Women should not be trained to go
on farms before there is an actual
and imperative need for their services.
The department of agriculture hopes
that it will not be necessary to employ
women in heavier lines Of farm work
than they have been accustomed to
doing. If, to save the food harvest,
women are needed in the heavier
operations and the development and
training of unskiIled woman workers
appears advisable, the following points
should be taken into consideration:
No woman should be accepted who
is not at least eighteen years of age.
The wisest policy would be first to
register those women who are willing
to undertake this kind of work, having
them indicate their previous training
and experience kind of farm work
they desire to take up, and length of
time they can devote to it.
Two Weeks Training.
Before going on the farm, the
women should If possible undertake a
course of training extended over two
weeks or more under skilled instruc
tor. This course might be given at an
agricultural or woman's college, agri-
cultural schools, or on farm donated
by some patriotic individual as a prac-
tice farm. In some instances the
course might be under the auspices
of the extension division of the agri-
cultural college. Care should be taken
that no institutions are built up to
perform functions that might be per-
formed by institutions already in
existence.
This two weeks of training would
give opportunity TO eliminate those
not physically able to endure farm
labor, and also those whose mental
makeup is such as to make them
unavailable. 1t would also give them
sufficient skill so that they would be
acceptable to the farmers. Such ex-
perience in obtaining woman laborers
as has been had indicates that the
farmer usually is not willing to take
woman farm workers into his home,
and therefore the women will have to
be organized in units and provide for
their own living quarters. This fact
restricts the types of farm enterprises
in which the women will be able to
engage to such as are very intensive
in character, and highly localized.
The types of farm enterprises of this
kind would be such crops as apples,
peaches, grapes. onions, cabbage, pota-
toes, strawberries. etc. The training
should be such that when the women
went to the farmers they would have

PRELIMINARY TRAINING

If it becomes necessary in
case of an acute farm labor
stringency to accept woman vol
unteers for farming operations
other than the lighter ones to
which they are accustomed, some
sort of preliminary training will
be necessary to utilize the large
class of woman volunteers from
the cities who are unfamiliar
with farm work. This article
points out some suggestions and
precautions that should be tax
en- into consideration in prepar-
ing women for these tasks. The
suggestions given here have been
obtained in a study Of this prob
lem by specialists of the United
States department Of agricul-
ture, both in this country and
in other countries. Many of the
suggestions are based on the ex-
periences of England, which has
trained and is using 100000
women on farms.
