NEEDLESS ALARM

Many of our hard working farmers
are letting themselves fret unneces-
sarily over the prospects of the future
with regard. to labor. They have it
quite we'll fixed in their minds that
the government is going to take away
all their labor when the age lifts are
changed so as to include them from
is to As years They are already ex-
cited because so many of their help
ers are gone to the war and they de-
clare with all earnestness that they
cannot afford to go without the help
any further.
All this is undue alarm. The real
purpose of the new law is to reach
those who are not vitality engaged in
Industrial or agricultural pursuit and
take them With the age limit changed
it will be easily possible to bring in
large numbers of those who are not
in the farms and when these are gone
to the fighting forces. they will take
the ploce of such help as might under
present circumstances have to be
taken from the farms. The farms are
thus saved by the new measure and
instead Of being discouraged and blue
about labor conditions, the farmers
ought TO brace up. There is nothing
Rad for them in the change.
The government doubtless long ago
began the study of how to reach the
number Of men wanted in the army
and at the same time save the neces-
sary help to be used in the farms. No
one need fear that anybody has for
gotten the Importance of the farm.
No one need fear that the war depart
ment will want to come here and take
away the very agencies of food pro-
duction. They know help must remain
no the fam much better than we know
ourselves. Let us work harder and
with more faith in those who are di-
recting the war 1t will make it pos
sible to do more here as well as in
the trenches.

HOW THEY CANNED PEAS

Wives and daughters of wealthy
citizens in the Wisconsin pea canning
districts have entered the canneries
to aid the labor situation. On Satur-
day they line up for their pay enve-
lopes and receive a minifun wage for
their ten hours work.
Forty per cent OF the peas canned
in the United States are put up in
Wisconsin plants.
Earlier in the season pea packers
expressed grave fear Of serious labor
shortage and pointed to the Food Adj
ministration's request for all the peas
possible
George P. Hambrecht, labor com
missioner, after conference with
Food Administrator Hoover, sent
labor commission employees into all
homes and obtained pledges from wo-
men in all walks of life to work in the
canneries if called upon.
Then conference was arranged
with the packers, who were Informed
that they would be provided with
help if they paid the wofen a mini
mum wage established a ten-hour
working day except in an emergency
and then not more than twelve hours,
and made proper sanitary arrange
ments.
The packers signed an agreement,
the women who had pledged their
services were called on, the response
was most satisfactory and the Gamer
les now are operating with a full for
ce
