But because Of their novelty, such

HOUSTON WANTS TO
HELP ARM WOMEN
Asks Suggestions From Half
Million in America
ALL URGED TO WRITE
Charge Has Been Made That Woman
Is Almost Entirely Neglected
By the Agricultural
Department

Washington. September 14-(Special) }
David +. Houston, Secretary of Agrcul-
ture, within the next few days will ad-
dress letter TO the women members of
$4,000 farm households throughout the
United States, requesting them to give
him information as to how the depart
ment of agriculture can best serve the
needs of the farm women.
These letters will be addressed ito
housewives in the homes of the official
crop correspondence and will be sent 10
the fun list of crop correspondents for
transmission TO the women members Of
their households With each letter VIII
be supplied a return envelope in which
the women can forward their suggest
ions.
This inquiry results from the receipt
of letter addressed TO the secretary in
which the writer said:
''The farm woman has been the most
neglected factor in the rural problem
and she has been especially neglected
by the national department of agrcul-
ture."
This letter was written not by wom-
an, but by a broad minded man, so thor
oughy in touch with the agricultural
and domestic needs of the country that
his opinions have great weight. Fol
lowing the receipt of this letter, the
secretary determined that the best way
for the department. TO learn how to give
these women the fullest possible aid and
service which their important place IN
agricultural production warrants, was to
write to the women themselves and ask
them to make thelr own suggestions.
In the letter these women are invited
to give individual answers to the letter
or to discuss the matter in their church
societies or womens organizations and
submit answers representing the com
bined opinions of the women of their
entire communities. The answers are re-
quested not later than November 15 and
this date is set because it will give the
women time after harvest to consider
the matter and discuss it with their
women neighbors
This letter will so to about 90 leading
farms in each of the $500 counties of the
United States. Their answers, it is ex-
rected. will represent the views and opin-
ions of upward of 100000 farm women
These answers will be carefully consid-
cred by the specialists of the department
having to do with that branch of agri-
cultural activity.
