FARMERS' WIVES ARM
THKIFTY INDIVIDUALS
Do Thirty-Four Per Cent of Hie Out*
door Work on tho Farm, Accord
ing to Stat'.stirs
That the farm housewife of the
state of Washington is a thrifty little
soul is brought out in statistics re
cently compiled from a survey taken
in four coon ties of the state by the
extension department of Washington
State College.
The survey is a part of a nation
wide plan through the state college*
of the United States by the states'
relation service, for which the testl
money of 10,000 farm women of the
country was secured.
The farm housewife of Washing
ton does 34 per cent of the outdoor
work on a farm, 75 per cent of the
housework, 26 per cent, of the rec
ord keeping, and in return receives
10 per cent of the money made from
the farm, according to tha analysis
made from the figures by Miss
Maude Wilson, state home demon
stration leader of the extension serv
ice of Washington State Colli
The counties of Washington in which
the survey was made were typical
farming sections of the state, includ- .
ing Spokane, Clark, Thurston and
King counties.
To follow the farm woman's work
through one day during the summer
would be a continuous 11-hour per
iod of daily toil with 1.23 hours for
rest.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY
night be gained through a brief out
line of a farm woman's duties. She
must not only be a cook, seamstress,
laundress, nurse and factor In com
munity life, but a producer of dairy,
garden and poultry products and
a record keeper. In the winter, her
outside duties are not so heavy and
her work day is cut to 12.27 hours
! with 2.14 hours of rest.
Of the farm women of Washing
ton, 2E i per cent have vacations
averaging 11.4 days during the year.
In comparison with the avert
farm women of the United States.
the Washington farm wife has long-
I ci hours of work, the average woman
I working 1.1.12 hours and resting 1.8
i hours a day during the summer, and
working 10.2 hours, and resting 2.4
j hours a day during the winter
months.
And what are her rewards? Af
ter her 14 hours a day of outside
work, household duties, record keep
[ ing, and marketing, she receives 10
■ per cent of the money made on the
farm. The figures show that 10.98
per cent have their butter money,
I 18.67 per cent their poultry money,
and 19.5 per cent have egg money.

! Kit.' NET PROFIT
FOR CI.I'D MEMBERS
The annual report of F. 1..
Mid rain, state club leader, shows '
that for the year 1920, just closing,
tic total cost of club work in Wash- :
ington has been $.14,158; and that,
for this year, the net profits of club I
members is $70,308.40.
Only 60 per cent of the total club
membership reported to the leaders
and the figures given are based on
these reports.
The per capita earnings of the
club members for this year are
$22.24. Last year they were $21.52.
The increasing Interest is evi
denced by the rising percentage in
the number of hoys and girls who re
port their achievements to the lead
ers. In 1918, 29 per cent of the club
members reported. In 1919, 37 per
cent reported. This year, 1920, 50
per cent reported.
I The clubs include those engaged
in poultry and rabbit production,
hog raising, gardening, potato grow
ing, corn growing, sheep raising, and
other lines of farm activity. The
work of the girls centers around
home activity —cooking, sewing, and
so on. Many of the girls are good
gardeners also. Others raise rab
hits, orphan lambs, and chickens.

APPLIES STATE COLLEGE
PLAN IN SERBIA
D. V. Steykovitch Uses Knowledge
Gathered Here During Visit
This Fall
A letter from D. C. Steykovitch,
chief of the bureau of agricultural
economics of the Department of Ag
riculture, Belgrade, Serbia, to Dean
E. C. Johnson of the college of agri
culture, states that boys' and girls'
agricultural clubs are now being or
ganized in Serbia, under the same
general plan as the clubs are organ
ized in this state and throughout the
United States. Mr. Stoykovitch vis
ited the college of agriculture this
fall for information concerning the
college and the extension service. He
has applied the plans used in this
country for beef clubs, garden clubs,
etc., to wheat clubs, as wheat is one
of the principal crops of Serbia.
