"The Woman Farmer Has Come to Stay," De?

"Hired Women" Has Made Her
Prefer Them to "Hired Men."

By Lucy Huffaker.
IS THE hired man of the farm t
give way to the hired woman?
I? (he time at hand when the worn?
farmer will bo no more of a curiosity
than the woman teacher or the womai
stenographer ?
Those questions mai* seem prepo?
terous on readinjr them. But the?
wouldn't ?-ound that way !f you hat
talked with Mrs. Susan H. Vollmer, ai
she showed you her farm out on Lons
Island And, ns she points out, the
several hundred members of the Worn
an's National Agricultural and Horti?
cultural Association which held it
first annual conference in the Botan?
ical Gardens of Bronx Park yesterday
prove that the woman farmer has
already come. That she has come to
stay. Mr?. Vollmer is certain.
It ii eight years since Mrs. Voll?
mer began to farm. In those years she
has learned many things besides the
best way to rotate crops and the most
approved methods of fertilizing land.
She ha? proved to her own satisfaction
and most certainly to that of any
one who interviews her on the subject
-that there is no reason why a wom?
an shouldn't be just as good a farmer
as a man; perhaps just a little more so.
"I've had hired men work for me,
and I've had hired women," said Mrs.
Vollmer as we sat on her shaded porch
and looked off over her fields, "and at
the risk of being flooded uith appli?
cants for work when I have none to
(rive, being perfectly satisfied with the
m?n who are working for me this sea?
son, I will say that I prefer women to
men as farm workers. I have five
helprrr. and I've been farming only
eight years, so I realize, of course, that
from the standpoint of a statistician I
have r.ri proof of what I say. But the
fact that I have found women such
good farmers does prove, it seems to
me, that proficiency in farming doe3
not depend upon sex.
Succe?*? Not Dependent on Brawn
Alone.
"The old belief was that farming is,
such heavy work that a woman could
not do it. There was a day perhaps
when tha* was true. But the modern
'.rmer dur? not depend for success on
brawn alore. He, or she, tried to make
the head sa-.o the hand and the heel.
rhe bos* farmer is not necessarily the
one who does the most heavy work.
Perhaps it is ,'ust because a woman is
not as strong as a man that she has i

"Now I'm not saying that farmir

"It is interesting to ?oe the num

of g"ing back to the land to make their
living. A year or so ago I addressee
the rrirls of Smith College on the sub
ject of farming for women. When 1

But after that talk, a number of girls

"Many girls who want to farm don't

Is to become hired women on a farm.
Then they will get their experience at
some one else's expense. I sometimes

Cr?am Colors for Filmy Summsr Frocks
But That Term Applies to Tones Almost White as Well
as to Tones Almost Yellow.
C-?IREAM tones are to be the craze
. during the coming summer.
Cream color is an ela?tic term,
it.rluding various shades between one
not quite white to one which barely
escapes being yellow. A beautiful gown
in cream hued net and filet lace has
a skirt, dipping at sides and back,
which is banded about the hips' base
with a seli-ruffle headed by a br<ad
puffing. Almost to the top of that
puffing falls a deeper flounce, starting
at the waist, and flattened by a broad ,
strip of filet. This lace strip, extend
in.* to the skirt's hem, forms a full
length back janel, partly concealed by
the short ends of a sash in king blue
moire ribbon, which, although broadly
encircling the waist, Is so low-dropp*d
that long lines are given to the upper
portion of the figure.
Pands of filet, starting at the neck
end of the shoulders, cross on the bust
and run uncer the arms to meet low
at the back, where they simulate a
bodice on the blouse, whose plainly set
in sleeves stop at the elbows under
bands of puffing. Viewed from the rear,
these short sleeves are contradicted by
a collar so high that its upper edge
comes well above the hairline, while its
lower limit comes several inchc? below
th? neck's line. Made of two distinct
frills, which merely touch at back
centre, the collar covers the neck only
as far as the ears, ends on (he snoul
ilrr?? and exrtniei the throat ahnv?. the

