Wv farm employment bureau should
be operated in connection with it. Then
if these employment agencies will keep in
touch with the big centers of population
much can be done to solve the farm labor
problem
The department of agriculture is doing
what it can by keeping representatives at
the rehabilitation camps, to inform sol
diers of the openings and opportunities Of
agriculture. But more than this is re-
quired if the million men needed on the
farms are to be found.
There seems to be a thorough under
standing of the need of farm labor, but
what is necessary is more direct effort to
get the employer and employee together.
Here is where the farm organization comes

Let Them Work.

II r ERBERT HOOVER says: 1.-The slo-
III gan of Europe ought to be Get back
II Il to work. There are some four or
five million people in Europe who, year by
year, can just barely manage to produce
enough in food, or commodities which
they can exchange for food to live. with
no great gain in their reserves or in their
wealth.
10 great extent the whole produc-
ton clock is stopped. We are working on
wholly artificial basis that cannot last.
Ii Europe does not get down to work in
a very short time, we are to have repeti-
ton of this present food situation year
hence, and the world will then be much
less able to stand the shock than it can
now''
There is the whole thing in nut shell
Before the war; there were those millions
OF people producing just enough to live
on as they went along. During the war;
millions OF them not only stopped produc-
ing, but were actually wasting what had
been produced before and what was being
produced then. For war, with it's desola-
ton of producing country, it's enormous
consumption of effort and material for de-
structlve purposes, is simply another word
of waste.
