Courtesy for Woman Farmers.

All possible encouragement is de-

gained, land army" for the purpose
OF remedying as we'll as may be the
scarcity OF agricultural labor created
ny the war in this country as in so
many others The existing emergency
is 80 grave that natural and commend
able disllkes for seeing women at work
in the fields must be overcome, and
overcome. also should be the tendency
or many American farmers to assume
that farm work cannot be done unless
there are men to do II.
The men should remember that the
original farmers Of all races were
women, as they are to-day among most
primitive races, and they can return
temporarily to their ancient tasks un-
der the drive of wars stern compul-
sion. For women to be successful in
farm labor, however, their relative
strength must be considered and not
too much expected of them. Worke
too hard, they will soon wear out, but
sensibly moderate demands they can
meet, and have met, wherever they
have been employed.
Their hours must oe shorter. their
numbers larger, and the fact that they
cannot do as much, as a rule, as doe IS
the experienced and long-trained farm
laborer is very far from proving them
useless-except to those who have de-
termined beforehand that the expert
ment OF employing women In tho field S
