CITY FOLK FARMERS.
Various Glasses That Have Gone
Back to the Farm"

The Department of Agriculture re-
Gently asked about $4,000 crop CORE
spondents to ind out the history OF the
city folks" who went back to the
farm. Here are the main classes:
l. Small tradesmen who gave up q
hopeless struggle in an overdone re-
tail business and seek in the country
a small farm. where the cost of nv-
ing is cheaper and where a more indie
pendent existence can be maintained
2. Merchants who failed in business
and who seek the farm to escape the
mischances of employment.
3. Mechanics, school teachers, tailors,
clerks and sawmill men who seek agrt-
culture as preferable 20 uncertain bust
moss and employment
Il 10 in9requent for a city-born man
to become a farmer. Usually the men
who give up city occupations to return
to the farm lived on farms in boy
hood
A large part OF those who return are
from the farm by the false promise of
high wages. but who subsequently
learn that tho cost of living in the city
Is high and that the money rate of
wages in the city is deceptive. These
young men often return when they
find they have made no Roadway in the
city. Retired farmers also, who moved
to town with the expectation Of spending
the rest of their lives there, have In
many cases found town life short OF
their expectations and have returned to
= farms.
Lastly. there are the agricultural col
onies made up to a large extent of for
eigners who had formerly been farm
ers in their native country and who
welcome opportunity to colonize on
farms.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. October 16.-Wet weather

thing of later reaction. the close,
which was unsettled, showed a net ad-

Difficulty of accommodating any large
supply at the chief terminals in the
northwest appeared especially to serve
as an incentive to speculative buyers
of wheat. Big receipts from Minnesota
and the Dakotas had but little effect on
sentiment. as stocks at Minneapolis in
particular were decreasing. With
rains which interfered with threshers
and hauling and which threatened to
become more general, the scarcity of
contract grades seemed likely to as
sumo an acute form. Chicago stocks be-

Heavy selling orders that were en-

were chiefly ascribed to attempts at
profit-taking usual at the end of the
week. Some of the sales, however
were doubtless inspired by Canadian
crop estimates, which gave an advan-

FARM HOMES FOR PRISONERS.
Workhouse officials Suggest Plan
for Aiding Woman Inmates.

If homes in the country or suburban
sections can be found for woman pris-
oners who are discharged from the
District workhouse there will be fewer
commitments of women to this institu-
ton, in the opinion of many local So
cial workers.
The female colony at the workhouse
usually has about 100 members and
about half of these women have no
homes to go to when they are dis
charged. The result is that they fall
In with evil companions and usually
find their way back to the Police Court.
If Congress provides an indeterminate
sentence and parole law it will be the
duty of the parole board to endeavor
to find work for both men and women
who are discharged from the work.
house. But, under present conditions.
prisoners Of both sexes. when given
their liberty, almost invariably have no
money and frequently no homes or
places Of employment to go to. This
condition, as would be expected, has
been found to work the greatest hard
ship upon women.
In the absence OF a parole board a
relief home or an institution of any
character for the reception of dis
charged woman prisoners social work.
ers believe that owners Of suburban
and country homes may greatly aid in
relieving this deplorable condition and
at the. same time obtain satisfactory
domestic and farm help by offering en-
ployment to the prisoners.
1t Is pointed out that District citizens
frequently offer homes to wards of the
board of children's guardians, but Tor
some uaeXplainable reason this prac-
tice never has been extended to the
workhouse, Notwithstanding the fact
that the inmates of the latter institu-
ton generally are skilled laborers
Woman prisoners, especially. 1t is be-
lieved. would be valuable for work at
country or suburban homes, where they
could aid in chicken raising, garden
ing. washing. sewing. etc. Many of
these industries they are taught at the
workhouse and 1t Is believed that if
they could be given homes in the coun-
try or extended suburban areas, where
they would not have the temptation to
seek evil companions or indulge an ap-
petite for drink. they would respond
to good treatment and only in rare in
stances would again become charges
upon the District.
1t is believed that applications to the
superintendent of the workhouse for
discharged prison labor would result in
many women being placed in good
homes, whereas under the present or
der of things the street is all that is
open to them: At all events, those in
terested in the Districts problems of
sociology believe that here is an ex-

in need Of domestic help should try.
