Our organizations handled 2,500 carloads of Yakima Fruit last ssason. Hundreds of growers 

 have joined our movement and we already have under contract a much larger proportion 

 of Yakima tonnage than ever before. Additional tonnage is coming to us daily. We have 

 a large proportion of the fruit in the early districts — therefore we can load the early 

 assorted cars— money-makers for the trade and the growers.

Then he went outside and pointed to 

 the gasoline vehicles, the motor pump, 

 the utilized water power, the examples 

 of ways in which the up-to-date farmer 

 made machinery do 90 per cent of the 

 work that the men used to do. 



"Think it over," he said with a grin. 

 "How much of all your machinery is 

 being used to help your wife? How 

 much better off is she than the farmer's 

 wife of fifty years ago? And think of 

 how much less work you have to do 

 than would have been necessary even 

 twenty years ago. Is it fair?" 



At the San Diego Exposition they 

 have a building called the "Home 

 Economy Building," which is calcu- 

 lated to show that drudgery is not 

 necessary: that invention, which has 

 brought about the mechanical speed of 

 farming, has also brought about the 

 mechanical speed of housekeeping. In 

 one section of the Exposition grounds 

 is located the model bungalow which 

 is equipped with motors which operate 

 the kitchen, the laundry, the sewing 

 machine, the cleaning apparatus for 

 floors, windows, walls and furniture. 

 This exhibit does much in the way of 

 showing us how to keep the girl on 

 the farm.

 twenty-six members and growers at- 

 tended the election. 



The Fruitgrowers' Wife 



Don't waste time scrubbing a sink 

 with scouring powder. The use of 

 kerosene is more efficient and will not 

 hurt the enamel. 



A zinc-covered table in the kitchen 

 will save work for the housewife. A 

 zinc cover is easily put on and needs 

 only to be wiped off. 



The kitchen should be arranged so 

 as to eliminate unnecessary steps. A 

 very good idea is to have a shelf over a 

 table within easy reach and the utensils 

 that are the most often used hanging 

 underneath, and on the shelf the condi- 

 ments, salt, etc., and such other mate- 

 rials as are used in cooking. 



For those who have electricity in 

 their homes a motor attachment to the 

 sewing machine will do much to sim- 

 plify the work in the sewing room. 

 There is no work in the world that is 

 so hard on a woman as running the 

 sewing machine, and there are very 

 few fruitgrowers but what can afford 

 to have a motor attachment to the sew- 

 ing machine. 



There are many convenient and eco- 

 nomical electric appliances for the 

 house which simplify the work. An 

 inexpensive electric cooking stove is 

 now made that will do much to lessen 

 the work and keep the house cool in 

 summer. In connection with an electric
