so, it may be that the young wo-

1--WE have hundreds of letters from
farmers expressing satisfaction and
gratitude for the help given to them
last summer by the girls. From the
Atlantic to the Pacific they ploughed,
planted, cultivated and harvested
crops; cut, stacked and loaded hay,
corn, rye and wheat, and did silo
work. They worked on the big COM
mercial farms, dairy farms, truck
farms, private estates and in home
gardens. They did poultry work,
dairy work, bee-keeping and team
ing. They learned to handle tractors,
harvesters and other farm machin-
cry. In slack seasons they scythed
brush. sawed and stacked wood and
did other work which was not strict
ly food production. In all these oc-
cupations they were success. Their
efficiency is proved by the change OF
attitude on the part of the farmers
from scepticism or incredulity re-
garding their ability to enthusiastic
appreciation.
''No arrangements had been made
last summer for supplying individual
help to the farmer. We were re-
sponsible for the girls sent out, and
they had our protection in the mat
ter of housing, hours and wages.
Each unit supplied itself with food. y

GIRLS LIKE FARMS;
NOT so With men
HEAD OF woN1EN's LAND ARMY
INQUIRIES.
Some Reasons Given
Students in College of Middle West
Say Girls Look Down on
Farmers.
(New York WOrld.)

While applications from women Tor
farm Jobs continue to pour into head
Quarters of the women's land army,
young men, especially discharged SOL
diers. show a marked Indifference to
this sort of labor. The women who
had their first taste of farm life last
year, under. pressure of war demands,
are eager to return to 1t this year.
In one of the big colleges of the
Middle West recently group of male
students were asked by their profess
ser why most of them scorned farm
work. Their reply was: 'sGirls some
how look down IN farmer. What
girl would marry us if we became
farmers?''
When the women's land army be-
came a division of the department OF
labor recently, Mrs. William H. HUI
bert of New York was made national
director, with headquarters - Wash
ington. Mrs. Hubert has returned
from a visit to many States, where
the work of the farmerette was car
ried on last summer. She confirmed
the reports of the employment bu-
reaus regarding the antipathy of men
to farm work.
i'eWe have been receiving for sever
al weeks past, both at Washington
and at our New York headquarters,
an average of 40 applications a day
from young women eager to go on
farms this summer" she said. "Many
of these applicants were members of
the land army last year. We then
had about $4,000 members. This
summer we expect a large increase
in number" Pointing to the state
ment by Food Commissioner Hoover
that the food administration had
pledged 2O,000,000 tons of food to
Europe this year, Mrs. Hubert said:
cit is for this reason that the gov
ernment decided that the women's
land army should not be demobilized, ,
but should be directed as part of
the nations service from Washing
ton. If this country is to produce the

big increased amount of food sup
plies this year it means vast army
to undertake the work So far the
response we are receiving from the
women is most encouraging. In d
few of the States l have just visited,
men have shown an interest in farm
ing as an occupation, and l believe in
these States many men will be re-
cruited for the seasons work; but IN
many States this interest is lacking;
men seem to prefer any sort of Work
to that which the land offers. Where
this condition prevails we shall make
every effort to enlist large numbers
of women, but the women's land ar
my is not competing with men in
farm labor; where men show a pref
erence for this work we are not sug.
gesting the employment of women.
''The women who enlisted for
farm service last year represented
women in all walks of life. In some
units as many as a dozen professions
were represented, while others in
cluded college women and young wo-
men of the leisure class, who were
familiar with certain phases of gar
dening because of the experience
they had had on their own estates.
''The girls served in many in
stances to develop new social life
in the community where they were
employed. They lived in tents or
barracks, located within reasonable
distance of the different farms or es-
tates where they were employed.
Each unit had it's own housekeeper,
so that when the girls had worked
eight hours they were not called up
on to do housework. If weather con-
ditions demanded extra time in get
ting in crops or in their cultivation
the farmer paid extra for it in pro-
portion to the daily wage of 50 in
most cases.
1.-The unit plan is not only advan-
tageous in itself, but is means to-
ward a new career for women who
may take up and manage their own
farms, or who may eventually be
placed individually as farm laborers
at the tasks for which they are es-
pecially fitted.
"Whenever a unit has been estab-
lished it has helped to form a COM
munity center and community spir-
it in rural districts. The women
have learned to love farm work and
to adapt themselves to country life.
Both Interesting and Healthful.
MANY young women who became
farm laborers last summer, just to
help out, found it so congenial, inter-
esting and healthful that they have
since become permanently identified
with country life. have heard of
some who married farmers; others,

The new reinstatement regulation,
one of a number under consideration

discharged soldier, sailor and marine
to continue government insurance
after return to civil life, is regarded
as the most liberal ever offered by any

must pay the premium for the one
month in which he requests reinstate'