Kuller Flounces Effective.
i allot, who has always favored
?hades of cream, has just sent over a
charming model in tulle-veiled radium
carving skilfully applied touches of
I lace. Gathered to ue ?alitbacd o? ta?
r
skirt is a hip-deep tulle flounce whic
overlaps a second flounce droppin
halfway to the knees at front. At th
sides both flounces begin to lengthen
but so grailually that their d:fforence a
the back is not particularly marked
This drooping effect is repeated by i
sash in tilleul and black moire startini
at front, on the waist's normal line, bu
dropping on the sides and joining a
the hips' base over the skirt's back
Forming the --ole garnishing of thi
bodice is a wide collar in lace, shirrec
and dropping to a deep point at fronl
and back, and applied to outline i
slightly rounded neck. Lace is spplier
to the sleeves to produce a point?e
effect, where they ?top at the elbows
again repeating the peculiar drooping
characteristic of the model.
Filet Lace.
Filet lace sppears so frequently
among the new creations that who?
ever has any of it remsining from
other days will do well to utilize it
now. The lovely mesh, deeply creamed,
trims a model in batiste whose salient
feature is a polonais? with long, rather
close sleeves, and a high standing
collar covering the back and sides of
the neck. The lace trims the collar,
provides the deep cuffs, the bodice over
which the polonaise opens and the
band which encircles it about the hips.
But it is most effective as a deep
ecallop-edged bordering for the long
o?-or-pjirm? nt and as a flounce on the
side-pleated ?kir?. With this costume
goes an all-black hat trimmed with
a pair of slender plumes. One of
these feathers stands upright, while

Mrs. Vollmer he.s a room in hr

i big business-like desk is a card inde

"This room looks like that of a busi
j ness woman," I said tactlessly.
? realized just how foolish that remarl
1 was when Mrs. Vollmer said sirnph
j "Why, of course it is. I am a husines
? woman. My business is farming."
Emboldened by her statement tha
farming was a business. I asked Mr?
| Vollmer if she would say what re*urr
on one's investment a woman could ex
! peet from farming.
Return I'ncertaln at First.
"I wish I could tell that, but I can't,*
she answered. "Of course, th? re'urr
depends on so many things. One yeai
there may be a good and the next a
poor one. And in my case, I have don*
other things, too. When I decided
aft?r twelve years of teaching in New
York that I could not go on with that
j work, I hmi some money, which I in
, vested in this farm. I had had no ex
1 perier.ce in farming an<i my capital
I was small. So I deemed to have what
| I call a 'week-end sanatorium.' I began
to take hoarders for week-ends only.
I could do that without the expense of
extra h?lp, and of course, as I set my
table with things producd right here
on the place, there was a good profit.
Then mv sister who lives with me has
a little jam kitchen and ?ells thousands
of jars of jellies and jams each year,
made from the fruit on the place. And
' each winter, when there is nothing to
be done here which I cannot leave to
a man who lives on the place, I go to
Florida, where I have a business buy?
ing and shipping grapefruit nnd or?
anges.
"So you see I have not depended al?
together on the farm. I couldn't do it
in the beginning. I felt that I must
make the house earn for me as well
as the land. A number of women to
whom I have talked about farming have j
exclaimed with something like horror:
I -=77-77- ?? -
'Oh, I don't want to take boarde
But it seems to me that a farm worn
living anywhere near the city c
make a good profit by receiving wo?
en?l boarders. Later it may be i
necessary to do it, but just at the fir
w-hen all her money is tied up in t
farm, it seems to me a good plan.
"And if ;. woman can have sol
work which brings her money in t
dull months, it will b? of great adva
tage to her, also. Unless there is
gieat deal of stock to be cared f(
there is little for a farmer to do in t
winter."
Not the Business for a Lazy Wnma
"It doesn't seem to be a business f
a lazy woman," I said. That rema:
was wiser than some of the others,
had made. F'or Mrs. Vollmer sa
heartily: "Indeed it isn't. But I dor
know many lines of work in which
lazy person can succeed, do you? 1
regard to that matter of a return o
one's investment, it seems to me fror
my experience that I have made s
much money as I would have done b
putting my capital in any other bus
ness. For, in addition to any cash r<
turn, I have had my home and my Hi
ing. And another thing which must b
taken into consideration is the fa<
that land values aro increasing all th
time. It won't be long before goo
land everywhere will be so scarce tha
it will cost much more than it doe
to-day. So the steady increase of Ian
value must be taken ccount of whei
figuring on profits.
"I've had a number of teachers am
other professional women ask me abou
the advisabili'y of farming. As I say
I dislike to take the responsibility o
deciding such things, but in a genera
way I would say that if a woman is
willing to work and has any aptitude ai
all for farming it seems to me much
wiser to do it than to grow old teach?
ing or working in an office. I know
I'm glad I realized that there was lit

"The loneliness of farm life is dis?
agreeable to many women. It must be
taken into consideration by a woman
before she decides to farm. But to-day,
with telephones and trolleys, the wom?

used to be. And the woman farmer
may even hope to have her own auto?

