Farm women seek safer electric appliances for homes
Increased interest by Ohio farm women in electrical appliances follows rural electrification efforts. Miss Evelyn H. Roberts of Chicago advised buyers to value quality, inspect material and finish, check rounded metal edges, and test irons after power on to ensure handles stay cool. She urged selecting switches with good insulation and trying several types to fit work conditions, noting faster machines aren’t always desired. Evidence of rising excitement appears at Lorain County Women’s Home Council discussions for 1938-39 extension projects on home electrification.

New York Dairy Profits Tied to Butterfat Yields Across Years
Cornell University findings show state profits over feed cost rise with butterfat output, from 94 to 141 dollars per cow as production moves from 300 to 400 pounds, while 200 pounds yields only 49 dollars. Last fall New York production lagged behind prior year due to poor roughage. Association herds surpassed 40 pounds fat per cow in October, led by Holsteins from Columbia County producing 1 723 pounds milk and 63 pounds fat. Missouri tests say grinding roughage does not improve digestibility but boosts intake and reduces waste. grinding costs 1.50 to 2.50 dollars per ton, aiding feed mixing and reducing digestive upsets.
