The Fate OF the Farm,

OF all the deep questions in
volvcd in the conflict now rag
ing, the question OF most vital
interest TO the people of the en-,
tire world is, What of til,
American farms this year,"
Possibly, too, no other fact
assumes such positive form as
that the farms and farmers of
America must win tho war If il
is to be won "a question that
can admit of no discussion.
But farms CAN NOE be op
Grated without man power.
And man power il the one
thing American farms lack
Then what is the answer
Man power MUST be supplied.
Easy enough to assert, but
far more difficult To accomplish.
For years NOW the farms of this
country have been gradually
depleted of the lusty young
blood that should have stayed
to enrich them The army has
added the cap sheaf by taking
hundreds OF thousands more.

the places of these young men

an even greater. crop of all sta
Piles this year than was pro

with the Tact that the remand

We confess our utter inability
to see how the farms OF the

towards convincing the doubt

There are a number of fea

which, if successfully worked
out, will clearly demonstrate
the ability of the Government

Foremost among these is the
matter of labor. For II number
OF years now the operatives
have been consolidating their

have presented almost n solid

that any demand Of theirs inev
itably assumed the aspect OF Il

them, the management knew to
be fraught with the grave dan

1t will be interesting to watch
the progress Of the Government
in handling this hugo army of
thoroughly organized workers.

failed in the task; can Uncle
Sam succeed?
