5000 WOMEN WORK
TO AID RURAL SOUTH.
Farm Home Improvement Movement
Pushed BY Four Hundred
County Agents.
ATLANTA correspondence of Philadel-
phia Public Ledger)

tAtlanta Correspondence OF Phlladel-
phia Public Ledger)
Rural home Improvement work in
the South has grown to such an ex-
tent that there are nearly 400 coun.
ty agents at work in Is Southern
States. These agents have the CO.
operation of about 5000 farm women
as home demonstrators.
This organization, which began only
five years ago, is teaching farmers
wives and daughters better methods
in housekeeping and simple ways OF
adding to the family income.
Women Deeply Interested.
The interest taken by women in
this kind Of work is indicated by the
fact that the county agents have now
enrolled thousands of farm women
as demonstrators. These demonstra.
tors agree to adopt some household
Improvement. and to furnish in this
way an object lesson to their neigh.
bors, or they agree to carry on GER
tain demonstrations under the super
vision Of the county agents. Very
successful demonstrations have been
made In cooking. improving sanitary
conditions, winter gardening, poultry
work and dairying. In addition, the
demonstrators report to the county
agents at the end of the year shows
the results which they have attain.
ed.
A Georgia Instance.
These parallel object lessons are
most efficient in arousing interes,
and carrying convictions. A Georgia
woman, for example, who had been
shown the use of the milk separator,
found that her neighbors came miles
t. see her churn.
The fact that she was getting 80
cents pound for her butter, instead
OF 20 cents, soon aroused Interest
in making better butter. .he use
OF the thermometer, in particular, a.-
tracted attention. Before seeing it
IN operation the women had not con.
sldered the Importance of having
cream at the rish. Temperature.
Began With Girls Clubs.
This work began with the organl-
cation of girl canning clubs in two
Southern States in 1910. These girls
clubs, however, while important in
themselves were from another stand
point regarded as stepping stone
to further home demonstration work
for farm women At the beginning
OF the movement one of the founders
wrote:
The direct object is to teach some
simple, straightforward lesson to the
girls on the farm which will open
the way to their confidence and that
OF their mothers, and which will at
the same time open their eyes to the
possibilities of adding to the family
income through simple work in and
about the home"
