TOPICS OF THE FARM
A Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County

Miss Ward says, to send the farm

that her strength may be equal to

Business Principles Needed
What is to be done aDout IL? The
| department suggests some very defin-
tie things. 1.-THE interest of the De-
partment of Agriculture in the re-
| turns from these studies as to labor,
working equipment, and compensa-
tions of the farm woman are as prac-
teal" says Miss ward, "as it's interest
in farm studies regarding labor, ma
chtnery and crop returns, and for the
same general reason" The farm wo-
mans working hours might be short
oned, she continues, IL the principles
of modern business were applied to
the farm home. Running water for
the SO per CEN who now must carry
water and bath rooms for the so per
cent who have none are other things
that would tighten the woman's labor
and add to her comfort and content
mcnt. Labor could be lessencd il the
farm house were as well equipped as
the up-to-date barn, which the farmer
looks upon as so much currency with
which to buy efficiency. The installa-
ton of modern lighting systems would
release some of the time OF the wo-

kerosene lamps are used. The initial
cost would be small when weighed
against convenience and comfort.

Facts Shown by Survey

Miss Ward points out, from the
facts shown by the survey, that a
reasonable amount of planning and
well-directed investment in modern
equipment for farm homes would pre-
vent a large part of this wastage OF
the energy of the Nations rural home
makers
This is a serious matter" she con-
tinues, because we have a live ma
tional problem in working out the
economies of country living in such
as to make them satisfied to stay on
the land and help build il up. Per-
haps tho greatest factor In bringing
this about will be the healthy alert,
and expert home maker, who will sec
To il that part OF the increased income
from the farm goes into Improvement
81 the home. At a time like this,
when dearth of farm labor is a limit
ing factor in production it is very
doubtful business policy for farmers
to use increased income to buy more
land instead of using a part of il in
raising standards of living so that wo-
men and young people will not want
TO 20 to the cities in search Of attrac-
tive living conditions and amuse-
ment."
The survey discloses a number of
the reasons why many women do not
find farm life attractive. The work
ing day of the average farm m
as shown by the survey is l1.3 hours,
the year around I'm summer 1t il
1912 hours. And 81 out of each 100
women have no regular vacation dur
ing the year. On the average the
farm woman can find only 1.6 hours
of leisure during the summer and only
"a hours in winter. Half of the farm
women are up and at work at 5 o'clock
in the morning.
Forty-eight per cent have water in
The kitchen, but the other SO per cent
must go TO the spring or the pump
to bring the water for cooking break
fast. Thirty-six per cent help with
the milking. On the average, the
farm has a 7-room house to
keep i'm order. Sevonty-nine per cent
have kerosene lamps to trim and fill.
Ninety-six per cent do the family
washing. about half of them having
washing machines and other half do
ing the work with a tub, dashboard,
and boiler. Twenty-six per cent have
gas or electric iron to make more
comfortable the task Of ironing. Nine
ty-two per cent do some or all OF the
family sewing. Garden work is done
by Sc per cent, 95 per cen make all
or part of the family bread, and so
per cent have churning to 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 "a per cent of them
spend over six weeks in the year as
sisting with some part Of the field
work All OF this is in addition to
cooking the family meals and caring
for the children.
This, OF course. is the dark side OF
the shield. 1t does not take into con-
sideration the many co~mpcnsations
that come with the woman's daily
round OF work for the comfort OF her
family. and any n who has expert
cnced the satisfaction OF living in the
open country knows that the average
farm woman is more fortunately piac-
ed than her average city sister. But

"Because of its reputation as the
