Omaha.-If Nebraska farmers had
to pay their wives Giving wages for
their work most of them would have
to go out of business, according to
figures made public by the home eco
nomics department of the Nebraska
State university According to these
figures every farm wife earns $4,000 4
year. And inasmuch as most Of the
farmers are not making that over and
above expenses, the farmers would go
broke" If they had to pay their wives
what they would have to pay others
for the same service
The farm wife is a cook, washer
woman, seamstress, charwoman,
a nurse, an assistant farm director,
and a whole lot of other things. And
she is an expert in each of these. The
home economics department, In max
ing up its survey took all these occu-
pations into consideration, In estlmat-
ing the value of their wives service.
If Outside Help Were Hired.
IF a farm woman's time was con-
sidered and she was paid on the basis
of the hired help she saves her hus-
band from employing, she would re-
celye salary of $4,000 year" says
Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman OF the
department which made the survey.
First, all the cooking falls upon the
housewife. She prepares three meals
a day. She has no afternoon "out."
Service of that kind is worth at
least $40 a week. says Miss Fedde.
Next, the farm wife does the wash
ing and ironing. Very few farmers
have washing machines. 1t takes the
farm wife all day long to do the wash
ing. Another full day is required to
do the ironing.
1.-THE regular wages Of a laundress
in the country are $3.50 per day" says
Miss Fedde. "For the washing and
ironing, therefore, she should be cred
tied with So per week."

lost their lives.
The crew eagerly related their re-
markable experience Of sailing through
miles of the dead fish. According to
those on board, Klawak Bay was full
of herring three days before the North
western arrived, when sudden freeze
caught the fish in the narrOW-necked
harbor before they could escape to sea.
When they were first noticed by
George BradOvich, an employee of The
Craig cannery, near Klawak, they had
swarmed into the harbor in such num-
bers that those on top were forced
out Of the water. The freeze came
with great suddenness and severity
and about six inches of ice formed
on the harbor. Millions of the herring
at the entrance could be seen dumbly
fighting to get out to sea before the
enclosed waters were frozen.
When the Northwestern arrived the
tide had receded and for twenty to
fifty feet on the beech and several
hundred feet out into the water for
z distance of three and one-half miles
around the harbor lay frozen herring.
The officers of the ship and the can
merry foreman made careful measure
ments and found that the fish were
tightly packed for an average depth
of three feet.

to put some of the. herring away for
the summer, and unfortunately the
steamer could take none. The nearest
Indians who would have appreciated
the fish were 300 miles away.
