Prof. G. I. Christie, assistant to Sec
retafy Of Agriculture Houston. recent
ly pointed out some striking illustra-
tlons Of how the available labor sup
ply could be used to much better ad-
vantage II supplemented by ma
chlnery; Of how some labor Is not
fully utilized because machinery Is not
used. On one farm In the corn belt
he saw two strong men, each with a
team Of horses and single moldboard
plow, following each other around the
field. On an adjoining farm a seven
teen-year-old boy, driving four horses
to two-furrow plow. was doing as
much and better work. On one farm
two men with two horses to wagon
were spreading manure with forks. On
an adjoining farm one man with three
horses to manure spreader was ac-
compllshing larger amount Of work
In a more efficient way. For lack Of
proper machinery the labor Of one Of
the men blowing and one of the men
scattering manure was thrown away.
Professor Chrj7tie points out that dur
ing the rest Of the season farmers can
handle their work with a materially
reduced number Of men II they avail
themselves Of such things as the
double cutaway harrow, wide cutter
bar Of mower and binder, sheaf car
rier on the grain harvester, tractor,
haylng tools, milking machine.

Shortage Of Harvest Labor.

OF all the agricultural labor prob
lens confronting the farmers Of the
country at this time, probably the most
serious is that Of getting enough help
to harvest the wheat crop. In normal
times there was shifting population
Of from 10000 to $4,000 men who fol-
lowed the harvest season from the
South to the North Of the wheat belt.
Floating labor is no longer available
to any such great extent, and the mat
ter Of harvest labor. always q problem.
Is now a more serious one. Mr.. r. 4.
Frlzell, the department Of agriculture's
farm help specialist for Kansas, re-
Gently wrote: after full and COM
plete investigation, I am free to say
that the farmers Of Kansas will not
be able to save the wheat crop unless
they can get help from some Of the
surrounding states" What is true Of
Kansas Is probably true Of most Of the
other wheat states. The department Of
agriculture and the department Of Ia
Dor. with fairly adequate funds avail

edly will do. But the city people Of

PLANT FOOD DISEASES

You know something Of how
the United States department Of
Agriculture protects Americas
100,000,000 consumers against
diseased animal products.
Do you know that the depart
ment is just as vlgilant In pro-
tecting the same consumers
against diseased vegetable prod
ucts?
That, anyhow, is true.
But do not be too conceited
over what the department Is do
ing for you.
The department is interested
In the consumer as an indlvid-
ual-in his personal welfare, in
seeing that he has good, whole
some foods.
But 1t Is also interested In the
population en- masse-in seeing
that everybody gets ENOUGH
food.
Diseased vegetable products, of
course, are not good for the In
dividual. But there is another
element. When vegetables are
allowed to become diseased, In
transit or otherwise. and have
to be thrown away, the total sup
ply Of available food Is reduced
by just that much. and some
body has to do some more
scrimping.
Those are the two reasons
why the United States depart
ment Of agriculture devotes a
good deal of attention to pro-
tecting vegetable foods against
diseases found at markets.

toned In most Of the large receiving
centers now keep close watch for
plant diseases on fruits and vegetables
arriving on the markets.
Bad Product Not Wanted.
Diseased fruits and vegetables are
not wanted In the markets any more
than on the farm. and when carlot
shipments arrive showing evidence of
plant diseases their selling value is
decreased even II none Of the produce
must be thrown away. Sometimes, In
the case Of very perishable crops, like
berries or lettuce. there are serious
losses of food because the shipments
carried plant diseases when loaded.
While no shipper would knowingly
load badly infected fruits or vege-
tables. such produce may reach the
markets In poor condition because the
disease was present when loaded and
developed In transit. This Is espe-
cially true where shipments are made
without providing proper ventilation
or refrigeration.
Steps to Combat Disease.
Whenever shipments Of produce suf.
fering from plant diseases arrive the
inspectors Immediately notify the
shipper, and through the pathologists
Of the department Of agriculture the
county agent In the locality where
the diseased shipment originated is
instructed to take steps to combat the
disease.
Although the inspection service has
been In operation only few months
as part Of the general inspection
work of the department In certifying
to shippers the condition of carlot
shipments as they arrive at markets,
already II has resulted In the detec-
tion Of diseases in many shipments,
and has aided growers and plant path
ologists Of the department In con-
trolling the outbreaks of diseases and
preventing their spreading to other
sections Of the country.

CHILD WAR VICTIMS
RECEIVE AID

Nearly twenty-five thousand child
rem in France are receiving aid from
thethe American Red Cross at the
present time, according to recent
cable advice from Paris. Seven hun
dred children are receiving complete
medical care at the hands of Ameri-
can Red Cross doctors, and 5000 are
being treated at the medical dispen-
saries of the American relief society.
In addition, there are 10000 orphans
and other children in France who are
being aided by the Red Cross, direct
ly or indirectly.
The American Red Cross is also
aiding 5000 Belgian children, of
whom it has 1000 in complete charge.
Hospitals and other shelters for or
phans and children from the ruined
areas are maintained as an import
ant activity of the American Red
Cross abroad. Children who have
long gone unwashed many Of them
infected and seriously i'll, receive ten

work of mercy, but because it helps
insure the welfare of the coming gen.
Grafton, this child welfare work of the
American Red Cross is regarded as
of immense value.

great encouragement to our people
in many ways. 1t will tend to give
us some idea of the immensely Of the
domain we are called upon OF fight for
in order to preserve its integrity. It
must also convince that there can be
no reasonable fear of hunger in such
a land unless we lose either the in
clination or the ability to tickle our
soil to the yielding.
The result is also gratifying in that
there now is no question of our being
able to extend to our allies all need
ed supplies of food. Last spring this
matter doomed darkly as one of the
dire possibilities. That it no longer
exists will tend to remove at least
one of the sources of discomfort. Once
assured that we shall not want for
plenty, our people will view with will
lingness the exporting of supplies
across the waters.
The results of the years labors
should teach one more lesson. We
should remember that no task is so
great but that with the proper per-
severance and grit it may be accom-
plished. Also that there are very
few achievements but may be improv-
ed upon. If we can in a single seas
on so largely swell the national pro-
duction, we should in the next few
years, with an arousing of the we'll
known American pluck and ingenuity,
be able to discount even that record.
In fact it should teach us that we
have not yet even imagined limit to
what we could accomplish.
So, whatever other matters we may
have to give US disquiet, we may be
thankful that we shall not hunger
that there is enough and to spare.

drawn by Dunno & Co., to the City of

the estimates for installing the main
sewers. The work begun some weeks
ago and can 90 on now without in

get pipe and that is not probable. As

Here's a mighty sound paragraph
from the Chicago Tribune: Loyal
Americans are agreed that we must
win this war regardless of expense.
But while we are prepared to devote
our dollars without stint to every
legitimate war purpose, we reserve
the right to object to. wasteful ex-
penditures. While we do not urge
any penny-wise policy on the gov
eminent, we are justified in contend
ing that every dollar that is wasted
in national appropriations tends just
IS much to prOlOng the war as if it
were wasted by an individual.
