Many Kentucky Women
Are Practical Farmers

In Kentucky many women are
PRACTICAL farmers. and one of them
has made a success of her farm of
nearly 500 acres by raising wheat,
corn and cattle. She is greatly inter-
ested in getting women back into
farm work and showing them that
money can be made on the land.
Now that machinery plays so large
a part in farming there is no reason
as any man. In my part of the coun-
try, If a woman inherits a farm at
the death of her father, she doesn't
sell it; she farms it. And many wild
ows have carried on their husbands
work with great success. OF course
there is a heavy farm work that a
woman should not do, but then no
farmer with large piece of land eX-
poets to do all the work himself
with the development of intensive
agriculture women will certainly
prove themselves capable of produc-
tive work on the land. Gardening,
poultry raising. small fruits. together
with canning and preserving, will be
much engaged in by women of the
future. The social conditions in the
country are raidlly improving, and
with the steadily increasing demand
for food a bright and trained woman
will find that she can do wonderful
things in agriculture"
Up at Cornell almost as many girls
as men are taking courses in agri-
culture and the raising of animals
and birds for the markets.
Farming methods are steadily i'm
proving. and the fact that a farm
must be run on modern business lines
is being recognized by the young
people who are interested in farming
as a profession. Old, haphazard ways
must go-have largely gone. The
girl with gumption is going to be-
come a factor in country life both in
the raising of sheep and horses and
cattle or poultry, and in the manage
ment of truck farms. At least, so
say those who knew.

Russian proposals do not show a
compromising attitude and do not
consider the opposite parties on a
just basis. Nevertheless, it adds,
the Central Powers again are pre-
pared to give clearly formulated
expression of their opinions and to
try to find basis for a compromise.
For the central powers, as distinct
from the case with Russia, the an
nouncement adds, q conclusion of
peace with Russia has no connec-
ton with a general peace and the
Central Powers are compelled to
continue the war against their other
enemies.
Withdrawal of tho Austrian and
German troops from the occupied
territories while the war lasts is i'm
possible, the statement says.
Russia Faces Rupturc
In Russia the Bolshevik govern
ment is faced with the meeting OF
the Constituent assembly on Friday
and with the carrying out of threat
of war made against Rumania, should
the BolsneYik ultimatum not be sat
isfactory. Premier Lenine has de-
nianded that the Rumanians release
BOlSheNlk soldiers now under arrest
with the alternative of a rupture of
relations and military measures by
the Bolsheviki. Rumania is given
twenty-four hours in which to make
n satisfactory reply.
Opening of the constituent assem-
lily has been put off from time to
time by the Bolshevil1i since the cleo
tions resulted unfavorably to the Le-
nine government. Control of the as
sembly is in the hands of the social
revolutionists whose leader announces
that the assembly. if convened, will
appeal for an interallied notice to
discuss an immediate democratic
peace on the basis of the statements
Of President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George.
Military operations on the west
front are confined TO the usual raids
and artillery duels. ~
U-BOnt Losses show Decrease
British merchant shipping losses
show a marked decrease from the
two previous weeks. Submarines and
mines accounted for six vessels of
more than 1000 tons and two of less
tEan that tonnage the past week
as compared with twenty-one ships
including eighteen of more than 1000
tons. in the reports of both January
3 and January 2. French losses in
cluded from one in the previous week
to six, including five of more than
