fitting him for really effective farm

The shortage of experienced farm
help Is caused only in small part by
the enlistment or calling to the colors
of men from the farms. Large num-
bers of farm workers were attracted
to manufacturing centers last year by
the high wages paid at munitions
plants, in the building of environments
etc. For more than three years there
has been a practical suspension of
immigration.

what will we do abouth labor?"
That has been one of the foremost
questions in the farmers mind this
winter. The labor problem has been
and is one of the most important agri-
cultural problems of the war, and yet
it is not so difficult as it appears. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the United States Department of
Labor, State agricultural colleges, and
other agencies are cooperating in eff
forts to relieve the situation. Some of
the methods are:
By careful surveys throughout the
United States this winter to learn de-
finitely the farm-labor needs antici-
pated in each section for the spring,
summer, and harvest.
To assemble information showing
all possible supplies of farm labor in
every part of the country.
In every section, to direct all avail
able farm labor to the nearest place
where it is needed, and, with changes
of seasons and crops, to continue it to
othed sections as it is needed.
To train high-school boys, and 9TH
ers old enough for effective farm work
but not old enough for the Army, in
some of the practical fundamentals of
farming, to the end that after few
weeks of training in camp early this
spring they will be available for farm
work in their county or community,

In short, to attack the farm-labor

tematic search and patriotic appeals
can develop; to back this up with a
second line of high-school boys and

suits to emergency farm work; and
finally to throw in the last line of re-
serves, to be applied only in emerg-
encies, workers who have no farm ex-
perience.
1t would be much better if it were
not necessary to use any unframed
labor on the farms. 1t would be an
ideal condition if every farm could be
completely manned with experienced
help this year. However. like many
ideals, that will not be attainable, The
Nation possesses enough potential
farm labor to supply the farms, if all
the possible supplies are efficiently di-
rected to agricultural pursuits and di-
verified from less essential workout
this doesn't mean that all the farm
labor so secured will be experienced
in agricultural activity.
Other Countries Have Succeeded
Canada's food crop production has
been continued despite just such
shortages of skilled farm labor as we
now face. 1t has been done by redi-
recting the man and boy power of the
country, by applying to agriculture
classes of labor that normally would
not have sought that field. We can do
the same thing. And we must-oth-
erwise we'll find Germany running
our farms for us. The farmer mustn't
lose sight of what it will mean to him
personally if he fails to produce food
crops, no matter how annoying it may
be to have to use some odds and ends
of farm help.
And, jut as it is a part of the farm
er's patriotic obligation to bear with
and overcome the Inconvenience of
the situation, so is it the patriotic OBJ
legation of every man of farm expert

RATS. WHEAT AND FINES

America and the Allies today form
4 family group and all food supplies
belong to the family table. No one
has right to waste food, whether It
is food he has bought or food he has
grown. In wide sense, no man can
do as he pleases with his own prop
erty, If such action is detrimental to
others. America recognizes this in a
moral sense, and calls waste sin;
England pronounces it q crime and
imposes a penalty.
Rats, they declare, are expensive
guests and farmer must not enter
tain them, even unaware. England
not only swats the rat but swats the
farmer who allows rats in his ricks.
John Andrews Of Charlton Cross
Farm was fined 80 pounds (about
$3.50 because he permitted five or
six bushels Of wheat to be destroyed
by rats. About 100 rats were believed
to have been in the stack, and accord
ing to the English idea farmer
should keep ahead of the rat game
better than that. Wasted wheat cost
this farmer nearly fifty dollars

40 money can replace it.

$4,000 FROM WASTE

Now since the Food Administration
10 advocating the utilization Of gar
bage, facts have come to light in va
rious communities regarding the
profits made from food thrown away.
It has become known that Charles
Fay, who formerly conducted a hog
farm near Wichita, feeding garbage
20 the hogs, cleared $4,000 last year.
He has since sold his hog farm to q
concern which is feeding hogs under
supervision Of the city.
Several. hog farms are being con-
lucted near the larger Kansas cities.
One 10 conducted near Topeka with
great success. Pork from garbage
led hogs tops the market.
With an increasing understanding
Of the value Of garbage, new methods
are rapidly being developed for utiliz-
ing It's ingredients most fully. One
Of the products now derived from
city garbage is . concentrated poul.
try feed. The garbage 10 dried and
treated to reduce the bulk and also
to enable the product TO stand ship
ment and storage. A typical sample
Of this feed tested about II per cent
protein, 10 per cent fat and Is per
cent carbohydrate. Although crock
cry and glass in the garbage does not
interfere with it, value for feeding
poultry, the removal Of such sub
stances 10 essential when garbage
tankage is to be fed to hogs.
A "flotationT process now fur
nishes means for separating the gar
bage from glass, crockery, metal and
similar material 30 that the concen-
tratsd Ingredients in the garbage may
be converted into hog feed, dog bis
cult and chick feed. The present
commercial development and posi-
bilities in this field show clearly its
growing importance.
The Food Administration Ii en-
deavoring to convince city and town
officials Of the waste incurred when
garbage 10 burned, dumped or emp
tied into large bodies Of water.
Changing methods Of disposal may
give farmers in many localities the
opportunity to secure fresh town
garbage for animal feeding.

COULD. GET MORE HONEY

About 250,0OO,00O pounds of honey
are produced annually in the United
States, California being the leading
state in the production of this sweet.
Honey production in this country
could be increased largely-ten to
twenty times the present yield
without an appreciable increase in
the cost Of production, for the raw
material-the nectar in flowers-is
at certain times practically unlimited.
To produce more honey we just
need more colonies Of bees properly
managed. The proposition is very
simple to state, but decidedly diff
cult to execute. Successful beekeep-
ing requires a high degree Of skill,
special training, and faithful, persist
ent attention to the business, so any
marked increase in successful bee
keeping hinges upon educational work
among present and prospective bee
keepers.
Permanent courses in beekeeping
are being introduced in agricultural
colleges, and extension work in bee
keeping is now being conducted in
many states. The United States De-
partment Of Agriculture is conducting
emergency extension work in selected
regions, where a considerable in
crease in the honey crop may reason
ably be expected in the immediate fu-
ture.
