Moral Suasion or Increased Pay Likely to Win Servants
from Those Who Refuse to Volunteer Services OF
Their Employees for Iillng Land

It's 10 be a hard summer for million
aires who hope to remain on Long ISL
and during the season without sacriilc-
ing most of their help and all of their
farm labor consuming luxurics. Such
mllionaires who fail to turn their gar
deners, chauiTeurs and other help over
TO those who will use them in actual
food production probably will find their
servants drafted into the farming ser
vice by moral suasion or increased pay.
One Of the chief purposes of the Long
Island Food Reserve Battalion, which
has the active support of Colonel
Roosevelt, Ralph Peters. president OF
the Long Island Railroad, and repre-

potatoes, corn or beans and at such
prices as will not make the cost of such
foods prohibitive.'

"A lot Of good energy is likely to go

Ernest Seton Thompson, head of the
Woodcraft League. which is organizing
potato clubs throughout the country.
There arc back yards IN New YORK
City which will make fine garden
patches and there arc also those which
arc worthless for that purpose.

In all tho boroughs Of Greater New
York except Manhattan the soil should
be suited for potatoes said Mr.
Thompson. But where there IS little
sunshine and where The ground has not
been titled and has become baked hard
or is clay which never has been worked
up, the results will be meagrc. Much OF
the soil will need fertilizer as WE'LL
and this is extremely high this year
due to the potash shortage. Usually
some one in tho block or near at hand

about the soil.

Colonel Roosevelt has engaged in the
humble task of bringing food out of his
own garden at Oyster Bay, where only
roses formerly were grown. when
asked about his increase in food pro

"You have increased your production
of potatoes and beans by about 80 per
cent and cut down accordingly on
roses" she said.

G. Thomas Powell. a practical farmer
Of Glen Cove. advocated the "farmeriz-

farm from tho city, saying that the
dudish apparel of the average city
youth would not only make him a poor
addition to the farming force. but would
serve 10 arouse the discomfort OF other
farmer bows. As result Of the sug-
gestion. il is asked that all city youths
who desire to dig in gardens dress
themselves in overalls or similar gar
ments Of a practical nature.
