Adrift on a Raft
There's the story of three far
spent men they found adrift on
a raft.
The sea was high, but they
got the first two off safely.
Then the rope parted and the
third survivor seemingly made
no effort to seize the one thrown
in its place. Why not?
He's awake. all right" said
his two comrades, but he can't
move. Broken arm and leg. He
told us TO go first. He's the
mate
For hours they tried to save
him, but neither boat nor SWIM
mer could survive in that sea,
though there were plenty of
volunteers. At last they had to
leave him as they drew
away he waved, not in farewell
or appeal, but in salute. And
then lay back.
A Bit Saved Up
Then there's the story of
Yorkshire seaman with a broken
thigh and fearful cash be-
tween his face.
A CHASTITY job to tackle even
for a regular doctor with a hos
pital at his command. But here
there was only a young officer
doing his best with makeshift
odds and ends.
The agony was beyond human
imagining The lieutenant paused
in the strapping up the leg,
wondering whether the mangled
man could stand any more of it,.
But the seaman, gray with
sweat, grinned back and said.
Go on-I've a bit saved up

war, however, since big machines
today can do the job with a tenth

city worker who can stand blisters.

can do the farmers a good turn.
But for general farm work, the
average farmer shudders at the
thought of inexperienced help, fear
full of turning them loose with ex-
pensive machinery.
Scornful Of City Labor.
AS matter of fact, farmers are
quite scornful, generally, of the
idea of city folk being much help.
Their principal suggestion to the
Washington experts now is to quit
drafting what farmers there are
left and turn the so-called farm re-
placement labor into war work.
Also to release some OF the skilled
farmers already drafted.
And one more thing ,....

All indications. are that. while
some farm land win be idle this
year because of the farmers in
ability to obtain help. most of the
good, productive farms in this area
will be worked.
T. A. Ewing. Boone CMo) County
agent. says that In his section there
probably will be a slight increase
in idle land. Jasper County, Mo-,
also reports it will have 1000 acres
idle this year that were in produc-
ton last. The story is different in
Harvey County, Kans., however,
where farmers grab up adjoining
land not rented by the usual tenant
Oklahoma reports less land idle
than usual
Most reports are that farmers are
planting more this year than ever
before.
Missouri spring paintings were 2
per cent larger than year ago,
with big increases in corn and soy
beans. The trend Is similar over
Kansas and Oklahoma. although
there are spots, such as Douglas
County,; Kans., where the big po-
tato farmers aren't increasing pota-

labor won't be available next fall to
harvest the crop.

than aphids and such chewing in

Since the crop is to be used for
