RESPONSIBILITY OF TOWN
PEOPLE IN PRODUCTION OF

Communities Must Be Ready to Aid
Farmers.
(By David F. Houston, Secretary of

(By David F. Houston, Secretary OF
Agricultural
There is an opportunity now for
urban people, sympathetically and
constructively to study the farm labor
situation, and to render assistance. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience,
who are able-bodied, and who would
doubtless be willing to serve the Ma
ton in the field of agriculture at this
time. Especially for the seasonal
strains of planting, cultivating, and
harvesting, it will not be too much to
ask such men to aid the farmers in
the necessary undertaking Of main
tanning, and if possible, supplement-
ing the food supply in order to feed
the armies, and to sustain the civil
liam population behind them. If the
soldiers are willing to serve in the
trenches, to dig bitches, to build rail
roads, and risk their lives, many civil
lians can we'll afford to spare a part
of their time to serve in the burrows
and in the harvest field. If it ap-
pears that the farmers of commit
nifty or region are not able to secure
the necessary labor, by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the towns
or city Immediately dependent upor
that region should organize, and es
tablish touch with the representa-
tive farm leaders, and see if they
cannot assist in solving the problem
In so doing they will not only aid the
farmers of the Nation. but they vii
vitally contribute to their own vel
being and to that of the community.
The farmers are willing to do al
that they humanity can, but wf.er
the labor supply cannot be Furnished
from the ordinary sources, it must b
recruited from those whose very sus
tenance depends upon the farmers
The soldier and the farmer are cage
to do their full share: the soldie
is taking chances Of losing his lif'
and the farmer is risking the labor
of a year on the chance of the sea
sons; both incur risks. Very man
civilians are equally eager to do the
full share, but may not appreciate t.
opportunity to serve in the field

though the crowd was somewhat
small, a good time any way. With US

the sign and departed after making
most interesting lecture, then we
called off until 8 o'clock at night,
meeting for servises then Sunday
morning the Sunday school was called
together. The Bible lesson was
taught by DR.. F. Lowry, then a lee

Mr.. English Jacobs experienced a
sad visit of death in his home Satur-

ly business men, could cooperate eT-
fectively with the farmers and also
render much assistance.
The Farm Labor Problem.
To make sure that there will be
ample labor to cultivate and harvest
the largest crops which American
farmers can plant, the U. S. Public
Service Reserve will create an Emee-
gency Farm Labor Section. 1t will
start soon a campaign to enroll at
least five hundred thousand members
for this purpose.
This force is to be essentially a re-
serve. It will be composed Of men
who are ready to give from one to
two days week to work on the farms
in their neighborhood to those who
can devote a month or more where
ever they may be needed. Men who
can start at once, and give all their
time during the greater part of the
farming season should not go into the
reserve, but should find work on the
farms Immediately. In view Of the
possibility that the supply of labor
available, supplemented as it will be
by the large force of boys who are
joining the U. S. Boys Working Re-
serve, may not be sufficient to meet
the demands. it is imperative that
there be built up an emergency re-
serve large enough to supply any pos
sible demands. The health and com
fort of millions of Americans, as well
| as the fate of the war, hang largely
upon our ability to raise and harvest
this year larger supply of foodstuffs
than ever we have produced before.
There is available host Of men who
will be able and glad to devote part
| of their time this summer to farm
work if the country needs them Col
lege students, professional men. clerks
and other employees who have vaca
tions should be willing to give then
this year to productive work out o1
doors. Men who have heretofore
worked at farming should be esne
