WHY BOYS AND GIRLS
LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
Mist Bernlce Carter Make Practical
Suggestions at to How the Trou-
ble May Be Remedied.
Movement after movement to de-
feat the rapid removal of boys and
glrla fro mthe rurar districts to the
city have been started; remedy after
remedy for this condition has been ad-
vanced: Many of these movements
and remedies have been practical and
others absurd; but Miss Bernlce Car-
ter assistant In charge of girls' club
work In Texas working Jointly with
the United States department of agri
culture and the Extension department
of the A .and M. College says there
Is something more than the gay lights
and the alluring life of the city that
Is attracting the boys and girls from
the farm. '
And Miss Carter knows. She was
born on a farm and reared there un
til she went away to college. She
says that there Is something wrong at
- the average farm home- and until that
something is remedied that boys and
grls will- be dissatisfied with home life
and will go to the cities. "Make the
farm home life as attractive as the
city home life Is supposed to be; feed
the boys and girls better food; bright-
en up the house lift some of the
heavy drudgery from their shoulders
Improve their educational advantages
make the boys feel that a farmers
work Is a man's work and the girl feel
that a farmer's wife Is a high and
noble position; then and not until
and not until then you will find a big
percentage of the boys and girls will
remain at home becoming the farm-
ers and farmers' wives of the future."
Those are some of the ideas advanced
by Mlss'Carter.
Miss Carte was born on a farm. She
had ample opportunity to observe
some o fthehardshl ps of girls and
boys who were less fortunate and liv-
ed on tenant farms. "I saw something
of the hardships they endured and I
know Just how barren of pleasure
their lives were" she said. "Walls
In many Instances were papered with
newspapers by some energetic and
progressive girl. Those girls were
not to be satisfied long with the home-
life they lived. Their fathers and
mothers walked the same paths day
in and year ouf. Meals were the
same the year around and the only
real Joy they experienced was when a
picnic was held a singing given or
Speaking of making sud-
den changes did you ever
want to heat up a room
in a hurry? Perhaps you overslept. Per-
chance the alarm did not ring. You "are in a

some other attraction that always led
them away from home.".
And It was In theme early days that
Miss Carter decided to do something
for the girl on the farm And so two
years ago while she wag astudnt In
the State Normal at Denton she was
made' county supervisor for Denton
County girls' canning clubs . In her
two years there the exhibit prepared
by her girls won first prize at Dallas
at the State Fair and at the Waco
Cotton Palace. In that exhibit were
250 varieties of canned fruits and veg-
etables grown and canned by Denton
County girls. In the homes repre-
sented by these girls canned fruits
and vegetables were available for the
table at all seasons of the year.
Recently Miss Bettie Rogers assis-
tant state agent In charge of girls
club work resigned. "We want a
young woman who is capable and
thoroughly In sympathy with the
work who knows conditions" said
the TTIted States department of agri-
culture. "So do we" chimed in the
officials of the A. and M. College ex-
tension department." And Miss Car-
ter was the logical person.
The work of these clubs has al-
ready been extended to fourteen new
counties making a total of thirty-two
counties now instructing girls In the
production of fruits and vegetables
and in canning them. Not only are
the girls taught an Important feature
of good housekeeping but they have
shown their fathers and mothers a
new avenue to successful farming.
One of these girls Miss Annie Davis
of Jefferson grew and canned enough
tomatoes on one-tenth of an acre to

of this girl's work. But listen. In ad-

cost of fertilizer rent on the one-
tenth of an acre and every other ex-

cleared $89.45; pretty nice for a girl
on one-tenth of an acre. Moreover
she won In prizes $107.50 and a trip
