to the
right place at the right time was for
merly a big problem. It is estimated
that a farm housewife, without an
electric water system, walks 70 miles
a year between the hand pump and
all that. A modern, electric water sys
tem is relatively inexpensive. Many
families do much of the work them
selves, in their spare time. Here are
a few simple steps which will help
bring running water Into your home:
1. Be sure your water source is
safe and adequate. Your county
agent or health department will be
glad to help you check it. You might
use a well, spring, cistern or a com
bination of all three. If a cistern is
used, it should be big enough to pro
vide all your watering needs during
the normal dry seasons.
2. Plan your plumbing in advance.
Avoid turns wherever possible. You'll

nearly 40 minutes a day carrying

or 24 full working days of 10 hours
each!
And still an old-fashioned hand
pump denies your family of all the
water they need for proper bathing
facilities; for cleaning or laundry.

save money by grouping outlets as
close together as possible.
3. Consider your future needs. If
you plan to pipe water to out-buildings
sometime in the future, it will be
wise to install larger diameter pipes
which can carry future loads. Other-'
-wise, it might be necessary to install
another piping system Instead of
merely adding to your existing one.
4. Leave room for household
needs. It will cost you less In the long
run if you allow for future purchases
such as a clothes washer, an extra
bath or an electric water heater. This
costs so little when you install with
the original piping but could be ex
pensive should you add the same
piping later.
available at all times. Beef and pork
production can be increased 10 to
20 percent when there is plenty of
water. Even egg production climbs
10 to 20 percent after automatic
poultry waterers are installed!
Running water is also a great aid
in maintaining sanitary conditions for
milk production. It helps you up
- grade your dairy so you get more
money for every hundred-weight of
milk.
Installing an electric water system
is a long term Investment. Discuss
your plans with your rural electric
system. Chances are you can get art
attractive loan to cover all the costs
from your P.C.A. or bank.
