100 Columbia Students
Volunteer as Farmers

One hundred Columbia students have
answered the call issued by Professor
o. S. Morgan for agricultural volun-
teers. They are to be sent to farms
for the entire crop producing season
as soon as places are found.
The plan was suggested TO give stu
dents UNIT for military service
chance to serve their country IN the
next most important way. twenty-five
students who live on farms, led by Joe
Brown. varsity football player and sec
rotary Of the Agricultural Volunteer
system. are communicating with farm
ers in their districts relative 10 placing
the men where most needed. Although
the volunteers will leave as soon as
possible, each will be given full credit
for his college work for the remainder
of the term.
Consumption of farm laborers is an
other method of solving the food short
ace urged by Professors Henry Seager
and Robert Chaddock. in the sixth OF
series of Columbia War Papers,
issued by the Division of Intelligence
Of the School Of Journalism.
Tf sufficient workers cannot be Sc
cured" the pamphlet says, the same
machinery TO enlist men for the army
ano navy may be employed to induce
some of them to turn TO agriculture as
an equally important branch OF the
national service. When consumption IS
substituted for volunteer enlistment
the drafts may be made larger than
mere military service requires, ana
those called into service may, II quail
fed, be given the choice between hght-
ing or farming for their country"

Fresh Vegetables Sell
Lower than Canned Goods

Chicago, April 2l.-The anomaly Of
grocers selling fresh beans, green peas
and asparagus at retail, considerably
below prices quoted for the canned
counterparts, was presented in this
market to-day. The arrival of the van
guard of the spring influx Of yegeta-
bles has brought about this condition,
and, according to Sol Westerheld, vice
president of the National Retail Gro
GERS Association, there is every indica-
ton that a downward price trend will
extend over the entire line Of vegeta-
bles and fruits.
To-day new potatoes were offered al

about 20 per cent over the current
