WOMEN AS FARMERS

Men from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land met in Worcester recently and
each surprised the other by telling
stories OF how many women from the
larger cities are going out into the
country and helping the farmers do their
work.
They both said that so far as they
knew. the women are well paid for their
work, as they count as emergency
hands. when the crops have to be saith
cred to save them from ruin. 1t was
made plain that hundreds Of women
leave Providence each morning in the
summer and walk or ride out into the
country, seven or more miles, work in
the highly cultivated fields all day and
then walk or ride home at night. These
are mostly Italian women.
Hundreds Of the best producing farms
of Rhode Island are owned and worked
The Washington times., 1907-11-10

by Italians. That is also true over a
large part of Connecticut, and especial
~ about the larger cities, where they
can get their produce to the markets
by short drives.
In England there are community
farming. colonies, where all the work is
done by women. A daughter of Vic
toria Woodruff is at the head OF one Of
these enterprises and il is observed
that she is winning more approval al
that business than her mother did as
lecturer and general free lover in the
United States The claim is made that
women who do farm work get more for
II then they could at InGOOr work. and
that they have better health ana more
independence with the opportunity to
associate with others whom they know
and respect; that they have more Ieis-
ure. on the whole, and that they live

must earn their liYing.-From the Wor-
