as can be carried on as cheaply and as sue

as by traditional home methods.

per cent of rural women do their washing

activity might well be removed from the

''The conviction is growing in the minds
of extension workers that while it is their
first business to promote efficiency, this
should be looked upon as means of stim-
ulating richer and more satisfying rural
life by freeing the homemaker's time and
energy SO that she may give attention to
the attractiveness and comfort of her
home, the training and companionship of
her children, the enjoyment of books and
neighbors and the building up of social and

Mrs. Blaine dresses well, but quietly.
She has friendly blue eyes, fair hair and
skin and she is a little above the average
height.
Mrs. Blaine was born in Boscobel but
was brought up in Chicago and Milwaukee,
later going back to Boscobel. She attend
ed the University of Wisconsin with the
class of 1899, and later went to the Platte
vile normal school. After teaching year
in West Salem and another in La Crosse,
she married Mr. Blaine in 1904, having met
him in Boscobel, where he came as a
young attorney.
Mrs. Blaine believes a career is very
well for unmarried women, but does not un-
derstand how woman can make career
apart from that of her husband and fam
lily unless she has some special talent
which she is developing. The first interest
of married women she thinks, is the home.

Farm Women's Problems
What Survey of Ten Thousand Farm
Homes Shows About Woman's Work

The United States department of agriculture has issued
pamphlet entitled 1.-THE Farm Woman's Problems from
which the facts in the article following taken This
pamphlet be obtained by writing the department and
asking for Department Circular 148.

water. Ninety-six per cent do their own washing
and the same number their own sewing. Only IA
per cent have any hired help at any time during the
year and these only for short periods; almost none
report any hired help the year around.
These findings were secured from an actual survey
of 1O,O44 farm homes in 81 northern and western
states, made by the United States department of
agriculture in connection with state agricultural
colleges
Turning to the farm work outside the house the
report shows that SO per cent of the women helped
to milk and that nearly all had some farm work,
such buttermaking, caring for livestock or
poultry.
Sixty-two per cent of the farm families have
automobiles and 72 per cent have telephones the re-
port shows. That the League states are among the
most progressive is shown by the fact that in the
Middle West 73 per cent of the farmers have auto
mobiles and 85 per cent have telephones, while on
the Atlantic coast only 48 per cent have autos and
67 per cent phones. That autos and phones are
necessities rather than uxures is shown by the fact
that the average farm home is mile and one-haf
from a school, six miles from high school, three
miles from church, five miles from a market and
nearly six miles from doctor.
BIRTH RATE IN RURAL
DISTRICTS is LOWERED
That the average farm woman is so busy that
she has little time to care for children is shown by
the report. The farmers wives were asked to
port on the number of children under 10 years of
age. The average was found to be only 1.8, with
considerable number (who evidently had children
under this age) failing to report. The department.
states that figures indicate that the birth rate
the farm is not only falling, but falling below that
of other elements of the population.
Florence E. Ward in charge of extension work
with women for the department of agriculture,
comments upon the situation revealed by the sur

Blaine's heart, is their adopted
daughter, Helen, who was married
about a year ago and is now Mrs.
Don Farris Of Madison.
"Helen has been and still is about
my first interest in life," said Mrs.
Blaine. "She is none the less ours
now that she is married" Mrs.
Blaine has, however, many other
interests, chief among which is her
husbands work.
She is a strong progressive and
has for many months been active in
the work of the Wisconsin League
of Progressive Women and expects
to keep up her work. She is also
member of the Madison Woman's
club and the Civics club, and has
for a number Of years been much
interested in all kinds of work per-
tanning to the welfare Of women
and children. She was a strong
suffrage worker in Boscobel.
