early to bed.

She states that the average working day of the farm wife is 11.3 hours the year around, but in summer her working day is 13.12 hours. She presents all this as a general proposition, considering farm homes "in the mass". This young woman thinks that the farmers' wives and daughters are as much In need, and are as much entitled to a vacation as are any women on the footstool, particularly the mothers. To this we will unanimously agree. At the same time we must admit 'that now and again a "downtrodden' larmcr should be permitted a fishing or hunting vacation, or a trip to the mountains or sea. On these mountain, seaside, or summer resort trips, he will naturally and dutifully take his wife, if not the whole family. But that is another story we were speaking of vacations for the Missus; of her visits home to see mother, or Martha, her sister, who married and "moved away. In such cases the farmer himself can go hang. It isn't his vacation, anyway. Has Very Little Leisure. Miss Florence Ward, in charge of 'extension work with women, represents the Department of Agriculture at

Washington. Her "Burvey" covers 10,015 homes, in 33 northern and western states. Much of her data was obtained by home demonstration agents, representing agricultural colleges and the department at Washington, as field agents. Miss Ward summarizes by stating that half of the farm women are up and at work at 5 o'clock of mornings; that they have but 1.6 hours of leisure in summer and only 2.4 hours in 'winter. Moreover, the average farm iWife has a seven room house to keep in order. Only 40 per cent of farm homes have water in the kitchen, in the remainder the good wife must trot jout to the spring or pump for all the (water used in the home. Helping Their Husbands. According to Miss Ward CO per cent of our farm women have churning to do, they have most of the feeding and care of the poultry on their hand, and, fcurprlsiiig statement. "24 per cent of them spend more than six weeks In the year assisting in some part of the field work." They also help in the rare of live stock, doing feeding, bedOing, etc. Should the farmer's wife have an annual vacation; a real breathing Fpell amid new and different surroundings? Certainly. But Miss Ward has discovered that but 13 out of 100 do have these vacations, more's the pity. There are so many reasons why this going away isn't possible in millions of farm homes. So many women are content to rest in the shade at home In fervid days, and to use the phone In visiting. Needlessly Wasted Efforts The "survey" discloses the time pent on kerosene lamps, the need for modern kitchen and laundry convenience. "The engine used at the well or barn should be hooked up to the churn, the washer and some lighting

machinery." City women rebel at

marrying farmers and sequestering themselves away from friends, with po much to do and so little but main strength to accomplish with, according to Miss Ward, and she ought to know.

She overlooks the fact that the automobile has brought the town to the

farm; that the farm wife and children

often have vacation trips to town, and

ncross the country for miles, visiting

friends, seeing new villages or cities

for the days of isolation in the older

nnd settled country have vanished, because the old order changeth. But

there are still a million lonely spots where farm homes have been set up, In our broad domain. Two Sides to the Picture. Miss Ward's sensible conclusion is that there are two sides to the picture. She tells of the "blessing and satisfaction of living in the open country" and says that the average farm woman is more fortunately placed than is her average city sister. In this, most of the women on our farms will agree. Farm life has many

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

HENRY FARMERS TO

FACE GAR SHORTAGE

On the eve of the threshing season Henry county farmers are facing a

Berious car shortage which can prob

ably be averted only by the farmers

storing their gxaYi in the granaries at their homes, according to word tram Newcastle. The question which Henry county farmers and grain dealers are facing Is that about 90 per cent, of the crop for the year must be shipped out of the county and to do this it will require between 300 and 400 cars more than are now available. The grain men of the county eay that it will mean that most of the farmers will have to store their wheat at home. The mills and elevators of the county will be able to store about 10 per cent, of the total wheat crop of the county. The other 90 per cent, of this year's crop must be shipped from the county and with the threshing season almost here the elevator men torecast, a serious car shortage. The elevators of the county each receive two cars a month and it is thought that the total number of cars that can be secured in this manner will not amount to over 40 cars. The Farmers' federation took up the stock car shortage some time ago

ana it is thought that the work done in this connection has been successful. The federation will do some work on the shortage of grain cars but it is thought that the best solution to this difficulty will be in storing the grain. There was a shortage in grain cars last year but elevator men declare that it much more acute this year.

Richard Morrow, of Wayne town

ship, says that last week while he was up to his waist In wheat on his Ohio farm, a bland and genial hog buyer offered him $16 for a choice lot of hogs, of which he Is feeding 200 headMr. Morrow felt that he was too everlasting busy Just then to .sort and load hogs, so no sale was made. He says that his Ohio wheat looks like 20 bushels but was damaged some by midge and not likely to be of top grade. That is also true of much of

the grain In that neighborhood, which will be "only fair quality." Farmers will be interested to know that a car of No. 4 new winter wheat was sold from the sample table in Chicago on Wednesday, at $2.87. Wheat Harvest Completed. The wheat harvest is practically completed in the Campbellstown district, which had its share of delay from rain. No threshing has yet been done, but will begin some day next week, according to Darrell Swisher,

elevator owner at that point. Mr. Swisher says that no hail struck Campbellstown, but did some damage about 1 miles north. Timothy a Good Crop. "Practically all the wheat In the Economy district is In shock, except that which is left to stand until timothy Is ready as a seed crop. Then both will be threshpd. I am letting my wheat stand. The timothy is a good crop, the wheat thin, and there are other farmers in the same fix."

is the report of W. E. Oler. Mr. Oler says their wheat Isn't anything to brag about, though now and then one finds a field that looks like 20 to 30 bushels. Corn is In good condition and growing fast; oats are doing well. Are Through With Wheat. Lawson Sanford, at Cottage Grove, says all the wheat is cut and threshers are fixing to begin operations next week, if there Is no rain to delay them. "The crop is fair, and the acreage about the same as in 1919, I Judge. We are expecting a fair oat crop and a whole lot of corn, unless we strike a long dry spell."
