FARMING FOR WOMEN The Wartime Emergency Has Set Going j. Movement Winch Promises to Give Permanent employment to Many. WOMEN av taken to srmlnjr At first we' took their agricultural ambition with certain levity. TVs heard about womtn 11 bt keepers and wotaen as gardeners, and It all sounded very gentle and mild and Women always did look pie turesque In gardens. In splu of the admirable example of our grandmothers, we never expected our sort among- them In these daya to be anything; more than WMV Then the war came along and with It a real demand for women as laborers on Soma people cried out that wo-men could not do men's Work In the fields.

But quite a lot of women tried It on and made rood. Old farmers who, because there was no alternative, were forced to let women work In their fields, had the truth wrung Xrom thera at last the farming had been ton competently, the crops had been harvested, and things mere going along, all things considered, pretty well. The fact la, a certain type of woman is thrilled and Interested by the very, mention of a garden or of anything that has to do with digging In the earth and watching the green things grow. A woman can cherish a paaelon for growing cabbages as ardently as another woman cherishes a. passion for clothes.

Some can love cabbages without utterly neglecting chiffon. And as women tend to societies, there have appeared organizations which da nothing but cater to the interests of. women who are interested In' fatalng and gardening. They see to it that Information on these subject Is distributed, they scatter abroad propaganda with regard to the drying, of fruits and vegetables, they help to find women positions on farms and In gardens. i On woman made- an ezoerlment in drylag of fruits which proved so euo- cessrui mat she has been asked by all ortH of societies having to do with the food-saving problem lb exhibit samples of the fruit and veretablea v-Mh managed to dry In such a perfect way that they could be used all through the long winter.

She did not resort to dehydrating she allowed th san in a Southern cUmate to do all her work for her. Unhandicanned bv any real education on the subject, she simply and directly at the problem of caving -the quantities of mnrtnr things which she had seen go to wicked waste eevry Summer. She dried evarv thing which grew on her farm every thing from pinach to cucumbers. To the custom-hallowed dried peas and beana. she added dried huuIl dried specimens were wonderful Jto'lpok.

The Short Summer courses, taken with avidity By women who have athr huaf ties Interests, but who feel that they must find an ouUct which is more nearly themselves, that they must work In the direction of their owrt most honest development There are special coursea in poultry raising, bee-keeping, vegetable growing, and in many other branches of farming endav6r. And the couraea are 'of varying lengths and degrees of intensity, so that women In many sorts of environments may get as much or as little- aa thy want During these courses farming men and fanning women get. together and talk out their hopes and ambitions.

They form plana for the rosy future of farming to which thl country seems to be looking; forward hopefully, and they can-ass the problems with which they, will shortly be confronted. At Cornell every year they call a conference of farmers and students so that the problems of eeh of them 'may be expressed and talked over and adjusted. If the farmer has a complaint to make, then the subject he brings up Is openly discussed and every one present is allowed his say or hers. In this way, they tell us. many difficulties have been satisfactorily worked out.

Last Summer bands of young women under the alluring title of. farmerettes" went to the country and took Up their abode for the express nurnose of helDlna? the tamers to turn out their Bummer worn. Ttey went by no urgent Invitation of the farmers. Quite the contrary, the women themselves banded together to supply what they saw was going to he sn insistent demand. Tho girls formed themselves Into units and went out under the guidance of a chaperons who set up housekeeping for them In ome neighborhood where there was bound to.be a lot of work to be done.

Then the girls hired out at so much per day and helped to do the farm labor as it fell due. The farmers at first, and re skeptical. But the men a lot of jem-were off to the war. The crops Mi to be cultivated and harvested. The Vrls were there.

They went st th game with spirit. It seemed also that a cheer- ful competition set In with th male worker, who remained. At night girl and boy farm hands would meet at the Rarest soda fountain and the talk would turn to the daily taak. The girls had helled more beans probably ejian had the boys. Could It be possible? Well, boy.

would show them the next day nd so they did. The Women's Land Army Is sending more unit this Summer, and girls are running into th business because "ey from their own experience the experiences of others, that it IH Improve their health and that it lead to better undertakings for lr life's work, in short, farm work mployment ha come to be a serious life work with many women who find their natural and well-directed nergl lead them that way. Th question arises, there be nough all-the-year-round Jobs to III the mand that will shortly be created by omen workers if their activities In this direction go on as they have begun? Aa the answer is that there Is every evidence that as the applicants for positions fin th market, more and. mor wsitlons are created for them to fllL re Is the story of a girl who saw farming as the goal of all her aspirations and of how she carried out the detail of the work that has developed her "to successful fsrmer. Her grandfather, she aald.

On day this liri grandchild, came to the age when she must step out Into th world, to earn ft. uviog.

4 nere was nothing she wanted to do, though sho was a strong. husky creature and capable of great things, she looked around ati all the 1 pursuit her friends and associates ana there was nothing that attracted Rather than Join the ranks of the do-nothinga, at which aha was distinctly ot one. sho up th study- of kin dergarten teaching.

not occurred to her or to any one elso that Jthls might be her calling- in Ufa, for girls did not usually do such things unless perhaps they had the misfortune to be farmers'- wives. She went with th first group of armer- ettes, and the first, moment that she struck the farm she. knew instinctively that the work was hers as an Inborn right. She stuck to her position all, that -Summer and by Fall ah had made' arrangements to go to sn agricultural college and to specialize on the subject of poultry raising. That looked to her like a nice ladylike branch ot the profession and on where surely she would be able to obtain a position without too much barrier to overcome In the Way of a prejudice in th direction of man labor She took a position, at th end of the college, term, on rather a show farm where th poultry must 'needs be.

But then." she explained, you know men aren't so awfully careful about housekeeping. and no one could expect them to keep a chicken house any better than they had their own." AU through that hardest of cold Winters she cared for the chickens of all ages, and at, the end of her two years In that, position she had brought the place to a condition of which ah herself was truly proud. During that tlm had working under her two halt-grown boy who were Just starting, out to.

Part-of th serious scheme of her af fair was to tach them her and of the farming gama in the very best manner possible. She would pot have them go on with their Uvea fortified by any- slip shod notions about the details of poultry raising. If tbey turned out to be bad ohjpken housekeepers it would be no fault of hers, Well," at the end of -those two years she felt that her farming Interests. which by time had become very vital and real to her, must be enlarged.

and she promptly took the money she had saved to enroll for a new course on general farming. Most Intelligently she absorbed the information laid before her, because she had. by this time, ac quired a background. Then she set about the business of finding a Job one meant for an Intel ligent farmer. Ther war i prophecies about her chances.

It was all rery well for a woman to undertake the menial duties of farming. There was room for her there, but when it came, to position of why, there a man would be needed every tme. She was not dauntad. -She ha been offered, at th present writing, a position to manage a dairy farm 'with twenty-two men under her supervision, and It stands for her to take It or refuse It. aa she see fit.

MAN'S feet are divided into three distinct ground-plan shapes. Your feet, for instance, are either Inflare, Straight or Outflare feet.

Science makes this very plain and simple. Just see the American Posture League's foot-charts shown herewith. The American Posture League This National Health Organization numbers among its members many of America's foremost orthopedic surgeons, doctors, physical trainers and school hygienists. Better posture for better health and greater efficiency is their motto. The scientific facts built into this wonderful new Trupedic Shoe were discovered by th American Posture League after long investigation and research.

They are based on the League's atudy and measurement of the feet of men of many races, nations and classes the world over.
