WASHINGTON, April 6.-Can we
enlist a million American women to
do mems work this summer on the
farm?
ask this question because It is
possible that this summer the United
States may be in as great need Of farm
laborers as of soldiers and munition
makers But whether the actual Oh
portunity comes this year or not, pre-
paredness of the individual for war
or for peace demands that American
farm women be ready for every pos
sible emergency.
It is well within the bounds OF pos
sibility that the available farm labor
OF the United States will be materi-
ally reduced by the calling of many
men to other and more hazardous du-
ties than sowing and reaping.
II is physically possible for the farm
women of America to aid our economic
preparedness in the event that a war
summons an immense army to the
colOrs. To handle modern farm imple-
ments is not necessarily beyond a
woman's strength. With a good team
and a riding cultivator equipped with
a sun umbrella, blowing corn is a
deal more pleasant than washing The
