FARM DRUDGERY LESS
100000 Farms Tightening Work
by Electrical Means.
On Others Women Carry an Average
Of Forty-hve Tons Of Wator
Every Year.

Old fashioned drudgery without any
social compensation Is decreasing
among the farms OF America. This
can be positively stated after examin-
ing . survey Of farms made by cleo
trical interests. The chief revelation
of that survey vas that one-tenth of
all the farms of the United States are
equipped for electrical operation.
1t sounds significant to say that
300 900 farms are now doing 1t cleo
trically." But 1t sounds even more
significant to state that there are
2,7OO, 900 other farms where electricity
is unknown.
On these latter the old burdens are
borne in the old way. The women feel
them probably more than the men.
Any farm woman who has reached
middle life and who has ave had an
electrical appliance in her house
knows how drudgery can kill the spirit.
The investigation mentioned brought
out certain information. 1t was found
that 81 per cent of the farm ONE on
u~nelectriied farms carry water from
the we'll every day and average about
forty-fve tons of water a year. Often
the women assist in the dairy work of
the farm. and IS per cent of them
wash the milk pals, while 65 per CEN
clean the cream separators.
In their daily housework-the same
sort of work that city housewives per
form-94 per cent of the women do
their own baking and 95 per cent of
them do their own sewing.
They cannot fall back upon the o n
