or East. In other cases farmers
would write for bulletins designed
wholly for manufacturers or shippers,
or technical workers would request
material intended wholly for popular
reading. AS result of this system
of titles the recipients of bulletins in
many cases were disappointed and
either found the bulletins too techni-
cal for use or else entirely inappli-
cable to the section in which they
were engaged in agriculture.
To avoid this waste of circulation
and make certain that the bulletins
go directly to those to whom they will
be of service, the department has
inaugurated new plan whereby in
every list the title of the bulletin will
be accompanied by brief statement
telling accurately the nature of its
material. the class Of reader for which
intended and the section Of the coun-
try to which the information is appli-
cable. To make doubly sure that each
recipient of bulletin will understand
clearly the class of reader for which
it is intended, this brief description
will be repeated at the foot Of the title
page of each publication De-
partment of Agriculture's Weekly

WOMEN WANTED
FOR SERVANTS
THEORY THAT WOMEN WHO GO
TO AUSTRALIA WILL FIND
HUSBANDS prsPRovED.
(By Associated PreSs.)

London, Feb. 21.-The long cherish
ed theory that the worlds surplus
feminine population could be married
off If it could be persuaded to migrate
to the Antipodes is not borne out in
a report of the Dominion's Royal Com
mission upon the demand for women
in Australia. Women are wanted badly
in tbs great island continent, but not
so much for marriage as for domestic
servants.
So great is the demand, according
to the report. that many of the girls
sailing from England have been en-
gagged by wireless as cooks and serv-
ants in Australian households before
their steamer reached port. In some
cases men have been so hard up for
cooks that they have gone out in tugs
to met incoming vessels to make sure
that they have the first pick of girls
seeking employment The first few
days following the landing of the i'm
migrants resembles an old hiring fair.
The employers beseige the labor bu-
reau in hundreds and in a short time
work is pretty certain to have secured
a situation at wages more than double
the sum which she could command in
England.
The commission lfarned of COM
plants that the scarcity of servants
N Australia involves such a burden
IN housewives that the scarcity of
affecting seriously their
health and even acting as a check
lpon the much desired increase of the
population.
