And if she got regular wages, as the hired girl does or the day laborer, who would earn the farm in a few years, she or the farmer? The Home Economics Department of the Nebraska State University has been figuring at this problem, and presents some rather startling results, In a nutshell, the conclusion is that Mrs. Farmer, that is the ordinary Mrs. Farmer, earns about $4,000 a year, and as Mr. Ordinary Farmer's profits do not amount to more than in a few years the lady, if she got fair wages in money for her services, would own the that, place. First of all, she is the cook. She gets three meals a day. She has no after- noon out. She is expected to be on the job all the time, and usually is. Sometimes she gets in the flivver with friend husband and goes over to spend the day with the Perkinses, but she has to cook up enough for the hired men before she goes, and ‘‘red” up the house when she gets back. Or ogee in a while she may climb into the spring wagon behind the span of mules and ride to town with her man to buy sup- plies. And there's an occasional camp- meeting, chautauqua or picnic. When she goes to church see brings the preacher or some neighbor's family home to dinner, and works all afternoon feeding them. When she is tired of this she can go to bed, ‘which she has to make for herself. Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman of the department which made the survey, says that services as cook are worth at least $10 a week. The gentle reader might try to hire a cook for $10 a week and see how easy it is, Especially to induce said cook to go into the country, Secondly, the farmer's wife does the washing and ironing. As comparative ly few farmers’ wives have washing ma- chines, it takes one day to wash the things out by hand and another tull day to iron them. This work is worth at least $2.50 a day, or $5.00 a week, If you don't be lieve it suppose you try to hire some woman to go into the country two days a week and work over a washtub and ironing board for $5.00. Statistics show, in the third place, that there are on an average nineteen days of sickness per year on each farm. On these days the farmer's wife turns nurse. For this, says Miss Fedde, she ought to have $25.00 a week, which is the regular wage of a nurse in the coun- try. or $75.00 a year, Then, she is seamstress. Any sew- ing that is to be done on the place; she does. And usually at night, after work- ing sixteen hours during the day. after which she has nothing to do until morn- ing. Credit her then also with $6.00 a week as sewing woman, To make a long story short, ‘you must add to the above items Mrs. Farmer's wages due as scrub-woman, window- cleaner, manager of the hennery and dairy, fruit packer and canner, and so on. Besides which she ought to get paid farmer goes to her with all his problems and she saves him many a dollar by his sound sense, Also she is nurse girl, governess and teacher for the children, which in tiself is job enough for two men, For all this the Nebraska University Commission thinks she is worth $4,090 a year, She does not get it, . A good deal of the time she is like (Continued on next column) @ I I. BIG ATHLELIC DAY FOR Bellefonte to be Host to All High School Pupils on Saturday, April 30th.
