WOMEN SPECIALIZE

Most women who write to the bu- reau express a desire to specialize sn fruit growing. dairying and poultry raising. Some expect to do general farming. and few will go in for range cattle In number of instances three or four women have pooled their re- sources and will handle their deal on a cooperative plan. Among the women inauirers those who are single are in the majority. School teachers head the list.
 An. important feature of the plan for furnishing dependable information to homeseekers is to keep in touch with the newcomer after he locates in order to help him get started along correct lines. In other words, the farm CT from Maine, for instance, will have much to learn about farming in Ala bama, and the homeseekers' bureau will see to it that he is advised with ref erence to approved methods in the state in which he settles. The object Is te make the settler an asset to the com munty. rather than liability; and te do that he must be given every possl- bIe opportunity fer success. State county and municipal authorities gen. orally are working in harmony to this end.
