INGENIOUS AMERICANS PLAN
 MANY WAYS ID MEET GREAT
 SHORTAGE OF FARM WORKERS

t':em at the camp for the full period of training-farmers wanted them be- fore they had completed the preserib- ed course.
 Wasco County, Oregon, foresaw a shortage of labor for cherry picking, and the Chamber of Commerce of The Dalles arranged, in advance of the harvest, for the cooperation of the Portland Free Employment Bureau in getting workers to the county when needed. About 200 pickers were se- cured and 2,000 tons of cherries were harvested, crop loss being averted | by the local labor needs having been anticipated and arranged for. | In Adams County, Pennsylvania the apple crop of the South Mountain Felt needed pickers, and no labor was available. From two of the manual training High schools of Philadelphia forty-eight boys went to this section anF worked in the orchards, living in camps which were in charge of super visors from the school or Y. M. c. A. moving from orchard to orchard as they were needed.
 | In two boys camps in Arizona 1ast year 129 boys hood 1000 acres of cot ton and cultivated 85 acres of melons and 25 acres of potatoes.
 In an Indiana county the head of 2 big cannery saw that the local truck supply, upon which he depended would be greatly curtailed unless ths labor shortage was relieved. He die not want to have to shut down his canning factory. So he financed z boys training camp and the forty boys who were trained there supplied the truckers with enough labor te carry the gardens through in gooG shape.
 Cherries were harvested in Doo1 County, Wisconsin, by 150 boys in { Y. M. c. A. camp and by smaller number of boys in a boy-scout camp the first outfit from Milwaukee ant the second from Chicago. The boy:
 converting them into temporary bar
 racks. They were under semi-mili
 tary discipline, as was the case il
 practically all boy camps throughou
 the country.
 The Secretary of the r. M. c. A. a
 La Grande, Ore, last year was made
 labor agent of that county and al
 co-operated with the farmers in SC
 curing labor. Transient laborers were required to register with the labol
 agent, and either go to work or move on.

At the request of The United States Food Administration We Americans are asked to eat corn and let | the wheat go to France.
 Because
 Wheat bread is the food of the French man, peasant or aristocrat. Ioaves of sweet | smelling wheat and nice rolls of wheat. The French do not raise corn to any extent. Sci entifc agriculturists say that corn will not ripen sweet in France. And the French have no mills for grinding corn if it could be set to them. Corn is typically an American cereal for the Indians raised it before Co., lumbus came It somehow belongs to us. It is a little difficult to introduce a new and strange food to any people, doubly hard in war time when they are so distressed as the French people are to-day.
 And our soldiers are there. Let us give | them the wheat.

Shipbuilding Will
Continue After the
Coming of Peace
Vice-President Piez An
nounces There Will Be
No Slowing Down

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3O.-An
nouncement that the coming of peace
will not slow down materially the ship
building activities of the yards firing
ing the Delaware River is made by
Charles Piez, ice-president and GEN
eral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. The work will be less
overtime labor. Further assurance
that no move is contemplated to cur
tail operations is given daily in ad-
vertlsements in the papers here for
skilled and unskilled workmen for en-
ployment at the yards.
Ships and more ships, according to
Mr.. Piez, will be needed to TRANSPORT
food supplies to feed Europe and for
the necessary materials that will be
required for the reconstruction period
IN the war stricken area.
I'VE must continue to build ships
for an indefinite period to carry On
that work." said Mr.. Piez, "as there
are not nearly enough at present. If
any changes are made in our building
programme they will affect only the
form and degree of the work outlined"
There is to be no wholesale cancella-
ton of contracts or the elimination of
departments, insisted Mr.. Piez. who de-
clarcd that whatever changes are nee
essary will be of & gradual sort, and
workers whose departments may be
abandoned will be placed in other
branches of the industry.
At the worlds largest shipyard-
Hog Island--work will 60 steadily
ahead, and men skilled in building yes
sells will have no difficulty in getting
employment there. Men without e.
perience may find employment also;
for the school of instruction where
green hands" have been converted
into shipbuilders will be continued.

Conservation Week for World Relief
begins to-day. when the food admins
tration launches in this country what
1t declares to be "the greatest food
saving campaign" christening it with
the slogan Food Will Win the World -
The Administration made public yes
terday figures showing that the food
stocks of this country were slightly
IN excess of the pre-war average, bal
anced them with information concern
ing 29o,o00.o0o people in friendly Eu-
rope dependent on the United States
for food and outlined its plans for
saving 20,o00,000 tons of food for ex-
port.
Rules for Saving
It's rules for saving are:
Live simply.
Reduce to the lowest margin con-
slstent with health and strength our
consumption of all vital foodstuffs
particularly butter, condensed milk
and ultima ately all fats.
Cut out the fourth meal'-after-
noon teas and theatre suppers.
Don't eat between meals.
"Contlnue the conservation prac-
tised during the war and increase it
wherever possible.
Waste nothing-make every ounce
of food count.
Make the garbage pail an unnec-
essary kitchen utensil.
When tempted to eat more than
YOU need remember the hungry mill
ions of Europe.
"1he food saved through conserva-
ton, plus our surplus, will help
feed Europe and aid in stabilizing
the governments shaken by social dis
order and anarchy
Conservation " eek is to be devot
ed to organizing the country for OBJ
serving the rules. The cooperation of
churches, colleges, schools and other
institutions and organizations has been
obtained. Hotel and restaurant men
have been enlisted. There remains the
vital task of enlisting the housewife
which is to be done by appeals to her
humanity and Intelligence.
Hoover Sen6.ng Message
The Federal Food Board here issued
a statement yesterday, saying:
"A message from Herbert Hoover,
United States Food Administrator, now

Tuesday will be Conservation Rally
