How Country Life is Being Made
Rpttar
Better.

DCtlCl.
g TX years ago gave up my chosen
~ work, which was teaching, and
came here to North Carolina, away
from the home and friends OF nv
youth, to life on the farm. Not,
however, without some doubt as to
whether the life of a farmers wife
would suit me.
But l had always loved the fields
and the woods, the flocks and the
herds and that, with a decided liking
for the farmer himself, brought me
face to face with the Tragedy of
the Farmers Wife" But it need
not be tragedy unless we make it so.
OF course, it is work, endless work,
but it is often that, too, for the city
dwellers and perhaps under not so
favorable conditions.
This is very satisfactory life to
me, but let us not forget at all times
to strive for the betterment of condi-
tions on the farm. There is much for
us yet to do along this line while
much is being done.
I like The Progressive Farmer,
every page of it. 1t is so clean and
practical from cover to cover.
l was especially pleased with Prof.
Massey's optimistic letter on the fu-
ture of farm life in the South. Yes,
let US give ourselves credit once in
awhile for what we have done.
There are many beautiful farm
homes here, almost all of them are
screened and many have screened
porches. | wish l could say that they
were all painted; the kitchens have
many conveniences such as ranges,
fireless cookers, lightweight cooking
vessels. etc. Wells are usually near
the kitchen; some of them have
pumps; We need a better system
about this, and we also need more
bathrooms.
Farmers are pretty we'll supplied
with machinery and we have a splen-
did telephone system.
The greater part of this improve
ment has been within six years and
think it is largely due to the efforts
of The Progressive Farmer.
We need more and better livestock
and we need gallons and gallons of
paint.
We have much to compensate us
for being the farmers busy wife; the
fresh, crisp vegetables from the gar
den, the golden pounds of butter, the
intimate association with the little
animals on the farm, and that joy
that comes only from living close to
nature. There is poetry in it all.
cannot write it, but l live it every
day.
