Helping the Farmers Wife.
THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTUl

THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE pro-
poses, according to recent announcement, to
consolidate all the home economic activities of his
department in bureau, under a woman chief;
This should constitute valuable departure The
actual work of the farm woman, to say nothing of
her other functions in making the home, is nearly
as important that of her husband. The farm is
made prosperous not in the dairy in the pasture
alone but in the kitchen, in the poultry yard in the
backyard garden. In farming communities the home
IS almost the only center AS it proves success
so the agricultural life of the community is sue
cess.
Work for has grown steadily in the
Department OF Agriculture In 1915 what has been
known as the office OF Home Economics was Gre
ated as part Of the extension service. In this
work great deal of attention has been given
TO studies OF foods and how best to use them
labor-savng devices for the home studies of dress
making and materials etc. While work of this sort
iS planned primarily for the women on the farms
much OF it is equally helpful to the women in the
eties, especially to those in moderate circumstances
VINO must exercise economy and get the greatest
value for the money spent.
When the new bureau is established it is to be
presumed the work will be broadened The farmers
wife will come into her own. She will be recos-
sized as definite factor in the production and
economy OF the United States. This nation, of
AoHSe' SUN Is primarily agricultural and will
tinue such for many years to come in spite of an
alarming drift away from the rural districts noted
recently. No small part of this exodus probably
ran be explained by the failure of the home isolated
from near neighbors and dependent on its inmates
3or success, to measure up to the standards de.
handed by the younger generation.
The Department OF Agriculture can do much
20 remedy this condition 1t already has worked
wonders but there is still room for enormous i'm
provement.
! The condition of the farmers wife has been
Altered almost as II by a magic wand during the
past quarter OF century. When the present cen
Jury came in she an object of-pity The Ameri-;

Tor these two stocks at the close, and
the last sales registered net loss of

The general opinion in the financial

spectacular from q human interest
point of view, would not react unfavor-

Federal Reserve Earnings

The gradual downward swing of
member bank borrowings at the Fed
eral Reserve banks and the sharp con-
trast between the resources of these
institutions and the uses to which thev
are being put bring into the field Of
conjecture the subject of Federal Re-
serve bank earnings during times Of
normally. The open market operations
of the bank have not been developed
on any considerable scale as yet, and
recently the effective influence Of the
Federal Reserve banks in the money
markets has been greatly reduced. The
period of defation and declining in
terest charges has curtailed the earn
ings of all banking institutions, but
tho drop, it is believed, has in no case
been 30 severe as with the Reserve
banks. Some bankers regret that the
usual approximate estimate of the six
months earnings has not this year
been available.
