WHY BOYS AND GIRLS
LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
Miss Bernice Carter Makes Practical
Suggestions as to How the Trou-
BILE May Be Remedied.

Movement after movement to de-
feat the rapid removal of boys and
girls fro mthe rural districts to the
city have been started; remedy after
remedy for this condition has been ad-
vanced; Many of these movements
and remedies have been practical and
others absurd; but Miss Bernice Car
ter, assistant in charge Of girls club
work in Texas, working Jointly with
the United States department of agri-
culture and the Extension department
of the A and M. College, says there
is something more than the gay lights
and the alluring life of the city that
is attracting the boys and girls from
the farm.
And Miss Carter knows. She was
born on a farm and reared there I'M
til she went away to college. She
says that there is something wrong at
the average farm home and until that
something is remedied that boys and
girls will, be dissatisfied with home life

some other attraction that always led
them away from home"
And 1t was in those early days that
Miss Carter decided to do something
for the girl on the farm. And so two
years ago while she was astudent in
the State Normal at Denton she was
made county supervisor for Denton
County girls canning clubs In her
two years there the exhibit prepared
by her girls won first prize at Dallas
at the State Fair and at the Waco
Cotton Palace. In that exhibit were
$50 varieties of canned fruits and veg
etables grown and canned by Denton
County girls. In the homes repre-
scented by these girls canned fruits
and vegetables were available for the
table at all seasons of the year.
Recently, Miss Bette Rogers, assis-
tant state agent in charge of girls
club work resigned. 1--WE want a
young woman who is capable and
thoroughly in sympathy with the
work, who knows conditions" said
the Tilted States department of agri-
culture. $50 do we,' chimed in the
officials of the A. and M. College ex-
tension department. And Miss Car
ter was the logical person.
The work of these clubs has al.
ready been extended to fourteen new
counties, making a total OF thirty-two
counties now instructing girls in the
production Of fruits and vegetables
and in canning them. Not only are
the girls taught an important feature
OF good housekeeping, but they have
shown their fathers and mothers q
new avenue to successful farming.
One of these girls, Miss Annie Davis
of Jefferson grew and canned enough
tomatoes on one-tenth of an acre to
stock the family larder for a year.
The Davis family is now enjoying to.
| matoe soup, plain tomatoes and doz-
ems of other delicacies as the result
of this girls work. But listen, in adj
dition, she sold 1000 two-pound cans
of tomatoes for s12055 Estimating
cost of fertilizer, rent on the one
tenth of an acre and every other ex-
| pense at a maximum rate, this girl
cleared $S9.45; pretty nice for a girl
on one-tenth of an acre. Moreover,
she won in prizes $107,50 and trip
to Washington, a fund of 1925 being
set aside for that expense.
But Miss Carter, who directs the
work of theselady agents, believes in
modern plain canning and production
instruction. Balanced rations for
families proper ventilation and sani-
tation of rural homes, decoration and
improvement of the home. the yard :
in word, good housekeeping, will
be stressed to the fulles extent by
these evangels, who are the circuit
riders for an improved home life in
rural communities One of these
| days those worwekrs will meet with
a club in the extreme northern por-
| ton of the county encouraging them
in their work and Offering instruction
and the next day they will be clear
across the county engaged in similar
work with another club
"But its in the interest of our boys
and our girls and who cares for hard
ship or discouragements when theiI
interests are at stake" say these
| workers.
At present there are 2219 girls en-
rolled in these clubs. Many of then
are daughters of wealthy farmers anC
many of them come from poorer
homse.

and will go to the cities. make the
farm home life as attractive as the
city home life is supposed to be; feed
the boys and girls better food; bright
en- up the house, lift some OF the
heavy drudgery from their shoulders,
improve their educational advantages,
make the boys feel that a farmers
work is a mans work and the girl feel
that farmers wife is a high and
noble position; then and not until
and not until then you will find big
percentage OF the boys and girls will
remain at home, becoming the farm
ers and farmers wives of the future.
Those are some OF the ideas advanced
by Miss Carter
Miss Carte was born on farm. She
had ample opportunity to observe
some fthehardshi ps OF girls and
boys who were less fortunate and liv'
ed on tenant farms. 81 saw something

in many instances, were papered with
newspapers by some energetic and
progressive girl. Those girls were
not to be satisfied long with the home
life they lived. Their fathers and
mothers walked the same paths day
in and year out. Meals were the
same the year around and the only
real Joy they experienced was when a
picnic was held, singing given OF
