In the course OF an interview In the
Christian Science Monitor. Professor
Taylor says that to produce more food
the American farmer must have more
help. and from these three classes
must come the laborers.
The retired farmer must look upon
himself as q part OF the nations agri-
cultural reserve" saya Mr.. Taylor. lie
estimates that there are 1905. 900 OF
such men In the United States who are
capable OF doing a large amount Of
der q better service on the farm than
inexperienced men from the cities.
Professor Taylor asserts that every
farmer should be given the custody
OF some boy OF high school age to
work for him during the summer
Tho best vny to use these boys is
to place them with men who have the
patience to train them and who know
hat-tos expocedn the way of results. .
says Professor Taylor. III each. re-
tired farmer would take the rcsponsi-
bility OF high school boy and work
with him all eummer on the farm. he
would be doing double service for his
country. The most serious objection
70 the high school boys on the part OF
the farmer is their demand for excess
i've wages.
The women and girls can help
greatly In the present and future
emergency. On the typical farm the
farmer and his team spend a very
short day in the field. With the chores

In the field In sometimes greatly re-
duced. The solution is simple. and all
must willingly sacrifice. Let women
do the chores and leave the men In
the helds for ten-hour day. How can
