These figures were taken from the

as the proposition may appear at first
glance the department of agriculture
loes not feel that ;ae average farm
er's wife knows more about conduct
ing a home than her sister in the
city. This is where special training
in domestic science is said to score.
According 70 q report on this subject

atively little is being done in training
women and girls who live in the coun-

Hamilton says that winter schools for
adult women will haev to be organ
lied Movable schools in large mum
bers will have to be sent out; suita-
Bile demonstration schemes will need
to be devised; export advisers to
visit country women will have to be
employed, and publications adapted
to the capacity and needs of rural
housewives will have to be introduced

Farmers institutes for women are
urged by the department of agricul-

character have been held for the ben

these meetings, as some did, they had

But now the movement for distinct
farmers institutes for women is grow

Otis Storm, the well known stage
and transfer man, arrived the latter
part of last week from Cottonwood.
where he is engaged in hauling wool
for the American Nickel company, de.
veloping the nickel mines near Boyer.
Mr.. Storms has delivered 100 cords to
the mines and still has 100 cords moro
to deliver on his contract.
The mines, he states, are running
regularly with eight men employed.
1t is expected that this force will Short
ly be increased by the addition of an.
other shift. The mine is equipped with
Rurley drills and the development work
is being pushed vigorously. The work
being done at this time is driving
ahead of a tunnel, now in 450 feet,
and which it is figured out will cut the
underlying ore bodies and open up
the vast chimney of nickel ore, which
the owners of the mine believe they
have.
