"sHocK TROOPS IN FIELDS.
They Are Leaving Cities and Towns L
Aid Farmers in Shocking Wheat.

Washington. July 12.-"Shock troops
are busy in American wheat fields. as
well as on the western battle front.
| When the German war lords command
an advance at any cost. shock troops
are sent forward to buy yards OF
ground with thousands Of lives, but the
American agricultural shock troops
advance in q different manner. They
are town men who have volunteered TO
help farmers cut and shock their wheat,
and thus are doing their part in making
the battle line firm.
Here are two instances, reported to
the United States department Of agr.-
culture. Of how towns and cities are
helping to meet the need for harvest
workers on American farms:
A South Dakota county has organized
all It's towns When labor is needed
all business places close early and the
town men go in automobiles to every
quarter Of the county. When they come
to fields cut but not shocked they get
| out and shock. and then proceed TO
other fields needing them. They don't
talk about pay or who is doing the
work. 'If the farmer wants to donate
the money which he would spend for
! labor to the Red Cross that is his bust
ness" says letter from South Dakota,
and l think that is where most OF the
money will CO."
Shock troops" are cutting and
shocking wheat in Warrick county.
Indiana, also. Volunteer business men.
clerks and laborers in the towns finish
their town work and then are taken in
automobiles to help the farmers. In
one evening forty men shocked more
than eighty acres Of wheat.
These forces have been organized
thru cooperation of farm help special
| lists Of the United States department of
agriculture. county agents, county
councils Of defense and other bodies.
