Farm Possessions Mark Trend In Modern Farm Life
The study by T Wilson Lingmore of the USDA shows farm families increasingly adopt radios, sewing machines, magazines, newspapers, electricity, and home conveniences as markers of living standards. Projections suggest radios nationwide by 1952, electricity by 1955, mechanical refrigerators by around 1965, and all-weather roads by 1957, with telephones and running water following earlier. Education trends show rural schools shrinking to about 30 percent one-teacher schools by 1960 amid rising pupil numbers.
