EnaIish Women Buying Farms.

6h8ton Sdybi9
Women in England are buying their
Own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces in rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this is all an outcome OF
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling is. that there will not be
much room for the common female
farm laborer as time advances, but for
the woman who has little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there is ex-
cellent opportunity in this direction.
In the first place, On account Of the
compact location Of the garden spaces
and. the cities in England transporta-
ton Of foodstuffs is easy. Thep gar
den truck and flowers do grow abun-
dainty and profusely there, and always
find ready markets.
