hopes to be a second "Rodey." And
he knows the Billy Sunday hymns.
He can sing Brighten Up the
Corner Where You Are" as vim
fully as any grown up. OF course.
as he is a very little boy he says
"bwighten" instead of brighten"
and a few things like that.

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur
ban people sympathetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David +. Houston, secretary of agri-
culture, in a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience. who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary I'M
dertaking of maintaining and, if posi-
BILE, supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If it appears that the farmers Of a
community orSregion are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see If they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows it's own problems, and urban
people. especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

Men and Boys Firstl

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think of women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, Office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
viding the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be Of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks. especially in preparing the
large amount of food needed for har-
yesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place Of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks in office, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to wom-
ems physical strength.
