A FRUITFUL PROPAGANDA. The Director of State Art Commission Ready to Supply Models For Farm- houses, Small Village Homes and Landscape Designs— Ugly Houses Disappearing. Because of the conviction that the state should render service to the peo ple the director of the state art com- mission of Minnesota, Maurice Irwin Flagg, is ready to supply models for farmhouses, small village homes and landscape designs. The purpose is to beautify the dwelling places of the people, and consequently the entire state can develop at the same time ambition and the love of the beautiful in the minds of men with small in- comes. The general adoption of the designs. which are furnished practically free. may eventually result in the wiping out of all of the ugly *‘shoe box™ de- signs that are so plentifully sprinkled over the landscape. Minnesota is a wealthy state. and it is growing more s0 because the farmers there are mak- ing three blades of alfalfa grow where one grew before. They are buying the latest farm machinery; they are bend- ing every effort to conserve the natural resources of the country, and they are learning how to take from the soil the greatest possible return. ‘While all this has been going on the physical character of the homes has been neglected. Mr. Flagg says in the| Survey: | “Practical farmers stated their needs, and it remained for the architects of the state to solve the problem of a $3,- 500 ten room model farmhouse. The state art commission offered prizes. It brought together ‘a jury composed of a practical farmer, Senator L. E. Pot- ter of Springfield; Mrs. Margaret L. Blair, a specialist in the department of domestic science and home manage- ment of the University of Minnesota; Dean A. F. Woods of the Agricultural college of that state, and George Chap- man, an architect.” Thirty farmhouse designs resulted from the competition. So much suc- cess met this work that there followed a ‘“model village house” competition. The houses were not to cost more than Youwll soft cufg shirts in many weaves ........... $1.50. $2.00. $2.50 Suits in Nainsook and M: w, $3,000 each. Fifty plans were submit- ted. Then came competitions for a “model farm yard.”” ' Any one in Min- nesota can get these plans at'a very small cost, and all others they may get by paying a1 good deal more for'them. Mr. Flagg says: “This program in Minnesota has stimulated other states to action. Mas- sachusetts has just completed, through the Agricultural college of Ambherst. a ‘model farmhouse' program. Califor- nia, Kentucky, Texas. Indiana and many other states have appealed to Minnesota for assistance in formulat- ing 'programs of the same character. The ‘model farmhouse’ plans have also gone to several foreign countries. Ger- many, Italy, France and Canada have published the results of the Minnesota competition for the benefit of their ag- ricultural people. , “This better housing program is sup- plementary to the other work of the commission. It sends to towns and cities throughout the state exhibitions of all kinds. It brings into the state each year a collection of the best American contemporary art. It circu; lates exhibits of industrial art, sculp- ture, home furnishings, home indus- tries and school art. It organizes home industries and handicraft classes and puts into the field specialists to teach such work. And it has been success- ful in finding a market for its prod- net.” You have seen some residences over- furnished and others underfurnished, and yet you know that furniture itself does not constitute the merit or the de- merit of the home so much as does the distribution of the parts and the at- mosphere of the place. The “good taste” of the occupants is the final test. writes L. H. Bailey in the Countryside Magazine. To some extent may we apply these contrasts to the home grounds, particu- larly to those grounds that are small enough to be dominated by the resi- derce and to have the homelike and domestic feeling. . As in the attractive residence there is some free space, so in the grounds there must be something like an open area. Let us conceive of the little home land- scape as comprising only a bare sur- face, with perhaps a few immovable natural obects, such as very large trees or irreducible banks. On this bottom area_we are to place our subdivisions— we are not to cover the area with bric-a-brac of plants and fountains and curious works of skill. The bounda- ries are -established. The best en- trances and exits are determined. -The outlooks are considered. Then the house is placed; then the service areas, such as clothes yards, kitchen entrance, vegetable garden, flower garden. barn or garage.. ‘In reference to thé boun- daries and the buildings, planting will be established. The bottom area of lawn or original space will remain, bearing and supporting all the rest.
