oh. don't want to take boarders.'
But it seems to me that farm woman
living anywhere near the city can
make a good profit by receiving week
end boarders. Later it may be un-
necessary to do it, but just at the first,
when all her money is tied up in the
farm, it seems 70 me a good plan.
"And if I. woman can have some
work which brings her money in the
dull months, it will be Of great advan-
tage to her, also. Unless there is
great deal Of stock to be cared for,
there is little for farmer to do in the
winter"

at doesn't seem to be business for
a lazy woman" l said. That remark
was wiser than some of the others |
had made. For Mrs. Vollmer said
heartily: Indeed it isn't. But don't
know many lines of work in which
lazy person can succeed, do you! IN
regard to that matter of return on
ones investment, it seems to me from
my experience that | have made as
much money as I would have done by
putting my capital in any other busl-
ness. For, in addition to any cash re-
turn, | have had my home and my liv-
ing. And another thing which must be
taken into consideration is the fact
that land values are increasing all the
time. II won't be long before good
land everywhere will be so scarce that
it will cost much more than it does
to-day. So the steady increase Of land
value must be taken -ccount OF when
figuring on profits.

other professional women ask me ABOUT
the advisability of farming. As | say,

way I would say that if woman Is
willing to work and has any aptitude at
all for farming it seems to me mucn

"The loneliness Of farm life is dis

7 S THE hired man of the farm to

Is the time at hand when the woman
farmer will be no more of curiosity
than the woman teacher or the woman
stenographer?
Those questions may seem prepos-
ferrous on reading them. But they
wouldn't sound that way II you had
talked with Mrs. Susan H. Vollmer as
she showed you her farm out on Long
Island. And, as she points out, the
several hundred members Of the Wom-
ans National Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Association which held its
first annual conference in the Botan-
ical Gardens Of Bronx Park yesterday,
prove that the woman farmer has
already come. That she has come to
stay, Mrs. Vollmer Is certain.
Ii is eight years since Mrs. Noll-
mer began to farm. In those years she
has learned many things besides the
best way to rotate crops and the most
approved methods of fertilizing land.
She has proved to her own satisfaction
and most certainly TO that of any
one who interviews her on the subject
that there is no reason why wom-
an shouldn't be just as good farmer
as g man. perhaps just little more so.

eight years, so realize, of course, that
from the standpoint of statistician |
have no proof of what | say. But the
fact that | have found women such
good farmers does prove, 1t seems to
me. that proficiency in farming does
not depend upon sex.
Success Not Dependent on Drawn
Alone.
"The old belief was that farming is
such heavy work that a woman could
not do it. There was q day perhaps
when that was true But the modern
farmer does not depend for success on
Drawn alone. He, or she, tried to make
the head save the hand and the heel.
The best farmer is not necessarily the
one who does the most heavy work.
Perhaps it is just because a woman is
not as strong as a man that she has

HEALTH CRUSADE
REACHES SUBWAY
Number of Passengers To Be
Limited, Except in
Rush Hours.

The Board of Health yesterday ex-
tended its overcrowding crusade to
the subway and ordered the Inter
borough, through its president, Theo-
dore P. Shonts, not to carry more than
one and one-half times the seating
capacity OF each car, except in rush
hours.
Forty inspectors have been investi-
eating the overcrowding of cars for
several weeks. They reported that
packed cars ARE dangerous and preju-
dlcial to the health of the passengers"
The boards resolution says it is well
established that communicable dis
eases are spread through contact with
infected persons" and that pneumonia,
influenza and bronchitis germs often
find new homes in the subway.
1t is the belief OF the board that
there is unnecessary overcrowding in
the subway. The resolution states
that the number Of germs liberated in
the crush increases in great proper
ton with the size Of the crowd. For
that reason the Health Department de-
clares that overcrowding Is public
nuisance.
Mr.. Shonts has asked the Health
Department to cooperate In enforcing
a mandatory order issued to the Sixth
Avenue surface line. He said the line
was running the maximum number Of
cars, and that it was impossible to
eject passengers 70 comply with the
order. He suggested that the depart
ment put policemen on the cars.
