Helen Ochsner, Home Ec Senior,
Tells of Rural Study in Sweden
Y

HOME EC STUDENTS GATHER to hear Helen Ochsner tell of her experiences in Sweden this
summer. Seated left to right are Vi Vosika, Mavis Muscrave, Mother Walrath of Love Hall, Helen
Ochsner, Jean Fenstcr and Lillian Lock.
Bringing the latest in rural
vouth studv to the campus is
Helen Ochsner, Home Economics
senior from Madison, who has just
returned from Sweden.
Miss Ochsner was the recipient
of a scholarship for study of Eu
ropean rural life, financed by per
sons interested in 4-H Club work,
and sponsored by the extension
service of the United States de
partment of agriculture. Known
as the International Farm Youth
Exchange Project, the plan en
ables 17 rural youths from 17
states to go to Europe in exchange
for 17 foreigners to study in our
country. The mixed group was se
lected on the basis of 4-H Club
records, school activities, church
activities, and capacity to partici
pate in such a program.
Left in June.
The group left New York in
June and sailed on the Marine
Jumper to England, where they
spent two and a half weeks vis
iting farm families, touring
through scenic spots and points of
interest, visiting factories, and at
tending the Royal Agriculture
show.
After tourine England, the
group split up to study in seven
different countries. Miss Ochsner
went to Sweden where she lived
on a 300-acre farm near Stock
holm. For two months, Miss Ochs
ner lived as one of the family,
working in the fields with the
men in the mornings, and helping
with the house and garden work
in the afternoons.
Farm Intensively.
"Swedish farms," said Miss
Ochsner, "are cultivated much
more intensively than are Ameri
can farms. There is more labor
per unit of farm, and resulting
higher yields. Large farms own
modern machinery, and smaller
farmers co-operate by sharing
machinery."
Gas Rationed.
"Automobiles may be found in
greater proportion in Sweden than
in most European countries, al
though gas is rationed. Trains are
electric. Farm homes are quite
modern, and all have electricity.
Many hand-made and artistic
things decorate the homes," said
Miss Ochsner. The farm at which
she stayed had one main home

in which the owner lives. All of
the land is rented and managed
by a foreman. There are ten
homes on the farm, some of which
are occupied by the workers, and
others rented out.
After two months in Sweden,
Miss Ochsner joined the group
again. They went to Finland,
where they stayed for one week,
visiting farms, paper mills, and
attending a 4-H Club conference.
They also toured Norway, Bel
gium, Denmark, Germany, Hol
land and France.
"The differences are so slight
and the similarities are so great
that you feel right at home," stat
ed Miss Ochsner. "The people do
everything they can for the
Americans and show great hos
pitality. Nearly everyone under
stands English and many can
speak it," she said.
As soon as Miss Ochsner has
caught up with her school work,
she will speak to 4-H clubs and
extension meetings throughout the
state. She will show movies and
give talks to various groups on
the campus in the near future.
