WASTAGE OF
WOMAN POWER

STAFF CORRESPONDENT i. W. SEhNt@EI
WASHINGTON, June Elbow are
you going to keep her down or the farm
after she's seen the city,
That. in effect. Is the question which
prompted the U. = department OF agri-
culture TO undertake the nation wide
farm home survey which II has Just
completed. and Miss Florence E. Ward,
who directed the work. believes she has
found the answer.
This survey covers ie.0t5 typical
farm homes in SO northern and western
states. and in the opinion of Miss Ward
and other specialists OF the department.
proves conclusively that the waste Of
woman power is one of the greatest
nlenaces 10 the rural life of the nation.
With home life on the farm one con-
tinuaI round of drudgery, 1t Is only to
be expected that the alert young woman
should long for the greater comfort of
life in the city and the widespread
shortage of farm labor is eloquent proof
of the fact that the attractive young
woman. city bound is drawing the ca
pable young man after her.
Here are few of the reasons. as
disclosed by the survey, why women
find farm life unattractive:
ne WORKING nay Oh the average l1fi4l
woman is 113 hours the year round.
In summer it is 1912 hours. Eighty
seven out Of each 100 women have no
regular vacation during the year Half
Of the farm women are up and at work
at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Forty per cent have water In the
kitchen but the other so per cent must
carry it from the spring or pump
Thirty-six per cent help with the milk
ing Seventy-nine per cent have kero-
sene lamps to trim and fill. Ninety-six
per cent do the family washing about
half Of them having washing machines
and the other half using the old fash
toned tub. washboard and boiler
Ninety-two per cent do some or all Of
the family sewing. Garden work is
done by SIS per cent % per cent make
the family bread and so per cent have
churning 10 do.
Eighty-one per cent Of all poultry
hocks are cared for BY women. One
fourth Of the farm women help TO feed
and bed the live stock and - per cent
spend more than SIX weeks in the year
assisting with some part of the field
work All Of this is rs addition to
cooking the family meals and caring for
the children.
