ADVICE TO KENosHA FARMERS.
Boy Labor for Kenosha County Farmers

During the year 1917 seventeen per-
cent of the labor left the farmers of
Kenosha county. Where did they go?
Farm boys enlisted, were drafted into
the army and navy, and large num-
Der of farm laborers were attracted
to the industries of the cities by the
high wages paid there. IF there are
going to be crops and live stock
enough to feed the people of Kenosha
county and have some surplus to send
to the allies across the ocean, the
farms will have to maintain or better
increase the level of the production
of the past season.
The labor supply is one of the i'm
portant factors in the maintenance of
this production. The new selective
draft regulations will allow the skilled
farm managers to remain on the farm
but these men need helpers. Where
are they going to get them2 There
are ten thousand boys in the high
schools of the state of Wisconsin who
do not work during the planting sea-
son. They are the largest available
supply of unemployed labor. There
are many obstacles in the way of get
ting these boys to help on the farms.
They lack practical farm experience,
and on this account many farmers
have been skeptical about the use of
such help. 1t has been demonstrated
during the past season that high school
boys can become more efficient after
receiving a small amount of training
for farm work. It is planned to or
ganize in the high school boys farm
service training classes, where prac-
teal work will be talked over and in
telligent understanding of farm prob
lens and practices will be developed.
1t is also planned to have boys from
the high schools go out on farms on
Friday afternoons and Saturdays for
instruction and practice. It is re-
allied that no one will make better
agricultural instructors for these boys
than the farmers themselves, so il is
planned to ask farmers and retired
farmers, to be big brothers to these
boys and help in everyway to train them
for service on the farms. They viii
teach the boys how to do the prac-
teal farm chores such as milking,
Harvesting and handling horses, feed
ing farm animals.
This is a plan whereby farmers are
asked to cooperate with the high
school authorities in the solution Of
their own labor problems. It is hoped
that a number of patriotic farmers Of
Kenosha county will volunteer to train
some of these city boys so they viii be
able to perform service on Kenosha
county farms next summer Farmers
who are willing to help train a boy
should write to County Agricultural
