The Smith-Lever Act piovides for
exxtension work in agriculture and
home economics, but it does not
specify what porportion of the funds
shall be used in home economics. The
State agricultural college extention
directors are being urged by women's
organiiations of various kinds to al
lot a certain specific portion of the
ismith-Lever lunds lor work, with
women. In view of this fact, it is
interesting to note the amount of
money actually being put into this
work by the agricultural colleges for
the most part in cooperation with the
United Mates Department 01 Agri
culture. Data taken from the record
of the department and relating ex
clusively to work of this kind in the
.Northern and Western States
show, the following distribution of
funds:
(1) For Meeting and movable
Schools at which demonstra
tions are given in cooking,
sewing, household convcn
, ' iences, and for the organi
zation of women's clubs to
study home econmices.. $81,555
ror canning clubs to teach
girls and women how to pre
vent many of the wastes of
the farm by canning and
preserving fruits, vegeta
bles,, and meats by cheap

3) For county agents who help
farmers and their wives to
increase the net income of
the farm, and thus make
possible the introduction of
labor-saving conveniences
and other improvements
into the home 1,027.312
From the above it will be seen that
there is being spent a total of $137.
