Kifchen Holds
The average American farmer
could learn a great deal aboutl
good farmstead arrangement by
studying the layout of his wife’s
modern kitchen, according to
Harry L. Johnston, farm service
director for the Insulating Sid
ing Association. ?
“A modern, properly planned
kitchen represents the ultimate
in efficiency and convenience,”
Johnston pointed out, “with sup
plies and ecuipment all readily
accessible, with work areas care
fully laid out so that food prep
aration moves with the efficien
cv of an automobile assembly
line.
“Although he’s operating on a
much larger scale, the farmer
should follow the same princi
ples in laying out his service
buildings. They should be plan
ned with storage close to the
areas of use, to make maximum
use of labor-saving equipment.
Lifting, scooping, forking, push
ing and climbing aren’t neces
sary on a truly modern farm.”
Johnston said as much as 50
per cent of the working hours
on the average farm are spent
doing chores and working around
buildings. -
“When this much time is in
volved, few farmers can afford
the Juxury of poorly arranged
buildings. They reduce efficien
¢y and destroy opportunity for
profit, not to mention the unne
eessary drudgery that results.
In the grain center, for exam
ple, Johnstons recommended stor
age facilities be combingd with a
processing and feeding center so
feed can move directly from stor
age bins to the livestock that
consume it.
With machinery stored in a
central building, repairs are eas
ier to make, since tools and
parts can be kept in the same
place. But Johnston warned to
provide plenty of flexibilitv in
the machinery center because
“ten years from now you’ll prob
ably have twice as much ma
chinery as you have today, so
there should be room for ex
pansion.”
Johnston pointed out that new
farm buildings need not be over
lv expensive.
“New thinking in design has
eliminated many of the costly
construction features that were
once considered essential, and
the developmert of new, versa
tile building materials has also
helped hold down construction
cost.”
As a specific example of the
tvpe of materials to which he
referred Johnston mentioned in
sulating siding which has large,
easy-to-handle panels that go in
place quickly. They insulate the
building—keeping out the heat
