Progress Made in Farming

Homes Investigated
'The waste of woman power is ono
of the greatest mcanees to the rural
life of the Nation, according to
deductions that specialists of the
United States Department of Agriculture
draw from a farm home
survey conducted in the 3"> Northern
and Western States. The survey
was made under the didrection
of Miss Florence E. Ward, in
charge of extension work with women,
Office of Extension Work,
North and West, States Relations
Service. The records cover 10,015
farm homes, averaged by taking
typical communities of the counties .
in which the survey was nvule.
Much of the information was gathered
personally by home demonstration
agents, who are the field representatives
of the United States ,
Department of Agriculture and the .
State agricultural colleges.
Facts Shown by Survey.
Miss Ward, points out, from the
facts shown by the survey, that a j '
reasonable amount of planning and \
well-directed investment in modern 1
equipment for farm homes would I
prevent a Uirge part 01 tnis wasi- j
age of the Nation's rural ' home j
makers.
"This is a serious matter," she
continues, "because we have a ' live
national problem now in working I;
out the economics oT country living
in such way as to make them satisfied
to stay on the land and help |
build it up. Perhaps the greatest !
factor in bringing this about wili |
be the healthy, alert, and expert j
home maker, who will see to ii that J
part of the increased income from
the farm goes into improvement of i
the homo. At a time like this, when ,
the dearth of farm labor is a limit- i
ing factor in production, it is very j
doubtful business policy for farmers j
to use increased income to buy
more land instead of using a part
of it in raising standards of living
so that women and young people \
will not want to go to the cities j
in search of attractive living condi-j
tions and amusement."
The survey discloses a number of
the reasons? why many women do {
not find farm life attractive. The j
working day of the average farm
woman, as shown by tho survey, isj
11.3 hours, the year round. In'
summer it is 13.12 hours. And 8"
out of each 100 women h.avc n4,
regular vacation during the year.
On the average the farm woman
can find cnly 1.6 hours of leisure!
during the summer and only 2.4 !
hours in winter. H.df of the j
.farm women are up .and at work at
5 o'clock in the morning.
Forty-eight per cent have w.iter!
in the kitchen, but the other 52 i
per cent must go to the soring or
the pump to bring the water for
cooking breakfast. Thirty-six
per cent help with the milking. On
the average, the farm woman has a
7-room house to keep in order.
Seventy-nine per cent have kera
seive Lamps to trim and fill. Nin ty
six per cent do the family washing,
about half of them having washing
machines and the other half d )ing
the work with tub, washboard, and
boiler. Twenty-six per cent have
gas or electric irons to make more
comfortable the task of ironing.
Ninety-two per cent do some or all
of the family sewing. Garden work
is done by 56 per cent. 94 per cent
make all or part of the family
bread, and GO per cent have churn
ing to do. Eighty-one per cent of
all poultry flocks are cared for by
^ n IT- _ r a 1
women. wne-iourun 01 uu: iuim
women help to feed and bed the
live stock, ond 24 per cent of them
?ppend over six weeks in the year
assisting with some part of the
field work. All of this is in addition
to cooking the family meals
and caring for the children.
This, of course, is the dark sid<
of the shield. It does not take into
consideration the rrv.iny compensa
tions that come with the woman'.daily
round of work for the com
fort of lier family, and anyone wh(
has experienced the satisfaction o
living in the open country know*
that the average farm worn,'.in i<
more fortunately placed than hei
average city sister. Hut the tasl
is sufficiently grinding, as ivns:
Ward says, to send the farm wo
man to bed "breathing a praye
that lier strength may b<* equal t<
to-morrow's duties."
Business Principles Needed.
What is to be done about it? Thdepartment
suggests some ver
definite things. "The interest o
the Department of Agriculture i
the returns from these studies as t

abor, working equipment, and compensations
of the farm woman are J
as practical," says Miss Ward, '*as
its interest in farm studies regarding
labor, machinery, and crop returns,
ami for the same general
reason." The farm womans working
hours might be shortened, she
continues, if the principles of modern
business were applied to the
farm home. Running water for tho
52 per cent who now must carry
water and bath rooms for the 80:
per cent who have none a no other
tilings that would lighten the w>'
man s labor and .add to her com -,
fort and contentment. I^abor could
be lessened if the farm house were
as well equipped as the up to da'e
barn, which the farmer looks upon!
as so much currency with which to .
buy efficiency. The installation ofj"
modern lighting systems would le-'
lease some of the time of the wo-1
men in the 79 per cent of homes 1
where kerosene lamps are [
used. The initial cost would b^
small when weighed against con - :
venience and comfort. The installa j
tion of heating systems would rc- I
lease some of the time the 64 per j
cent of women who caio for two ,
ccval or wood stoves.
<< A ii r :.. I
as power on trie larm i* un- i
greatest of time and labor saver* !
for the farmer," Miss Ward import
says, "so power in the home is
the greatest boon to the housewife." .
Forty-eight per cent of farms cov j
ered by the survey reported power .
for operating farm machinery, but j,
only 22 per cent have this .advantage
for the home. "That," says
Miss Ward, "is a singular fact
when we consider that frequently
it is a simple matter to connect the j 1
engine used at the barn with the ,
household equipment." The washing ^
machine is another labor saver.'
Selling the cream to a creamery j j
whenever possible instead of churn,
ing it at home is still another.
In short, the same sort of intelligence
and a fraction of the money
applied to making field and barn
work convenient would, if .applied
to the home, save untold drudgery
to the women of the farms and
would add both Vo the profit and j
comfort of farm life.
AS TO FRVE RANGE
The people will doubtless elect
Legislators who will favor the free ;
range; and after they get there it
will be their job to get the law
changed after it goes into effect
next January.
