This meuns that even though the farm home be. provided ‘with an gutomobile and a telephone, the farm family may be obliged to act unaided in’ case .of sickness, child birth, or serious accident, and that its members perhaps need more than ordinary traliing to prepare them for such ‘exigencies, Along with proper. nutrition, cloth- ing and: exereise, sanitary conditions have an important bearing on the health of children and, adults on the; farm.
