Aldina the Labor Supply.

The departments of agriculture and
labor through representatives of the
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies are doing the following things to
aid the farm labor supply, according
to recent statement of Secretary
Houston: (a) Making survey Of the
farm-labor situation in each COM
munity with view to discovering
possible surpluses of labor in order to
be ready to assist in furnishing labor
wherever 1t is needed; (b) assisting
again in shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state
to state, as in past years; (c) pro-
noting fuller cooperation among
farmers in the same community; (d)
making available, SO far as possible.

have had experience in farming and
who are not normally regularly or
fully employed in farming operations;
(e) making every effort to see that

machinery and its fuller use as
supplement to hand labor.

By M, QUAD,

When Mr.. Bowser entered his family
drug store the other evening he found
a middle-aged man dressed in khaki
uniform to show that he belonged to
the army. The druggist saw that Mr..
Bowser was working up fatherly
expression Of face and was likely to
have something to say, and he gave
the soldier boy the wink.

Mr.. Bowser a minute later.
"Yes," was the reply.

tinued Mr.. Bowser. II am glad to see
you in that uniform. 1t shows. sir.
that you love your country and are
enrolled among patriots. instead Of

out of the army. One would say. from

"Others have told me the same

Bowser, as he detected a faint smile
on the soldiers face.
"Well-well-er, ought to. think.
as 1 have been 20 years in the regular
army"
Mr.. Bowser had wasted his time.
He stood with mouth open, while the
soldier went out with salute at the
door, and then the druggist said:
"Bowser, few of US are trying to
raise 500 for the Red Cross fund.
VIII you put your name down on this
list for $40 contribution"
And Mr.. Bowser wrote his name on
the list, and handed over the $40 and
went home to keep so quiet the rest
of the evening that Mrs. Bowser won

privates. You may be cleaning your

come up to you and call you son of
a sea cook, a skunk in the brush and
lots Of other hard names. He does not
do 1t to be mean, but it's only his way,
you see. Do not sass back, but smile
as you look at him. He will become
ashamed of himself and walk away"

the soldier. II shall want to knock
him down, but know all about that
gulf and shall keep my temper. You
are very kind. sir, to talk to me as
you do"

Bowser, in his off-hand way. II wish
that 1 could talk to thousand of you

trouble.

URGE CAUTION IN PREPARING
Volunteers Should Be Organized In
Units and Provision Made for Their
Own Living Decentralization
for Each Unit.
PRELIMINARY TRAINING

If it becomes necessary in
case of an acute farm labor
stringency to accept woman vol
unteers for farming operations
other than the lighter ones to
which they are accustomed, some
sort of preliminary training will
be necessary to utilize the large
class of woman volunteers from
the cities who are unfamiliar
with farm work. This article
points out some suggestions and
precautions that should be TAX
en- into consideration in prepar-
ing women for these tasks. The
suggestions given here have been
obtained in a study of this prob
lem by specialists Of the United
States department Of agricul-
ture, both in this country and
in other countries. Many of the
suggestions are based on the ex-
periences Of England. which has
trained and Is using 100000
women on farms.

Thousands of women in all parts of
the country are volunteering to help
out on farms that will be short of
man power this season. The letter
which follows is typical Of many
which are coming to the United
States department of agriculture. De-
partment officials do not believe that
women will be required in the heavier
farming operations, but in the lighter
labor on fruit and truck farms and In
helping farm women with their tasks
there will be work for women hands.

at least sufficient skill to be acceptable
to the farmer.
Ascertain II Needed.
Before training the volunteers some
method should be devised for ascer-
tanning whether there Is demand for
the woman workers in the kind of
work they are preparing to undertake.
This information could be obtained
from the state agricultural college and
the state farm help specialist en-
ployed by this department. Great
care should be exercised not to pre-
pare women to go on farms before
there Is an actual demand for their
labor.
After completing the training, the
women should not be sent into the
localities where they are to work until
some one has preceded them to make
arrangements for their housing and
to determine the basis of wages, etc.
In most instances the living quarters
would consist Of camping outfit, as
such quarters as they might obtain in
the community would be the least de-
sirable of those in the community.
Generally 1t would be desirable to have

no farm work, but would act as gen.
eral chaperon and matron and would
see to the domestic phases Of their

Make Farming a Business.

A young man who Is now starting to
farm needs to know his business.
Through farm management demon
strations the county agent can show
him his labor income, that is, what
he had left of his receipts after paying
expenses and allowing for interest on
the investment, and can show him
how his labor income compares with
those of the most successful farmers
in that community. The showing will
help him make study of his farm
business and to determine upon
