HOUSTON, Secretary of Agriculture. ‘Washington.—Some time ago I is sued a‘statement concerning the farm- Iabor problem. It was pointed out that there will be farm labor difficultles’to evercome.this year as last and that in certain -sections, especlally in the ullhborhood of large industrial cen- ters, the difficultles will be acute. The lnes “of effort were indicated along which- the departments of agriculture and labor, .through representatives in various ‘states co-operating with thc agricultural colleges and other ‘agen cles, are working to furnish assistance Briefly stated, these agencles are doing the following things: (a) making a survey of the farm-labor situation in qach community with a view to discov- er possible surpluses-of labor, in-orde to be ready to assist in furnishing la- bor wherever it 1s needed; (b) assist- ing again in shifting labor from com- munity to community and from state to ntate, as In past years; (c) promoting fuller co-operation among farmers in the same - community; (d) making available, so far 'as possible, high- school boys in rural districts who have bad experience in farming and who are not normally. regularly or fully em- ployed in farming operations; (e) mak- ing every effort to see that there is no obstacle In the way of the production of a larger supply of farm machinery unfi {ts-fuller use as a supplement to hand labor. g Natlonal Army May Help. Lut year, in spite of all the difficul: fles, the farmers planted the largest acreages In the history of the nation, harvested record crops of most impor- tant things except wheat, and suc cee(led in greatly increasing the num- ber of live stock. Since last year akilled farm labor has been given de- ! of war has asked for power to furlough soldlers of the National'army if thelr tralning permits, so that they may re- turn to their farms and assist. It'is Dbelleved ithat. the farmers of the ‘na- on can, by effective organization and co-operation, with such assistance as can be furnished; agaln overcome la- bor difficulties and produce large quan- titles of foods, feedstuffs ‘and live stock. There Is an opportunity now for ur- ban people sympathetically and con- situation and to render assistance. In many towns and citles there are men are pblebodled, and who would doubt- legs be .willing to serve the nation in the field of agriculture at this time. Eupecially for the seasonal strains of planting, cultivating and harvesting, it whll not be too much to ask such men to ald the farmers in the necessary un- dertaking of maintaining and, if pos- White, s D.—The Rev.

If soldiers are willing to serve in the_trenches, to dig ditches. bulld rall- roads and risk thelr lives, thany. clvil- fans can well afford to sp¥re a part of thelir time to serve in the furrows and in the harvest fieids. If it appears that the farmers of a community or region are not able to secure the nec- qsgary labor by the usual methods, then the leaders in the town or city immediately dependent upon that re- glon should organize, establish touch with representative farm leaders, and | sea If they cannot assist in solving the problem. In so doing they will not only ald the farmers of the nation, but they will vitally contribute to their own well-being and to that of their community. The farmers are willing to do all that they humanly can, but where their labor supply cannot be furnished from | the ordinary sources, it must be re- cruited from those whose very s tenance depends upon the farme: The soldier and the farm DOINGS OF THE VAN LOONS TELEPHONE 3- C.
