The majority Of soldiers who enter
ed the army from the farms are re-
turning to them Immediately after re-
ceiving their discharges from military
duty. This furnishes the brightest
spot In situation that Is not yet en-
tirely satisfactory, but that promises
steady Improvement, although there
is still no indication of a decided
movement back to the farm by men
who were attracted from food-produc-
tion work by high wages in indus
trial pursuits.
Careful surveys made in army
camps by the departments farm help
specialists of the department Of agri-
culture furnish ample proof to re-
flute statements that have appeared
In the press that from rs per cent
to 90 per cent of the men who were
called by the army from the farms
are not returning to them. IN Vir-
ginia camp the specialists found that
during the first three weeks In April
9S.2 per cent Of such men discharged
actually returned to the farms. Dur
ing the week ending April 5 the
specialists interviewed 2,021 men at
this camp. 1t was found that 933
were from farms and all but 15 of
that number intended to return. Dur
ing the following week 2,10S tnen
were interviewed. IL was found that
COL were from farms and all but IA
intended to return. The next week
ZIG men were interviewed. OF this
number 1854 had formerly been en-
ployed on farms. and all but 5 intend
ed to return.
These figures are the actual result
of personal interviews with each man.
It was found also that number Of
those who had previously been en-
gagged In other occupations expressed
n desire to take up farming. During

the three weeks mentioned per cent
of the men discharged and who were
not farming when they entered the
army intended to take up farming.
OF the Is per cent Of the soldiers
who had been on farms previous to
entering the army, and who did not
intend to return, the reason given
by per cent was that the men were
disabled and therefore unable to do
heavy farm work. At least half of
this number are taking up vocational
courses In agriculture which will fit
them for class of farm work which
does not require hard physical effort.
Practically the entire remaining
eight-tenths per cent had been farm
ing with their parents or were ten
ants and considered it too late to
farm this year, as other help had
been secured.
A similar report from the farm
help specialist in charge Of the work
at Camp Gordon, Ga, shows that
during 4 weeks in April 3,291 farmers
were discharged from that camp. Of
that number 'S3 were directed to sit
uations on the farms in Georgia,
while 2,342 said they were returning
to their jobs or homes on the farms,
and the remaining 866 did not desire
to go back to farm work.
At another camp 30 farmers were
personally interviewed and 20 stated
that they were going back to the
farm Immediately on receipt Of their
discharges.

After the corn is two or three feet

Maintain a loose soil mulch two or

letting it run off.
Proper Cultivation.