HEALTH CRUSADE
REACHES SUBWAY
Number of Passengers To Be
Limited, Except in
Rush Hours.
The Board of Health yesterday ex?
tended its overcrowding crusade to
the subway and ordered the Inter
borough, through its president, Theo?
dore P. Shonts, not to carry more than
one and one-half times the seating
capacity of each ear, except in rush
hours.
Forty inspectors have been investi?
gating the overcrowding of cars for
several weeks. They reported that
packed cars "are dangerous and preju- ?
dicial to the health of the passengers."
The board's resolution says it is well
established that "communicable dis?
eases are spread through contact with
infected persons," and that pneumonia,
influenza and bronchitis germs often
find new homes in the sabway.
It is the belief of the board that
there is unnecessary overcrowding in
the subway. The resolution states
that the number of germs liberated in
the crush increases in great propor?
tion with the size of the crowd. For
that reason the Health Department de?
clares that overcrowding is a public
nuisance.
Mr. Shonts has asked the Health
Department to co-operate in enforcing
a mandatory order issued to the Sixth
Avenue mrface line. He said the line
was running the maximum number of
cars, and that it was impossible to
1 eject passengers to comply with the
order. He suggested that the depart?
ment put policemen on the cars,

PEKINGESE DOGS
AT HOLLAND HOUSE
Club Holds First Informal Match
?Goodwood Kwanglec
Best in Show.
The first informal match of the
Pekingese Club of America was held '
on Thursday afternoon in the gilt room
of the Holland House, with thirty-two
dogs of high degree on the benches.
This is the first informal ma'eh of the
kind ever held by the club, and it i?
probable these affairs will be continued
every week hereafter.
One of the features of the meeting,
and one that promises to have a far
reaching effect, was the selection of a
novice judge to adjudicate in the ?how
ring. Believing that many more com?
petent judges of Pekes should be de?
veloped in this country, the officers of
the club have decided to afford the
novices a chance to make the awards in
tail class of dogs.
Mrs. Charles Bishop, owner of the
Bishopgate Kennels, was nominated as
the first novice, and she ably performed
the duties assigned her. Mrs. A. Me
Clure Halley and Mrs. Frank T. Clarke
were appointed to criticize the award?
made by Mrs. Bishop, but they had
nothing but praise for her work.
.luilging by the attendance at yester
day'a initial match, the Pekingese CluS
will make a great success in its new
venture, much of the credit for which
is due to the untiring efforts of Mrs
Carl Ehlerman, jr., who was one of the
moving spirits In the matter.

"What is the average teacher doing
for the troublesome boy or girl In
her class?" Alexander Kaminsky, su?
perintendent of the Jewish Big

average teacher a big sister to her
class, or isn't she? Does she regard
the lazy or disobedient children as
opportunities or plagues?"
"She's an instructor, not a soeial
worker," I commented.
"But oughtn't she be a social
worker?" Mr. Kaminsky insis'ed. "If
she hasn't the social worker's point of
view can she be a really good
toacher'''' !
"She could be yesterdav." I replied;
"she may be to-day. bu* she certsinly
won't be to-morrow. The tescher of
to-morrow will bo required to know
the community and the children whom
she is preparing for citizenship.
"But we shan't get such teachers
from our present training schools.

girls to teach the three R's and the
three frills, sewing, music a-id draw?
ing.
"Go to the Board of Education." I
I ur?ed, "and ask them to require two
I years' service, of one evening a week.
as a big brother or sister of every
t student in the training schools."
"That would enable us to deal far
more effectively with the so-ealled
'bad' boys and girls of the city," said
1 Mr. Kaminsky.
"Jack Smith would not he 'the boy
who won't learn,' he would Ye 'the boy
1 who lives with a family of fve in two
