WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Report for Week Ending May 20
Miles Travelled

The cards which We're sent out last
week in regard TO the farm labor situa-
ton have so far brought in requests for
labor from "a farmers in the county.
The most of these requests are for short
term help, few weeks in having or
harvesting; several call for help for the
luli summer season and few want a
good man Tor the year. These applica-
tons are all from good farmers and the
pay they offer averages little over $50
per month and board for month help,
and $3.50 per day for day labor. hope
that If any who read this article know
of any available farm help they will re-
port the same TO me in order that we
can connect them with employers and
help by so much the crop production.
Most of the farmers say that they are
willing to use inexperienced help at less
than the regular wage.
Potatoes.
Last year we carried out few dem.
onstrations of the tuber unit method OF
seed selection for potatoes, with the aim
of increasing the yield without increas-
ing the cost. Several growers have re-
ported that they expect to try it this
year. ] hope that many more will take
it up and report to me so that / may
have the information as to progress for
the benefit of others. Ii you have not
planted all your potatoes, | would sug-
gest that you put in few under this
system as follows:
Take the potatoes to the field before
cutting. Cut and plant one potato at
time, using uniform number of pieces to
the potato and planting them in consecu
tive hills, skipping hill before starting
the next potato. -Four pieces to the po-
tato will be the proper number to use.
Select uniform, clean potatoes to start
with. Plant as many of them in this
way as you have time, then at digging
time in the fall the product of each pc.
tato can be kept separate to weigh and
desirability to save for seed IL will be
possible to develop in this way high |
yielding strain of potatoes.
Scabby seed should be treated before
cutting or planting, as follows: Soak the |
seed in solution of formaldehyde made |
by adding one pint Of formaldehyde to
40 gallons of water for a period of two
hours. A handy way is to suspend one /
sack at a time in barrel of the solution.
This will kill any scab organism on the
potato seed itself but will not prevent
the crop from being scabby if the seed
is planted in ground where the organism
is present. Plant seed if possible on new
ground.
If you have not bought the spray ma
terial for the potato crop, it is time to
10 it so as to be sure to have it on hand
when needed. Figure out the amount of
arsenate of lead that you will need for
poison and the copper sulphate that you
will need for Bordeaux and order it now.
Very little corn has been planted, the
popular opinion being that it is better off
n the shed, in a dry place. If the wealth
n is favorable, the next two weeks viii

CHILDREN IN WAR TIME.
Some of the Nations in Struggle Are
Protecting Minors.

"The experience of war time has onl.
demonstrated the necessity-technical
economic and even physiological-of thu
labor laws enacted before the war. Ii
our legislation secured in time of peac,
we shall find the conditions for better
and more intense production during thu
war"
These words of NJ. Albert Thomas, the
french minister of munitions, illustrate
perfectly the official attitude of both
France and England after two years Of
emergency exemptions for war industries
according to the children's bureau OF the
II. S. department of labor which has just
completed brief review of all available
reports on child labor in the warning
countries.
In France and England, earlier stand
ards of hours are being restored not only
to protest the health of the workers but
for the sheer sake of industrial efficiency
present and future. In Italy, the central
committee on industrial mobilization has
taken steps in the same direction. In
Russia, a year before the revolution, a
movement was under way to raise the
age limit for children in industry.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand,
in spite of the great armies of men they
have sent to the front, have maintained
their labor standards with little or no
variation. Victoria has slightly increased
the amount of overtime which may be
permitted to women and children in spe-
cial cases. On the other hand, Manitoba
has reduced its legal overtime. No
change whatever in restrictions on wom-
an and child labor is reported from New
Zealand.
The children's bureau sums up as fol-
lows the child labor situation in France
and England;
France, after almost two years of war
time exemptions by which children under
Is were allowed to work at night in spe-
cial cases, restored the night work prohi.
bition for girls under Is and provided
that other night workers should be sub
ject to medical supervision. The reason
for this is indicated not only in the state
ment by NJ. Thomas, quoted above, but
again in the following extract from the
French official Bulletin des Usines de
Guerre for July 81. 1916:
with the continuance of the war il
becomes necessary not only to find the
best possible disposition of the forces
available for our war industries, but also
20 avoid every cause for exhaustion OF
weakening of the labor employed in our
factories. There is a close relation be-
tween the conditions in which we place
our workers and the Improvement or the
increase of our war products. For the
very sake OF the national defense we
must conserve all their physical strength
for the workers who are responsible for
the manufacture Of arms and for the
output of our factories"
France has now under consideration an
education bill which would in effect raise
the standard OF labor protection in war
time. II was introduced in the Chamber /
OF Deputies in March BY NJ. Viviani and /
closely resembles bill passed by the /
French Senate in june. 1916. This pro- /
possl to establish a system Of continue |
ton schools and 90 require part time /
school attendance during working hours /

Mrs. Celeste Snow of Weston observed
her 92d birthday anniversary at the home
of her daughter in Andover. Mrs. Snow
is very spry and does all her own house
work. She is often seen upon the street
and her walk is very brisk. Mrs. Snow
is direct descendant of General James
Brown of the war of the Revolution,
Her husband was in the Civil war and a
grandson in the Spanish American war.
Officers of Massachusetts and Vermont
descended together on the state line
house between Clarksburg, Mass, and
Stamford Wednesday night in search of
liquor, but none was found and there
was no evidence that any had been sold
there. The place is conducted by Daniel
Heating and it is supposed the rumor OF
liquor selling arose from the fact that
large amounts of seeds, fertilizer, etc,
have been brought there recently. The
raid is said to have had its origin in com
plants to Governor Graham, who asked
the cooperation of the Massachusetts
police.
