As a Nat on

AS the new year begins and ! look
back at the notes wrote down after
that climactic Sunday when we re-
ceived word that the Japanese had
made their surprise attack on
Hawaii, they seem very dull and
drab But some of the memories
are very keen. This in spite of the
fact that ever since then life has
been running at such a rapid rate
each day, each hour and frequently
each minute, that it has been diff
ficult to see anything but the very
vivid present.

Farm Labor Situation
Is Given Careful Study
Government DeviSeS Plan for Complete
Utilization of Local Workers tG Aid in
Nations Food-for- Victory Campaign.
By BAUKHAGE
National Farm and Home Hour Commentator.

WNU Service, 1343 H Street. NV.
Washington, d. G.
AS the New Year starts, reports
are beginning to come in to the Fed
eral Security administration here
from supervisors of farm place
ment, in the 48 states. These reports
state just what the farmers in each
state are going to need in the way
of labor this spring. and how these
state supervisors who are on the
ground studying the question, feel
the problem ought to be met.
Meanwhile, Washington has been
working on general program
whose goal is the complete utiliza-
ton" Of all local labor. This means
that every conceivable reservoir Of
man-and-woman-power is to be
tapped to make this good earth Of
ours yield its utmost for the food
for victory campaign. Students,
members of the CCC and the NYA
and every other group, organized or
unorganized, is to be called upon to
keep the chow line going for democ-
racy at arms.
Nobody knows better than the
folks who are out recruiting for the
farm battalions that you can't just
push a man through the barn door
or into a pasture and call him a
farmer. 1t takes training and that
is part OF the master-plan which is
now being worked out.
But meanwhile there are lot Of
people who have had farming ex-
perience who are available, skilled
or semi-skilled. And then there are
some jobs which don't need skills,
but do require mass employment
for short periods.
An Oregon Plan
Take what happened out in Oregon
this last fall for instance. Oregon
ians have already taken hold of this
farm placement" idea and made it
work. Along came the snap-bean
crop and a drastic shortage Of
hands. They were found in every
walk of life. 1t meant temporary
closing up of lot of shops and bust
nesses and other enterprises but they
got the crop in and they didn't
paralyze the communities. 1t
couldn't have been done, though,
with the best of will, If there hadn't
been a sound plan behind it.
The farmers now have two COM
petitors for labor. the factory and
military service. Industry has al
ways offered higher wages. But
present farm wages are up higher

Patriotism Among Prisoners

Among the communications received by President
Roosevelt recently petition signed by fifteen
hundred of the toughest convicts in the nation These
inmates OF Folsom prison in California requested that
they be assigned national defense duties
This cooperative spirit among prisoners pays
tribute to the greatness of this nation These outlaws
of society want to do their part to save their nation
from the fangs of the aggressors.
These men-behindthe-bars are setting an example
for our people We, who glory so much in the free
dom of the United States must meet the challenge
and do our part to preserve the world against gang
sterism.

than they have been in II years.
So the farm hand can't complain on
that score. And the real patriot is
the one who does what he can do
best for Uncle Sam.
Then there are still a lot of farm

the cities where they have not
secured employment or they have
found themselves misfits. The Unit

going after these people and are
going to lure them out of their fats

OUTPUT SWELLING

Mr.. Roosevelt shed new light
on the gigantic American war pro-
duction program. He mentioned
as a specific example of
the swelling rate of production.
A reporter, mindful that last
January the President asked for
steps ito increase our
production rate of airplanes so
that in this year, 1912, we
shall produce $4,000 airplanes,"
asked the President:
Didn't you ask for 10000 air
planes this year,"
The President replied negatively,
saying that he had asked for
production at the rate of 10000
planes annually by the end of 1912.
His program calls for a hike to
1854 planes in 1913.
Mr.. Roosevelt also was con-
WINGED that the people of the
country are iittery about rising
living costs and want something
done about them.
|. The population, he said, is ready
for greater war sacrifice than any
yet offered by Washington, and he
indicated that his future actions
would be governed by that belief.
Mr.. Roosevelt left Washington
September II and by the time he
returned had visited "a states. nine
of the nations largest war plants,
Including the Chrysler tank ar
senal and the Ford bomber plant
at Willow Run, Mich, two record
smashing shipyards, seven naval
stations, eight army camps and
two marine training centers.
In his two weeks swing Mr.
Roosevelt was accompanied by one
each of the United
Press, International News Service
and the Associated Press.
HIS SPIRITS LIFTED
Mr. Roosevelt returned from his
trip obviously lifted by what he
had seen. He was especially i'm
pressed by the fighting spirit of
war workers and others with
whom he came in contact. He said
both workers and management
were working magnificently to-
ward war production goals.
The President did not make any
Imajor addresses during the trip or
present himself to any throngs
such as saw him on political swings
across the country in 1882, 1886
and 1910.
The President told reporters
that the working people with
whom he talked were wholeheart-
eddy in favor of his program for
stabilizing living costs. One fore
man told him, he said, that work.

NEW YORK, Oct 12.-Three play
ers, including All-America frankie
Sinkwich of Georgia, share the lead
among the Nations football scorers
as the season nears its halfway
point.
Others of the top-ranking trio are
Lee Tevis of Washington University
at St. Louis and Ralph La Pointe of
Vermont. Each has scored AZ points.
The performance of La Pointe out
ranks those of the other two, how
ever. since he has appeared in only
three games while the others have
played four each. In addition, the
Vermont halfback was on the losing
team in two of the three contests
one of which was a 70-13 rout at
the hands of Rhode Island State.
Andy Victor of The Citadel and
Bob Steuber of Missouri are only
points behind the leaders with 80

games, while Steuber needed four tt
