IOWA'S FARM MOBILIZATION

DIES MONIES, Ia, April 27.-Aroused
to the need of increasing the nations

message to the legislature, which i'm

mission of farm experts being appoint
ed to lead the mo- ement for increasing
and conserving the food yield. The
commission at once announced that la
Dor shortage was the most threatening
sign Among the steps it took to
mobilize farm labor was to call upon
high school boys to work on farms.
labor bureaus are to be established
throughout the state. Church. schools,
commercial bodies and individual bust
ess men and manufacturers are being
urged to cooperate by encouraging
city dwellers to help on farms during
rush periods.
Nearly two thousand vacant lots In
Des Moines are being planted under the
auspices of city gardening commits
sion. Railroads are considering seed
ing the soil along their rights of way,
while counties are taking up the ques-
ton of cultivating waste places along
public highways. The home garden
ing movement is sweeping the state.
Women suffrage inspired by a
special plea from Governor Harding,
are planning to mobilize women for
farm labor and to engage in canning
and preserving on a large scale. The
home economies movement, with en-
phasis on using every table scrap and
cutting out the garbage waste, has
taken on new life.
The state commission is planning to
send flying squadron of experts
through the state, urging farmers to
their utmost efforts as a patriotic duty.
Anticipating a long war, the COM
mission called upon farmers to save
breeding animals, cut down losses from
animal diseases, put in more poultry
and more hogs and use better seed.
Better marketing systems are to re-
ceive the commissions closest atten-
