Woman Farmers.

Women in every section of the coun-
try are expressing their w4.Ingness to
work on farms. This expression comes
IN letters to various governmental
heads at Washington. School teachers
and clubwomen are among those who
have offered their services since the
announcement from the Department of
Labor that there will be a national
registration OF women availab BILE for the
lighter forms Of farm labor. A school
principal in New Jersey has suggested
the mobilization of woman teachers
throughout the country for the division
or farm service. He says farm work
should appeal to the teacher as a
profitable and healthy way of spend
ing the vacation. The woman's com
mittee of the Council of National De
tense and the Department of AgricuI
ture asks women who wish to train for
such work to first consult the state dj
rector of extension at the State Col
iege OF Agriculture and the farm helm
specialist of the United States Denart
ment of Agriculture. whose address
may be had upon application to either
the Department of Labor or the wom-
ans committee
According to a late Agricultural re-
port there are 1900. 900 women in Tho
