Women Engaged in Farming.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, July 11.-Because women are
becoming farm owners and managers
in increasing numbers in Iowa, they
are to have an opportunity to study
agriculture from the women's stand
point, in new four-year course COM

that there are now some 10000 women
in the state who own or directly man
age farms. These women, year ago
