SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1V Vv . i. i , . - OJ ? , Weekly : $1 a Year. A Special Message to Farmers' Wives and Daughters ,V1 V TO THE farmers', wives and daughters who read The Progressive Farmer the young wives, the .older women and the; girls in their teens, ior one. ana au oi tnem we, nave now- a special ana a welcome message. That message is that we have definitely set about making The Progressive Farm er as good a paper for the farm woman as it is already for the farm man. That has long been one of our unfilled ambitions, but it is now to be a fulfilled ambition. To begin with, we have secured the ser vices of Mrs. W. N. Hutt, one of the fore most authorities on domestic science in America and one of the best known lecturers, at farm women's institutes, as Editor of our Home Circle or Women's Department. Mrs. Hutt is a woman who has endeared herself to thousands and thousands of farm women in North Caro lina, Alabama and other Southern States by her work at farm women's institutes and as a writer on women's work. Thoroly informed, able, skilful, sympa thetic, not so much a teacher and speaker as a warm-hearted friend and sister to the farm women who need advice and infor mation, she wins their hearts, as well as their , intellectual confidence. She has given nearly all her life to ,a study of problems of housekeeping and domestic science and women's work the farm women's problems just as her husband, Prof. W. N. Hutt of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, has also given his time to a study of the problems affecting the farmer himself. The department however, it should be remembered, will not be Mrs. Hutt's own department, but rather a department by, for, and of all our Progressive Farmer women with Mrs. Hutt as guide and leader. ,The department belongs to all the. women who read The Pro- : gressive Farmer, and we want all to unite to make it the best women's department in any farm paper in America. In short, we would say to every farmer's wife and farmer's daughter in The Progressive Farmer - Family: ' We want you to feel that you are partners in the department, responsible for its success, ready to help others by the suggestions you give as well as to be helped by the suggestions you get. . In short, we want you to feel that this is one great sisterhood, first, for doing your daily work better thru .better cooking, and better sew ing and better housekeeping, and for getting all the inspiration and pride'that comes thru doing "everyday work with science and know ledge to help you, the inspiration that comes thru knowing the best methods and why they are the best. Secondly, we wish to be a great sisterhood for better home-making as well as better housekeeping for better training of children, for more beauty and music and games and reading and comradeship and aspiration in the family circle, for the financial and social partnership of husband and wife and children, and also for helping our farm girls and young women solve their problems and develop right ideals of life and of home-making. And finally, we 4 Vi - SL If ' MRS. W. N. HUTT, Who Will Edit Our Home Circle Department. wish to be a sisterhood for making community life richer and country social life more satisfying, a league wherein our country women may work -together for neighborhood clubs and social meetings, better schools, better churches, better roads, better public health work, more women's institutes and more libraries and lyceums and reading clubs and all the agencies of a fuller social and intellectual life. Tfeis isa big program, of course, but it is not too big for the thousands of progressive, wide-awake farm women and farmers' daughters who read The Pro gressive Farmer. Write us your ideas, suggestions, experiences, methods; your ambitions, your plans, your questions and problems everything affecting the Souths ern farni woman's life or. work. Let's make it a great "Help One Another Club" as the farm men have already made the other features of The Progressive Farmer. All letters will be welcomed and handled as quickly as possible, all questions about women's work will be promptly answered by Mrs, Hutt, . and every woman's letter we publish will be paid for, while for the best letter each. week we shall give a special prize of $2. Mrs. Hutt's first article will appear next week, but you need not wait till then to begin your co operation.
