Women Farmers
Begin Harvest of
Money Crop Here
blue Denim Girls" Launch
100000 Drive as
Skies Clear
All Wear Bloomers
Novel Uniform Pleases SOL
diers and Helps in Cam
paign Work

In their "dress uniforms" Of blue
denim smocks and bloomers, returned
farmerettes began yesterday to har
vest their crops of subscribers for the
$500 900 membership drive of the New
York State Woman's Land Army. Rain,
weather had kept the girls confined te
indoor canvassing in hotels and clubs
but yesterdays sun launched the cam.
paign in earnest.
The "blue denim girls" as they were
called, attracted attention wherever
they went. Soldiers and officers were
particularly interested and many sub.
scriptions were received from men in
uniform.
"If you girls are helping to raise food
for my kids at home, Pm for you," one
private said, as he contributed his
mite. His fee was smaller than the 81
dues that are expected to be paid for q
membership, but his name was entere
quite as cheerfully as those Of larger
subscribers.
A French officer was moved to inquire
what these energetic young women were
doing around the Hotel Biltmore
where the Land Army's campaign head
quarters are located. and was exceed
inglv curious about the uniform. When
he was told that the blue denim was
used only for dress occasions, and
that khaki overalls were used for real
work, he threw up his hands in amaze
ment.
"These Americans!" he exclaimed.
"As if to raise money were not the
most difficult work in the world to
everybody but them"
The women farmers who are seeking
subscriptions have all been in the fields
themselves, and returned with their
service stripes to their duties in the
city. Most farmerettes cannot be
spared at present from the work still
to be done on the land, however, and
volunteers are therefore helping in the
drive.
One of the most experienced woman
farmers is Mrs. Thomas f. Burgess,
president Of the State Land Army. who,
as practical farmer of ten years ex-
perlence. has taken a booth for the
drive.
A letter was received yesterday at
campaign headquarters from Senator
Wadsworth, praising the work of the
Land Army and accepting a place on
the state committee of the organiza-
ton.

Columbia University will open on
Wednesday as an academic institution
and the following Tuesday it's Students
Army Training Corps will be organ
lied, with several thousand students
enrolled. Although overshadowed by
war, the peace time activities of the in
stitution will proceed on the military
reservation of Columbia University.
The university organization will re-
main intact. All its departments will
continue, though some wartime courses
have been added. Students are coming
from as far away as the Pacific Coast
to enroll in the training corps Of the
university, and, as usual, its academic
rolls will contain names from many
parts of the world. Examinations for
admission to the training corps have
been under way for some time.
Two thousand men had been ex-
amined up to Friday night by a staff
of sixteen physicians, under DR.. George
l.. Meylan, medical director of the
gymnasium, and DR.. f. S. Elliott, and
OF these, it was announced, 93 per cent
were found physically fit. One hun
dred and forty men were rejected and
200 were accepted for limited service.
Most of the reflections were caused bv
defective hearts and eyes. The next
most common defect was ear trouble.
The failures in the psychological tests
were relatively few.
The medical examinations Will con-
tnue until the full strength of the
corps is mustered. The passing of the
medical tests does not automatically
admit one to the S. A. T. C. Appli-
cants with high school credentials or
from other universities must first be
admltted to Columbia University be-
tore they can be inducted into the mill

are required to sign cards transferring
