 Fsen Help a Problem.
 W. E. Reach of the West Side k directing attentiin to the seriou. problem that will confront the farm CTS of Brooklyn and other towns thi' spring by reason of almost total lacl of farm help. Without doubt cam paign will be started in the very nea future to urge upon farmers the neet of raising bumper crops.
 | points out. but unless some effectst plan of getting help to work upon tn farms, all the talk about raising bil crops to feed our allies and ourselve will go for nothing.
 In the whole town of Brooklyn which is almost exclusively a farn district, there are not half a dozel 1 hired men on the farms today. And n hired men can be obtained. If men can be drafted to fight in tn ranks, it should be possible also t draft them to work on the farms, MI Reach contends. and he believes thi to be particularly true if, SS has bee said a million times. big crops mus be raised as one of the chief means c . winning the war
 What is true in Brooklyn as to farr | labor is also true to greater or Jesse i extent in practically all of the farm ing towns in the county. The farmer have the land and the will to do bi :: things in the way of crop raising, !. they can have some men to work wit f them, but they are not in a positio , to pay wartime scales of wages competition with great industrial en = terprises and therefore cannot irdue men to come on to the farm and hei ! them.
 $ The situation that the farmers se ]. before them for the coming spring . very clear as to the need of help, an if help is not supplied all the pep-'em l up speeches in the world are not goin
 to amount to so much as a nickel
 the Waldorf.
