SOLDIERS WILL FARM
Spring And Autumn FurIoughs Are
Promised By Secretary Baker.

Secretary Of War Baker is formu-
lating plans to restore farm labor to
the fields during the summer and
autumn of 1918, by voluntary
action on part of the men in camps
and other military service. A few
days ago he was waited upon by a
delegation of New York farmers,
including officers of the Federation
of Farm Bureaus of that state, and
informed that, unless the govern
ment made it possible for farmers
to secure more help during 1918
than they had had last year, the
harvests might be expected to be
less instead Of greater than those of
1917.
Secretary Baker told his callers
he was working out a plan to meet
this suggestion, and that he expect.
ed II to give desired results. lie
does not propose to conscript any
labor for farms. Instead, he will
grant iirloughs for long periods Of
time, next summer and fell, to men
in military camps and in other
branches of the service, on condi'
ton that the men furlouehed have
applied themselves with such dill.
gence to training that they will
have earned a respite from that
task, and provided, further, that
they will agree to work on farms
during the time specified in the fur.
