Wife Needs To Consider Costs
Of Working Outside The Home
Does it pay a wife to work
outside the home? Some women
view the extra paycheck as
secondary to their sense of ac
complishment, putting satisfac
tion in a job well done as then
main reason for working, says

How to increase yields and profits
with sidedress anhydrous ammonia
Nitrogen requirements for
corn increase rapidly in pro
portion to higher yields.
Weather conditions also af
fect needs for nitrogen.
Wise use of nitrogen fertil
izer can add to the advan
tages of favorable weather,
just as it can help obtain
highest possible yields in a
dry weather season.
Timely sidedressing
A timely sidedressing of an
hydrous ammonia can offset
any existing plant nitrogen
deficiency under most
weather conditions. Plants
supplied adequate nitrogen
can stretch the supply of
available water in the soil.
Nitrogen is no substitute for water. But adequate ni
trogen can help the plant to use water more efficiently.
Recent research shows that a high yielding crop uses
only slightly more water than a low yielding one.
expenses incurred just because
you took a job?
How about costs for transpor
tation, lunches, banquets, coffee
breaks, union or piofessional
dues, and special clothing for
the job’ Your paycheck begins
to dwindle when you’ve consid
ered these costs.
Added expense comes in new
clothes and regular hair ap
pointments to help keep you
looking your best for the job, re

penses must be subtracted
Since you’ll be away from home
more of the time, you might
have to hire household help and
laundry service. If you have pre
school children, what you pay a
babysitter will take some of
your paycheck as will take
home dinners and dinners
away from home And don’t for
get that you have to pay income
tax on your earnings.
After you’ve made these cal
culations, your expenses are
about average if they total 35
to 40 percent of youi earnings,
or as much as 50 percent if
you hire a babysitter.
