Montgomery Women
Disagree on Value Of
City Folk on Farms
Deferment Of Experienced
Farm Hands Suggested
At Round Toble
ny 8 ststf correspondent Of rhe star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, April ls.--
Women Of Montgomery County to-
day appear TO be divided as to what
value city. women. girls and boys
would AFFORD farmers during the
coming summer crop season. follow
ing q meeting Of the Associated
Women Of the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau N the Police Court
room heise. ~ s
The panel discussion developed
various points for and against bring
ing soft" city people to the country
for farm work In place OF the regular
farm hands who have Joined the
armed forces or gone into defense
industries. Opinion ranged from
the belief that any type Of worker
could be Of value to The farmer to
the claim the city worker could be
Of little value other than doing
chores.
E. I. Oswald of the Maryland Uni
versity Extension Service told the
women of experiences In the Balti-
more area, where city boys were
placed on the farms. He said boys
doing farm work. aside from their
meals, could expect from $75 to- $3.50
for summers work.
Defcrment Advised.
Mrs. Philip Watkins, president Of
the Homemakers' Club. told the
group that the wife must help the
farmer and that hired farm hands
should be deferred as vital to the
war effort.
Mrs. William Ward contended city
folk were "too soft to stand the
rigors of farm life.
Mrs. Ward Fulton, chairman of
the meeting, suggested that tempo
rary city workers could be used to
fill in for the regular farm hands on
lighter chores, such as doing handi-
work about the place.
Mrs. Clarence Hendrickson of the
American Women's Voluntary Serv-
ice, declared the Washington labor
field had been thoroughly depleted
and that 1t would be difiicult to find
suitable workers. Mrs. E. Brooke Lee
said, on behalf of the A. w, v. S.
there was a, complete willingness
to cooperate In any way possible
She suggested her organization
could provide such things as trans
portation, recreation and locate va
rious forms of shelter.
Prison Labor Considered.
J.D. King. head of the Farm Labor
Committee. outlined a tentative plar
whereby $50 high school boys coulc
be housed in the various school gym
nasiums. provided with bus service tc
their place of work and given two
meals a day. He added that 1t was
hoped that preliminary training
could be given these boys on Satur.
days during the school term so they
would be In better physical condi-
ton when they went into q full
working week.
o. w. Anderson, Montgomery
County agent, said prison labor has
been investigated but was found Il
be bound in too much red tape ane
paper work and for the time being
seemed an impracticable solution Il
the farm labor problem.
With the bringing in of womer
and girls there would be a socia
problem as to their status on tn,

orally was agreed they could not b
