To Fit City Boys
for Work on Farm
Labor to Be Modified Through
Regular Training
8,'it$C Games. -.

WASHINGTON. August 25.- Labor
for the farms is about to be mo-
biltzed In the various States through
regular training camps, established
under approval of the Federal gov
eminent Plans for these camps have
been worked out by the Council of
National Defense. and have the
hearty Endorsement of President Will
son and members OF his Cabinet
These training camps. with courses
along intensive lines. are expected to
ft city boys for farm work. The out
come undoubtedly will be the equip
ment of thousands OF youths along
technical lines for work on farms
where n serious shortage exists.
The training camps probably will
be established within comparatively
few weeks in every State to provide
the vast numbers of additional labor
ers demanded by war emergencies.
First nationwide campaign will be
started with the object OF impressinG
upon both State and national officials
the necessity OF setting aside funds
for the establishment Of intensive
training camps. Under this plan the
camps would BIO the main source OF
supply, from which would be sent
thousands of boys to the small supply
camps.
Farmers writing to Washington Of
flcials concerning the city boy declare
he is a splendid worker as soon as
the "Ereenness" wears off. But your
farmer insists that tho city chap must
receive some hard bumps before he
can compete with his country cousin
Thousands of suoh boys went from
the Middle Atlantic and Eastern
States to the Western farms during
the spring and early summer. Gem
orally they gave satisfaction.
AS an evidence that tho farmers
prejudice against the city boy is dis
appearing officials to-day exhibited
numerous letters from Western grange
owners asking for the establishment
Of more boys camps.
The farm labor problem has been
growing more grave from year to year
with tho constantly decreasing supply
of regular farm help. It Is expected
the labor shortage will roach a crisis
next year unless a big-boy-farm army
is modified and trained.
The Council OF National Defense,
through Secretary Clarkson, generous
ly applauds the idea of the boys farm
training camp. Secretary Clarkson
said
with the farmers showing them
solves ready to use city boys, with
boys by tho thousands available in
every big city, and with the training
camp as medium of preparing them
for tho field. there seems to be but one
sensible and logical thing to do-to
establish these miniature Farm platts-
burgs.'"
