COLLEGE TO SEND OUT
1 MEN TO AID FARMERS
Zach AsriouIturist Taking Student
Must Cultivate Extra Acres.

Philadelphia. The University Of
Pennsylvania will be the first Of Amer
lean colleges to tackle the food supply
problem, which has recently taken on
q serious aspect, according to plans an
nounced at the university by DR.. J.
Russell Smith, professor Of industry,
who has charge Of the movement. Stu
dents are to be sent out in squads of
from five to fifty to all sections of the
country to assist farmers in planting
and cultivating spring crops.
Every student signing will be given
credit for his years work and be sent
out Immediately. Students will be
placed on farms at a minimum salary
Of $40 month. In each one Of the
battalions there will be captain, who
is to have charge Of the men in his
community. referee all disputes be-
tween employer and students and re-
port each mans progress to the univer-
sity. Each farmer upon accepting one
Of the students as helper must promise
to cultivate twelve acres more of land
than be has heretofore. DR.. Smith
claims that at a conservative estimate
each man sent out will thus be respon-
sible for 42O extra bushels in the corn
crop alone, which means that the first
fifty men who leave for western Vir-
ginia will add some 2l,000 bushels OF
corn to this years crop.
