Makes French Farms
Productive

American Committee for Devastated
France Adopts Policy Whereby
Refugees Raise Much-needed
Crops.
Farm Labor Problems In France
are being taken up seriously by the
American committee for devasted
France, which has communicated
the plan of its work to the Depart
ment Of Labor. The committees
aim Is to increase the productivity Of
French farms as much A. possible
and TO make France 40 nearly SELF
supporting a. it can, so that the
produce from American farms can
be supplemented by grain and other
toodstuffs grown At home.
Because Of the near approach Of
winter the committee is not at
tempting this season to deal with
abandoned farms, but Is working
with farms already undern cultiya-
ton.
The committee 10 particularly In
terested in two types Of refugees
the farm owners and the hired Ia
borers. Many farmers, driven from
their own lands by the invader, want
to be placed on land where they can
earn livelihood for themselves and
their families. Many have been
able to take with them a part Of
their live stock, and the committee
places them, when possible, on its
farm colonies,
The committee has, ali told, about
1900 acres, but there 10000 refugees
in the Eure-et-Loir alone since the
last offensive. It is the practice OF
the committee to pay men francs
a day and women 3 francs when it
hires them for farm work.
A new bill enacted in France
makes it possible for an abandoned
farm to claim SIS an acre for cult
walton. The obje~t of the bill is to
facilitate the cultivation Of aban-
doned or partly abandoned soil in
France.
