dozen eggs (held by
Bob) typical of those
winning four con
secutive blue ribbons
(displayed by Glen)
at the Penna. State
Farm Show.
Bob comments on their choice of Moyer's DEKALB: “A majority of our eggs
are retailed through our own fruit market and other direct farm outlets. We
must have a good quality, large egg. We’ve come to expect this from the 137
layer we've been purchasing from Moyer’s over the past 10 years. We also
like to see those production peaks into the 90 percent range!"

Kitchen Considerations
Research studies show
that elbow height is one
measurement that best de
termines the most com
fortable work height for a
person standing in front of a
counter, range, oven or sink
For most activities at
kitchen counters, a home
maker needs a work sur
face three inches below her
elbow height But for mo
tions requiring the exer
tion of force or holding a
mixer or beater, the home
maker needs a work surface
six or seven inches below
her elbow height. Thus,
for more comfortable work
in the kitchen, more than
one height work surface
may be needed

To find elbow heig I
stand against a wall and
bend the arm usually used
for food work at a right
angle. Have someone hold a
finger where your elbow
touches and measure that
distance from the floor
Height can be added to the
counter by putting blocks
under the cabinet or adding
a platform on top. Although
counters cannot be lowered
easily, a homemaker can
find a convenient height
elsewhere. The bottom of a
sink is one possibility; the
kitchen table, a drawer or
utility cart are other ways.
The legs of a table may be
adjusted to correct height.
