WOMEN MUST co
BACK To FARMS
Mrs. Mccormick Says 1t is
Only Way to Win War
Would Release Men.

WASHINGTON, May 27-Ameri-
can women must leave their old
Drovince-the home-if the war is
10 be won They must go back TO
the soil They must forget their in
dividual aims and turn to and pro-
duce food for the lighting mem
There must be teamwork if the war
is 10 be won, and wOman's part is
10 supply the ammunition Tor man
EOwer-food. These are the ideas
which Mrs Stanley Mccormick,
head of the food production division
OF the wOmen's national council of
defense is putting forth TO the Amer
lean women.
The time has come, Mrs McCor-
mick saws, when wOman's place is
TO longer i'm her home, but in the
fields, producing food for the men
who are lighting over there.
Women can do il, she declares, and
has been accom- lished in agricul-
ture by the women of England and
Canada. Moreover she is of the
opinion that when the war is over
men will ind that agriculture is no
longer their field and their held
alone, for woman will have proven
that she, too, can till the soil sue
cessfully.
OF course, il can't all be done in
g day. Even Mrs. Mccormick. en-
thusiastic as she is, admits this.
Il rlr IL
of farm work" Mrs. Mccormick
says, although labor readjustments
must come slowly in this country.
Our women are Just beginning 10
realize what is ahead of them II
has heretofore been considered that
the indoors was womans province.
IL is now being brought TO their
realization that there is a big out
door held that is claiming their eff
forts
There was an enormous amount
OF work done last year in the way
of individual gardens Some of that
effort was wasted for the reason
that it was impossible TO get the
crops harvested and distri buted. one
Of the chief 'don'ts' for this season
should be don't plant too much
My advice 10 every woman who
- planting a garden is TO try and
make her garden in accordance with
the per capita consumption of the
members Of her family. This will
eliminate the factor of wastage and
the problem Of distribution Last
year that caused considerable dis
enlargement: with better planning
this year no woman need feel dis
couraged because her garden has
produced more than she can dispose
Of"
Women can put i'm very profit
able summers in the held| %rs. Nc
COrmick declares. she points out
that girl students and school teach
ers have long summer months free
20 them. and she maintains that
there is no more profita bic or better
way 10 spend summer vacation
than 10 spend IL IN the fields
Dehydration is another one of
Mrs Mccormick suggestions for
women. BY dehydrating vegeta bles
and fruits Mrs. Mccormick declares
that women can conserve every bit
of the food produced ON the farms
this season Moreover, this is
most satisfactory answer 20 the win
ter question of what shall we have
for dinner" Another thing in ia
vor OF dehydration is the money
saved II costs hut about one-third
of the cost Of canning, according TO
Mrs Mccormick
