Woman's
World
BY Nellie C. Jones

We note today ina Woman's
World, the garden photographer,
and in this field Jessie Tarbox
Beals have proven to be and ex-
pert. It's a new and practically un-
tried field open for women in the
line of garden photography.
Women are natural makers and
lovers of gardens, and desire to
have them perpetuated is a real
chance for other women who, hav-
ing no gardens of their own, love
them as belonging to their more
fortunate sisters, and learn how
to make blossoms last all the year
round by taking beautiful photo
graphs.
It is more than a fad. 1t is a
vocation that calls for the highest
ingenuity, for a capacity for earn
est work, a knowledge of color,
color values, of composition, of
business principles, and every 9th
err natural capability.
With the field as big as it is,
as far as | know there are only
three or four specialists in this
line in this country, and their
services are in great demand. You

Farm Population Trend
Swings Upward in State

Streamlined houseWork, mech
anized agriculture and the result
ant leisure for more rural recre-
alton is keeping 'em down on the
farm in Washington, DR.. Ruth RAJ
dir, associate state All agent of
the State College of Washington,
declared this week.
Two out of every five persons
born on the nations farms, DR..
Radir explained, usually leave the
land during their teens to seek
work either in town or in the big
city. In Washington, however, ex-
tension economists report that
farm population has been on the
upswing during the last few
months. The opening of newly ir-
rigated areas of the Columbia Ba-
sin and the return of war veterans
have influenced the trend some
what. But there is also evidence
that more farm youth are choos-
ing agriculture as life pursuit.
Enrolment of 1908 All Club
members at the State College is
only one indication. In most in
stances the college filters, when
queried, expressed their inten-
ton of selecting course which
will help them become better
farmers and homemakers.
