Women Patriots SOlpe
BritQin'S Farm Problem
They Are Grand WONDERFUL Says Earl Of Selborne-
All Over England They Are Volunteering for
Labor in Fields

I make splendid soldiers. Some one mus
replace them. We have found the sub
I stItute woman.
Women's Incomes Increased.
Here there is a peculiar situation
Through separation allowances and
other war bonuses many women have
larger incomes than ever before. So
we could not appeal 10 the women BY
offering big wages for farm work. We
had 10 appeal 10 their patriotism. We
had TO show them that by hoeing tur-
nips or gathering potatoes they we're
helping their man who was dong his
bit somewhere in France We are not
an imaginative people. but the women
soon saw the truth OF our plea.
There Is some farm work wome7
cannot do. and il would be unwise for
them u they attempted il. but it is
marvellous what they can accomplish.
All over England We have organizers
who are having wonderful success in
getting women 10 volunteer as farm
hands and in convincing the farmers
that women can in some ways do al
most as much as men.
Let me tell you little story. which
| can vouch for. Down in Devonshire
the wife of a Member Of Parliament
was addressing a meeting. A farmer
strongly prejudiced against women as
farm hands. said: 'Maybee women can
do all you say. but where can | get any
women TO spread the manure on my
fields - How many acres have you :
asked Mrs. Bout ten the
farmer replied How much will you
pay day asked Mrs. . The
farmer stated the figure. Done, said
Mrs.
The next day Mrs. appeared
with three friends. The four ladies
started spreading manure over that
ten-acre field and kept at IL till they
had finished
Converted the Farmer.
They converted the farmer and Sc. an
example for the women Of that district.
This is not an unusual story. There
are many Ike Il.
Here is another. 1t did not come
from Lord Selborne, but it is vouched
for.
Lady Mabel Smith. sister Of the Earl
Of Fitzwlliam. whose title runs back
20 1920. has Just taken a situation on a
farm and will work there for six weeks.
This seems TO me the best way | can

meeting
Az Governor OF the Transvasl and
High Commissioner Of South Africa
from 1905 10 1910. Lord Selborne be-
came thoroughly acquainted with the
Boer farmer and his deep-sested
prejudices against innovations. BY
comparison the English farmer is an
easy man to handle. but every English
man considers he has just cause for
complaint II any attempt is made to
dictate or regulate him. However, the
English farmer is fas, adapting himself
20 the new conditions the war has
forced upon him and now admits his
women helpers are far exceeding his
highest expectations.
We are now AT the beginning Of a
busy season and the women are flock
ing 10 the fields in a hesrtening way
continued Lord Selborne. 81 cannot
say toe much in praise OF the patriot
ism Of the women of England. They
have rallied 70 King and country with
just az much enthusiasm as the men. y

London. April 1.-THE women are
grand. They are wonderful"
SO said :he Earl OF Selborne. presi-
dent Of the Board Of Agriculture. He
was speaking of the women Of England,
those OF all classes-rich and poo-
alike.
Britain has approximately 100000
men under arms. All her eligible
single men-up to and including forty
years-have been called for service IN
the army or navy. The married men
have not yet been conscripted. but Il
is not unlikely that they. TOO, will soon
be in khaki. In certain lines OF work
exemptions have been granted. but the
farmers and cattle raisers have been
hard hit. In his Official position in the
Cabinet il is Lord Selbornes duty to
get the maximum Of yield out OF the
land.
Are you opposed to Withdrawing any
more men from the farms ?" I asked
Lord Selbornc.
Not at ALL he replied. providing
VIC have time TO adjust ourselves TO the
now conditions. 1t is essential for us
20 continue raising corn, fodder. pota-
toes, beans. milk and cheese. sheep and
cattle. VIC must have the food. We
must keep our farms and our mines
going and We must get the maximum
out of them.
Must Produce All They Can.
"If We bought everything from
abroad we would have trouble with the
exchange with the countries in which
We made our purchases. J., is impor-
tant for Britain to support herself so
far IS possible and at the same time
export all We can spare. Germany has
practically no export trade and is feel
ing the war more than We are.
How are we going to keep on pro-
ducing commodities? How can we per-
nit more men 10 desert the farms for
the trenches? The women are answer
ing the questions. They are grand
They are wonderful.
"For many years Britain has not, ex-
cept in the North. depended upon her
women 20 cultivate the fields. Other
European countries have used women
labor on the farms. We did not Our
women had more time 10 devote TO
their children and their homes. ! pre-
fer the custom Of the South in normal
times. In France. Russia and Germany
the women we're accustomed 20 working
In the fields and these countries were
able to utilize this labor from the out
set.
When the war came our men rushed
into the army and for a time sufficient
regard was not given 10 the important
work Of carrying on essential indus
tries al home As a result things were
disjointed for a while. War was not a
business with US. More men are needed
for the army and agricultural lsborers

Right Of Visit and Search.

Criticising the Administration for an
alleged change Of front regarding armed
merchantmen he said:
Visit and search is a right due all
merchantmen. Unfortunately, the United
states in its note last July said sub
marines apparently could operate IN ex-
ercise of that duty. although previously
this government had insisted they could
not be used as commerce destroyers. l
regard that as most unfortunate
change Of position.
Another unfortunate admission was
in the armed merchantmen memoran-
DUN. published a few days ago, that
submarines need not visit and search
II the object Is known TO be enemy
property. This comedies deplorable
practice and is An abandonment OF the
rigid maintenance Of the duty to visit
