Show BRIEFS . . . By Baukhage ftA group of thrifty Colorado farm families made up their minds that it was downright waste to feed a lot of non-laying hens. On the advice ad-vice of the Farm Security administration admin-istration home management supervisor, super-visor, they banded together and hired a first-rate poultry specialist to cull the flock. Out of 3,200, the poultryman found 900 not worth their feed. They were sold for cash. C.The increase in the number of young women in the labor market is one of the most significant trends of this century, according to the census bureau. In 1900 a little over 30 per cent of every 100 females 20 to 24 years old were workers; in 1930 the number exceeded 40 out of 100; and by 1940 more than 45 out of every 100 young women were in the labor force. |
