One thing certain is that an inside water service is 'a benefit to every member of a rural household. To the housewife it means ' all the difference -between pleasure and `drudgery in the performance of her duties. conducted by Agricultural Representatives in several Ontario Counties has to do with inside-water services in farm homes and how these can he provided. The ju.st.ifica- _ tion for the propaganda that is being put _on is found in the statement t-hat 65.000 Ontario famiers own cars. while not `5 per cent. of these farmers` homes have bath- rooms and other sanitary` conveniences. When the fact is recalled that water ser- vices of the most up-to-date kind can be installed in almost any farm home for less than thecost of a car. and that these conveniences add to physical well-being and enormously reduce household drudgery` every day in the year. while cars can be used during part of the year only, one is led `to wonder why conditions remain as they are. Wonder is apt to grow when it. is further borne in mind that the average 'life of a. car is not over four or five years. while household plumbing lasts almost in- definitely.` and does not call for the heavy maintenance charge that is involved in the use of a car. There is, however, a possible explanation in the fact. that nearly anyone can run an auto while knowledge of the means necessary to the installation of a water service is quite limited. 1 A....u....- .....a ........:kI.. ............. ......-.._ :..l WGUCI BUIVIUC I5 QUIIC IILIUIUUI Another. and possibly greater reason is Ifound in the fact -that. manufacturers of. equipment have not gone as vigorously after farm business of this kind as they should have done. These might very well take a lesson from automobile manufacturers. who. in ten or twelve years. have turned farmers. from haters of cars to the zreatest users of cars. They might even take a lesson from one of their own guild. A member of trade, by going after business, he: in two years installed 48 water services in that number of rural homes.
