are working in shops and factories,
where they get from three to ten times
their former pay.
In virtually every field of focd pro-
duction the outlook is similarly dis
heartening, due everywhere to an UNI
precedented lack of labor. "The short
age of help on the farms of Pennsyl-
vania and the entire country" says
Secretary Rasmussen or the Peensyl-
vania department of agriculture "is
brining about an extremely serious
condition in our nation. 1t is not that
the farmers do not want to produce
more. 1t is to the farmers interest to
have the miXimum use of his acreage.
H esimply cannot get the help and can
only plant the acreage that he and the
immediate members of his family can
harvest. Agents for industrial firms
are going about the state signing up
what few men remain on the farms, of
fering wages that the farmers do not
dare to meet"
If more facts be needed, we may cite
Secretary Rasmussen's estimate that
in the United States as whole are
4 100000 fewer acres sUwed to wheat
than year ago, and 12000,00O fewer
to rye. With these facts as food for
thought-and they represent only "A
,,,t Of l,A trV,f Ian 1n In
even to the casual thinker that the
spell of unreasonable spring weather
which has delayed early planting, and
thus extended the opportunity for
home gardens, is a blessing in dis
guise.
The situation, when boiled down, is
this-at no time in recent years has
every indication pointed to such an
acute food shortage as must come next
fall and winter, unless every effort is
made to avert such catastrophe.
For. added to the unfavorable factors
above noted, is a scarcity of fertilizers.
The supply for spring use is placed at
as per cent of the normal need, with
prices so high that the conservative
farmer hesitates to buy all he can use,
even if he can get it. This means thin
ner spreading and lower yield per
acre.
So the home garden at this writing
must beviewed in the light of de-
tense against famine It's contribution
to health and education is, for the time
being, a secondhand consideration. In
der existing conditions it assumes the
important role of insurance against
hunger. AS we already have said,
weather conditions in this and many
other parts of the country have made
it possible to plant such gardens any

Certain facts made public within the
last month undoubtedly viii impress
the average person with the vital i'm
portance of contributing to the COM
ing seasons food supply The govern
ment crop report has placed the condi-
tion of the winter wheat 756, far the
poorest in ten years. When 1t is re-
membered that the acreage planted to
winter wheat is % per cent. less than
lsast year, and that the same figure
hold for rye, this eestimate becomes
unpleasantly significant.
More than $1,000 farms in Pennsyl-
vania are without the necessary help
to produce normal grain and vegetable
crops. This is an increase of nearly
$4,000 over last year, and evidences a
really alarming condition in food pro-
duction. In New York state there will
be reduction of one-third of a million
acres in cultivated lands for the cur
rent year, because of the scarcity of
help.
From Maine, the foremost potato
state, comes the news of hundreds of
farms and scores of country towns
where no males between 16 and 60 are
left; where only the women folk and
old men are available for soil tilling.
Similar conditions are reported from
New Hampshire and Vermont. Italso
