GIRL STUDIES FARMING.
Miss Ethel Vanderbilt Will Manage
Her Fathers Farm Then.

The Kansas City Star devotes
column of well-deserved praise to
Miss Ethel Vanderbilt of Solomon,
who is studying agronomy and sur
vaying at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College in Manhattan. Says
the Star:
1t takes whole lot of nerve for
girl to study farming. There really
isn't any reason under the sun why
she shouldn't learn as much about
that business as any boy or man that
walks, But 1t is one thing to have
the disposition and quite another
to march in to classes with several
hundred boys--the only girl there
accompany them to demonstrations
of one sort or another, stick through
the lectures and, incidentally, do
some of the muscle-building stunts,
to which the students in this branch
are assigned sometimes. 1t is suffi-
GENTLY interesting to hear that a
girl really has taken the farming
course and is going ahead with it,
but how about 1t when the girfs
name happens to be Ethel? Isn't
that going some? Miss Ethel VAN
derwilt-notice the difference, please
Vanderbilt, not "bilt."
1t is one of those stories impossi-
BILE to tell without a bit of explana-
ton. other girls had tried agron-
omy-farming, the management OF
land, rural economics-but soon had
dropped out. Either they lost In
Nterest or they couldn't stand the
,oyershadowing presence of boys.
Not two in ten Of Miss vanderwilt's
friends supposed for a moment that
she would stick" to her chosen
study. Somehow person thinks
only of a hustling, husky, eornfed
girl of very, independent ideas when
a business like this is her choice;
but Miss Vanderbilt is none of these
except hustling. She's just fine
attractive, unusually wise young
woman, in the best Of health, not a
particle afraid Of work and willing

didn't brag about i'll

didn't brag about it!
Miss Vanderbilt doesn't expect to
pillow or dig or harrow. She wont
have to do that. She went after
this knowledge because she needed
it and knew 1t would be valuable
when she went home to her fathers
place probably to have charge of the
two hundred acres her father had
cultivated SO well and so long that
he didn't have to worry any more.
1t is farm equipped with excellent
buildings, strong fences, an orchard
and other things that make COM
plete property, The daughter never
has worked in the fields. She never
has had to pitch wheat to the thresh-
err. she has been saved all such tasks.
But she has been known to take her
dinner pail and go down to the bend
of the Smoky. a distance from her
home, and stay all day in her garden.
She has ridden colts that would
frighten most girls off the premises;
she is and has long been interested
in chickens, and she knows a lot
more than half the men about the
general run of farm live stock. IL
was her intention to farm sixty acres
this summer after college, but her
parents spent the summer away
from home and Miss Ethel had to go
home and be housekeeper and gen.
eral boss of the place. The domestic
science she had learned at the Kansas
state Agricultural College had equip
ned her for such duties. The old
folks enjoyed themselves on their
vacation, but no one half as much as
Miss Ethel enjoyed herself at home
| in charge of the place.
1t isn't hard to see how Miss Van
derwilt will have an advantage over
other women who have to DO farm
work. She will be conducting her
place on modern scientific methods
and making it pay. She will know
how to buy live stock and when to
dispose of a COW that isn't paying
its way. She will know which are
the profit producers, which hens lay
in the winter, and which are suitable
only for meat; she viii be competent
to direct crop planting 50 that the
fields will not be worn out by lack
Of rotation. She VIII be able to tell
at the end OF the year Just what she
spent and how much she earned
and how many farmers can DO thatE
she win farm. with her hsad-her
brains. II will require a rather brisk
and M to snuff husband to keep
even with q wife like that And the
oueerea thing about the case is this;
Miss Ethel hasn't q word to say about
farming. She Just goes on studying.
